Well I went shooting today with the fiance, her son, brother and dad. He drove, and this is what happens when you let your father in law drive your truck





my fiance's son:


the .22 thing is a tac driver



me shooting the .22, was in a crappy position



me and her brother:

3 wise men:)



the general on his tank directing us what to do:



shooting the kimber USA Shooting team .45 ( i LOOOVE this pistol)



aaand the fun with the truck.... long story short, pulled to what we thought was the shoulder to let a tractor by.. well it wasnt the shoulder, the grass was so high it made it look like a shoulder.. itw as a straight drop off, about 3 feet..













my favorite:

notice the REDNECK hat :)



the truck was resting on the frame, we wernt going anywhere. had to get the tow truck to come pull us out.. was a fun time! lol

 

Shooting sounds like fun, but sucks about getting stuck in the ditch.

 

Damn son! I bet that was a fun ride

 

haha yeah, shooting was def. fun. the ditch wasnt all that bad of a deal, feel bad for the dad in law, he is soo embarrassed about it.. could have happend to anyone. no damage to the truck so no biggy

 

haha you should have seen his eyes hahaha. i just looked at the ground and was "**** im bout to kiss that grass" haha.

btw, your truck is **** with the 35's. EXACTLY what i want, any rubbing? and all you have is the 2" lvling kit right?

 

Who was in the front passenger seat when you guys drove off the cliff?

 

lol he wont ever want to drive your truck again now lol. lucky he didnt roll it on the side

 

Haha thanks. No rubbing here, 2" bilstein level. Love it

 

lol
Looks like you almost started a "I rolled my truck today" thread.

 

lol, i know! I thought it was going over, but luckily it didnt! Yeah, he woudlnt drive it back into town, i couldnt figure out why? f

Im wondering if 35's would have made it possible to get out?

 

If it helps you justify them, sure! lol
The truck also would have been sitting 3" higher and slid further down the ditch, so I don't know. Honestly when it's sitting like that, the best thing to do is pull on it I think, rather than trying to throttle out of it and shift the weight around more.

 

yeah, thats what we decided to do. Called in the tow truck, and he spent 10 minutes trying to decide which way he wanted to pull her out. Decided that either way(pulling from the front or back) the opposite end would swing around, and since the rear end would most likely handle the abuse a little better, we pulled from the front. In the end the rear end didnt swing around and everything worked out. Although half-way into pulling her out the winch on the tow truck started to crap out . so he has to get a new winch this weekend lol.

Brian, You still trying to get rid of your 35's? I still havnt decided whether i want a 35 or 33.

 

looks like a good time, reminds me i need to get out and put some rounds down range. besides getting hung up in a ditch, hows that truck treating ya?

 

Bet you have to clean at least one of those seats now... lol

 

Close call for sure! Looks like a good time otherwise.

 

That was me that was trying to sell them. They're always for sale for the right price haha

 

Oh, i thought it was brian. Why are you trying to sell yours? and you have the 18's right? Unfortunatly i have the 17's.

the truck is treating me great! other than a few hicups with the tranny, its running like a champ! i need to get the truck into the tranny shop here and have them install a lift kit, feels like its starting to slip a little. DOES NOT like it when i go WOT.

I leave this month for training, then afghanistan in october(training from now until then). so the truck will be getting new shoes, Poss. a lift thinking about just going with coilovers and bilstiens, and a AAL in the back instead, new exhaust, intake and a Gryphon.

 

haha i think the one that freaked the most was the fiance, mostly because her 3 year old was in the booster seat at the time. the look on the father in law's face was priceless though hahaha
