Katemcy Rocks
MOAR pics!!

Closing weekend!
Amazing.. best wheelin trip to date.
I left my tires at 25psi and hardly slipped the tires, they only slipped if they were wet, but they still hooked up like a ****!
My carnage:
-tweaked the hell out of the trans cross member
-another warn.. i think it was full of **** from the lake still
-broke the steering intermediate shaft under the dash-- FACTORY PART..twice, horrible ****ing design.
-stripped out the threads on the ball joint part of the one ton TRE on the pitman arm
-both axles are leaking like sives
-diff cover and d44 took a custom shaving..
-had to replace the rear u-joint cause it was mad tickin, no grease, I blame that on the trip to the lake.
-clutch is on its final leg
lessons learned. granite is some nasty ****, square DS ate some rock
, high pinion axles are the **** when your high centerd on a big pile of rocks, i STILL need a rear locker or spool. I even let the right foot have some fun and didn't break a shaft.
I need a clutch, roasted the **** out of it in one hole, need a hydraulic ram, need a p/s cooler, need a cage, and NEED a rear locker.
The front spool wasnt THAT bad on the rocks, i thought i was gonna have to unlock hubs to turn, but for the most part I just left them locked in.
here's some pics, the guy who took a ton of my truck won't have them uploaded for a while.

one of the few times I almost flopped.. I thought FOR SURE it was going over, that pass. tire was all of about 2" away from that rock before the truck came back and settled down
I came down this wedge, the video is uploading to youtube.

mine.....thank you sir!
the landowners are renewing the lease to the people who run the offroad park. they say they want to live on it or something. anyway, i was rig 205 and i got in late friday night. but, we sat in the pavilion until about 3 am and watched rvs and rigs roll in all night and some saturday morning. i heard reports of over 350+ rigs out there....
