About a week and a half ago me and my buddy kyle took a adventure out to hillsville pa. A old abandon quarry with TONS of trails around it and a big ass quarry to fish and swim in. Here are some pics from there.

Who said 2wd cant go in mud?

Well i didnt get it done. Just got a job again and hopefully getting another so ill be working 2 jobs and going to high school so it will be a fun senior year.

Im doing the chevy 63in leaf swap. Getting money together for leaves. So it will ride jacked up in the back for a while till i get money for a rough country kit.

Still need to do work on it.

Can anyone photoshop the pic of it thats a clean blue one and make it army green? Its paint is not as clean as it seems and it needs cab corners and a rust spot on hood fixed.

so...150 coils and e350 arms with relocated radius arm brackets to go with the 63 swap and 32's would be a good step...with maybe a drop pitman arm or some stonecrusher steering
