The last three days me and Oatmeal man were camping up off of Guenella Pass in Georgetown, Colorado.

We wheeled up a ways into Mt. Mecullein (sp?) to see the abandoned Wardolf Mine.

It was a sick trip, rain was a pain in the ass for us and Mitch didn't even think to bring a fawkin' sleeping bag. So we spooned. I'm kidding, I had an extra. But we still spooned. I'm still kidding.

After the Exploder 8.8" swap I have mismatched gear ratios (3.73s rear and 4.10's front) so I ran the entire trail in 2 high. The trac loc really helped out on the loose rocks and shit. The extended shackles and having 500 lbs of wheeling gear, camping gear, and my girlfriend and her best friend in the bed helped me keep traction in the rear. It was a blast.

Most likely the last time I'll wheel her with IFS. I'll be runnin a Waggy D44 up front with leafs. Hell yeah!

I apologize for the shitty cell phone pictures but thats all I got

If you look hard enough you can see the alcohol induced yellow diff cover with a melting spray paint smiley face

Hell yeah! I remember thinking "Bad ass ranger!"

We saw you twice if I remember correctly...

Right on
 
Yep twice, I was dropping off a friend in empire. I like your no doorness. I want to make my truck some tube doors eventually that i can use in the summer, and keep the stock doors for winter. Is no doors street legal?
 
There's another discussion goin on about this with another CO dude. I havn't had any trouble.

I'm actually on my way to the junk yard after pay day for some swing away spare tire carriers to turn into tube doors.

The no-door-ness is nice in the sun but that rain fawkin blew
 
ya it was raining pretty good on the pass. LOL what form is the door converstion in ? I remember seeing it a few days ago.
