Glad you got the truck ready. :thumbup: 

 

 

 

 

Nice spot!

 

 

It really is, only 1.5 hrs from my house too. :cool:

Disclaimer: I plan to use this truck as a truck and play in the woods with my friends.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Looks like your not treating the dog as a friend, your making him walk- unless of course it's your spotter-ha

[]2eDeYe]

He walks or rides as he pleases :)

Went to Walker Valley this weekend, was a short day of wheeling due to Nuff breaking his steering arm. I didn't get too many pics either as Mads was texting her dad with my phone. :lol:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Broken shit. I drove back down and welded it back up with some reinforcement and it got him all the way back home. Didn't get any pics after the fix, but Nuff should have a bunch. 

 

 

 

Waiting on parts removal..... 

 

 

[Jester]

How the hell did he do that? Especially with tires that small. 

[]2eDeYe]

It was actually this truck that broke. :lol: 
 

 

It's got the 35" Krawlers that used to be on my Jeep that I initially ran on the green truck before the MTR's.

The stock J-arm has never been touched until this happened. It was breaking for a while, you can see how far due to the corrosion and there were cracks formed all over near the break. It was just a matter of time. 

 

 

 

 

 

I brought it home and fixed it up. 

 

 

 

 

 

It got him home and will go into his truck box as a spare after he gets a new one. The new one will get the ball flipped to reduce the operating angle when the tire is at full droop. 

 

 

 

This is the same truck, many moons ago. 

 

Probably sometime late 2005 

 

 

 

During our Memorial trip 2006   :lol:

 

 

It's had a pretty easy life as you can tell :rofl:

[]2eDeYe]

So the trans died in Nuffs truck... on the way to Gallagher lake, just before taking the pass on I90. Pretty sure it's the original trans. :lol: 

 

I made the entire trip though. Hope you guys like pics. :D

 

Passing through Seattle

 

 

 

 

Made it to Exit 22 on 90 and nuff had to turn around due to the gravel in his transmission. :(

 

 

Made it to Roslyn 

 

 

Convoy to the lake.

 

 

Beautiful area. 

 

 

 

Lunch on. 

 

 

Trail head

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Up we go

 

 

[]2eDeYe]

Pit stop.

 

 

 

 

Moving on up

 

 

 

 

 

 

Made it to the lake :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cool dog
 

 

Hot dogs, lunchtime :)

 

 

 

 

 

Running hot... remove hood :D

 

 

Or jump in a lake :lol:

 

 

 

Heading the rest of the way up. I think our final elevation was around 7000ft. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Not quite to the top but this was the payoff, views of Rainer. :cool:

 

[datzenmike]

Nice. Reminds me I have to go up to the alpine pastures near me also. They flower for a few weeks about now. Go up in a mid August and it gone.

[]2eDeYe]

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

End of the road, top of the trail. :cool:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Time to head back to the lake. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and then time to head home. My buddy Dale and I said later to those that were camping or cooking before heading out and made our way down.

On the way we ran across a couple crazy guys headed up on bikes and helped them pass a tough spot. No way would I take a bike up there. :lol:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Back onto Roslyn for another tank. Used 3/4 tank up to the top and back to this station. 

 

 

 

...and then I stopped a my favorite bbq place. There used to be one by my house, but the owner reneged on their lease. Now the only time I can get some is passing Exit 22 on I90. :(

 

 

 

Left my house this morning at 8am and got home at 9pm.  

Truck made it over the pass no problem. I did slow to 57 in 4th right at the tippy top, but cruised a lot of the drive at 70 in 5th. 

 

It did run a bit warm on the climb up to the lake. I think I know what I am going to do with the louvered hood I got from Dave. :devil:

 

 

One thing I did before the trip, I figured it would be a warm day. 

 

 

 

 

 

...and what a fucking huge difference it made. I could just crack the drivers window and get a flowing breeze throughout the cab. :cool:

[hobospyder]

Making me want me Levan in even more. Think you could spare some time next weekend?

[]2eDeYe]

Levan? :lol: 

[hobospyder]

[Eagle_Adam]

[]2eDeYe]

Yes, yes you do. :)

[Bleach]

[]2eDeYe]

Me too! :D

[]2eDeYe]

Got to go play in the woods over the weekend. A bit of snow made the day really festive. :)
