Lance's is pure eye candy. He's got either major cojones or a healthy hamster on the wheel upstairs to mod the heck out of a practically new runner. I wish I could have experienced the ride in his rig compared to my rough descent on that trail on Monday.
"My truck isn't meant for that kind of speed, please slow down Lance!" went through my mind on that trail shortly followed by "wheeeee!" My brother was holding onto the "oh shnikes" handles a lot

Well, Lance was the leader and when he started going fast, so did I. We were going 30-40mph before Lance showed me what his rig can REALLY do and hit 60mph At 40mph the stuff in my backseat looked like the clothes in a dryer. Going up, the stock runners were crawling up it in 4Lo so.....Yeah. You get the idea.
On the gravel roads we took it up to about 70 though.

Airing down would helped. We were going to put in a lot of miles that day so I kept the PSI at 30lbs. 15lbs would have been a much better ride but whatamisupposedtodowhenfollowinglance?

I was tailgun on this trip, so I had to keep it slow, but everyonce in a while I'd stop and let the group get way out of sight, then do a little fast tracking to catch them. I topped out on the rough stuff at 70+, but after hitting a major pothole in a night run going fast, I held my speed down a bit. Would have been fun seeing how Lances rig compared to mine at speed, my guess is his rear was working much better than mine. The Bilsteins were working to their real well. I may have to do something similar to my rig, installing the 14" travel shocks.

I finally found time to setup a fototime site. If you click on the thumbnails you'll find a 640x480 pic, click again and you'll get the 2288x1712 version. The slideshow is sort-of cool; give it a try.

Take a moment to sign the guestbook, if you would.
