went up with a few people to try out a trail and got hung up on the 1st obstacle, mainly my steps but the frame scraped a bit as well, will have to try again with 35's and sliders instead of steps, backed out and let the rest go by then we went up the mountain a few more miles and went on some roads I could go on spent 3-4 hours exploring so it wasn't a wasted trip, never mind the screaming kid, lol

big rattlesnake ohv
Did you ever get some sliders? Which ones? I’m thinking about some for thethirdtwin after I shattered the running boards.

I have not yet, kind of haven't done much with it this year because of all the extra rain and snow we got some of the roads have still been closed until not long ago.
kinda on the fence if I want to change it over to 3.72 first and get some 35's

Went up to the Stanislous National Forest to cut a christmas tree, decided to go up past Sonora off hwy 120 a couple miles past Long Barn, I haven't been out that way in 20 years and had not been on any of these forestry roads, this one was slightly sketchy and had no idea if we were going to end up stuck (I can self recover) or at some dead end
this was up around 6000ft elev, about 1 inch of snow here and there, wet. Fun!
some guy in a toyota sr5 had gone by us while were stopped looking at tree's and he didn't come back so I figured he made it thru so it was probably ok to continue.

haven't really done much to it in a while other than drive it and use it for truck stuff!
this morning I did install a rope guard on the flatlink to help keep the rope from getting deteriorated by the sun it has to be riveted on, the sun has already faded the rough country fairlead to a golden color it was
Black.....
so I also ordered a new factor 55 fairlead in gunmetal, should be here in about a week

got the new fairlead on there, not sure what's next once I get xmas paid off I might grab some better front door speakers this thing will take 6x9's and kicker makes some component ones which should be better than the 6.5's I have it now.

installed the new kicker 6x9 speakers, managed to break one in the process so had to go grab another set of 3-way
so now it is a 4-way component set lol. Actually sounds pretty dam good, certainly louder and I didn't even adjust the amp (yet) not sure if I will need to, the kickers may be more efficient than the infinity's were. Took longer to do than i expected and ran out of sunlight, the kicker set came with 6x9 adapters and they almost fit but the magnet was hitting on the guide for the window regulator so used some metra adapters (they are a little deeper) and it all worked out.
only got this one shot
