Nice Pictures.
All that rock climbing on fully inflated tires ?? Wow I air my tires down to 14 psi when wheeling rocks.
Beautiful scenery... Wish we had stuff like that around here.

Looks like you had fun!
We'll be at Poughkeepsie Glutch, weather and time permitting, next week Thursday. Gonna be running the Apline Loop from the Lake City side.

hey mt_goat
nice truck you got, definatley one of the nicest pickups i;ve seen, but i was wondering your total amount of lift you have, i see you have a 4 inch lift with a 1" BL and a 1.5 in spcer, so does that give you 5 inches in the rear and 6.5 in the front? and you have 33x12.5 MTs i see and what size rim? i am just wondering your setup because i have a 2 inch BL on my 89 22RE and i want to add a 4 inch suspension and have either 33's or 35's but i want to keep some power so i was thinking just 33's, oh and hows the gearing with the 5.29s and 33's? seems like its a little low geared
nice pics too bye the way, i live close to the rockies and the coriboo mountains in BC and i love the sights
thanks

ya i love the look of your truck, before i thought that 33's would look too small with a 6 inch lift but now i love it, looks real sharp, so you think your need taller gears? i would think that even with the auto that 5.29's would be perfect for 33's but hmmm, well how do you think my truck ( 22RE) would perform with 5.29's? would i be reving at 5 grand to go 120 Km/h on the highway or do you even know? lol ya its beautiful in BC, i take it your in colorado?, i got about on hour drive and i am right in the cariboo mountains, i can see them from above my house in the distance, great snowmobiling country, we get about 30 feet of snow up there or more in the winters,
where did you get your fender flares from? and how much?
thanks

I am in Oklahoma, these are our vacation pics. Colorado is a 1 day drive from me.
The fender flares are Bushwackers, I can remember where I got them, I know it was about 1997.
I'd love to go heli-sking up in BC! You don't happen to have a heli-sking operation do you?

lol, actually i just got out of the heli-skiing thing, if you woulda asked me a week agao i coulda set you up lol jokes, no i don;t have an operation, but i am interested in getting my piloting lisence, and there is an operation in town here that could do it but its not just for skiing, i'd have to say that whistler would be the best heli-sking area also the kootneys too, so let me know if you wanna go and mabye i could help you out or point you in the right direction

Nice pictures, MT Goat. I was worried about Black Bear when I was wheeling in CO last year since my truck was stock and never wheel before. Guess I am going to try this september
