that truck reins supreme over all others on this site IMHO!

Why isnt that guy in the offroad forum?

That thing has 54" boggers and a wicked 810" boss 9 stroker on juice written all over it. The great part is...the 5tons would laugh.

my truck is basically finished for now. Im waiting to go on a floggin adventure. Ive got to figure out something with the rear axle. I need to upgrade to a 70 or sterling but its not in the budget. Moser wont give me any more shafts so Ive got stocks in now. Ive drawn up some ideas to build a new front mount for my traction bars with a driveshaft loop. I just have to get off my **** to do it. Ive also got plans to make some custom door panels because my pos jc whittney panels are crap and I dont want to pay $200 bucks for new ones. I also want hood pins and a funcional ram air scoop but thats just ideas.

The weather is good now but give it a month and itll be 100 degrees with 80% humidity 6 days a week so I need to get on something.

Ill have to plan a day and take the GF this time. My wheelin adventures are usually last minute kinda just happened type things. I met some trail guys on Pirate who only live about 30-45 min from me and they are planning a day at the end of the month. I dont think George would be much good on trails considering size but Ill try it. I know its ugly and has dents already but I dont want to bash it into trees if you know what I mean.

Atleast not sober.
