Wheeling pics

No traffic on my buildup thread, so here are the pics!! LOL

These were taken in Gilmer texas at Barnwell OHV park on the Twister trail(pretty much a 4ft vertical wall)










I dont remember the name of this trail, but I was only one of three to get up without winching. It started at a 2 and we got mixed up and ended up driving up a 4!! This was my first time on a trail too!!









There are more on my cell phone, Ill have to upload them!! But all in all the truck did awesome, like night and day difference, Never had to winch, or be pulled up.

I did get some body damage going up the twister, broke my drivers side corner light, and peeled some rhino liner off my front bumper!! It was great, I dont even want to fix it!! LOL

Im trying to get my HEEP buddies to go up there, its really nice and clean, and its a huge park, about 4 hours away from me.

I towed the toyota with the chevy and got 10mppg going up there and 12mpg comming back. Not to bad, and the hills werent as hard as I thought they would be!

WOW! I thought my truck got stolen for a minute.




I think yours is silver though, which is what mine used to be. I couldn't make it to gilmer this year.

Those boggers take a looong time to break in. I still only run about 4 psi in the rear.

Looks good though.

New tires require a break in before they really start to flex
