Here are some pics from Carnage from Labor Day weekend (thanks Keith & gang!) along with one worthwhile pic from Moab. I have a couple of videos from carnage and a whole lot from Moab, but I have to go through them first. I'll try to get those posted this week. Hopefully these don't suck too badly!

Bandwidth alert--lots of pics to load.

looks like a rovertym without the steps all around it...

Rovertym--custom made to accomodate a 2" body lift, and then further modified by me.

Overall how much lift do you have? 2" body 3" sus? Overall i love your truck and this is the direction i'd like to take my disco. Also what do you do with the spare?

darkstar

Blue--thanks for the compliment. BTW, you got it exactly right on the lift. I find that it works great and climbs everything I point it at. The only failed climbs I have had (on this last trip) were because of either approach angle, or fear of lots of body damage (got some, can't escape it :flipoff2: )

The spare is in the back, where the back seats used to be.

Was this the Carnage north of Denver or the one out near Buena Vists near Chinamens?

I have almost no wheeling pics from moab on my camera. I'll get the videos going as soon as I can.

PUSSY!!! :flipoff2:

Chicks dig body damage, remember? Just like everything else in life, after the first time, you learn to deal with it!

You gonna play, you gotta pay. Sometimes with dollars, sometimes with paint, sometimes sheetmetal. Either way, you gotta pay.

i've kinda written off the rear quarter panels ... and bumpers aren't that great either at saving you from damage. there's no way a bumper could have prevented this:

Sure. I prefer not to pay with glass, if I can avoid it.

That, my friend, is why you have parts trucks :flipoff2:

Somehow I don't think my neighbors (or my wife) would appreciate a junkyard in front of the house

would be nice though

Edit--also, you're coming to the next Badlands outing, and I'm making you break something, damn it!

Wait awhile so I can afford to replace my tires after destroying one in the UP over Labor Day. I'm still trying to figure out which gas station to rob to finance a trip to MAR. Look for my Series truck on eBay $oon-I hate to see it go, but that's a) why we bought it, and b) the way it goes sometimes.
