Smile Finally did some wheelin

What fun ! I went on a short trip today to hunt / wheel . This can be addictive . I only took pictures in one place , and still felt like a total goof getting out and taking pics in the middle of it . Another rattle to find and some chips im sure but as long as my truck had fun its OK . I think its time for some deavers

Ill try and put the pics in my gallery as well

Was that in the Cleveland Ntl. Forest? That's where it looks like you are at.

BTW: The truck looks good out there! And yea.. some Deavers will help..

Great pics guys! Looks like great fun. I'm so jealous of Cali!? Beautiful view!
Mercula - I love how you've put the color keyed mirrors and door handles on your truck. Look great!

Im in San Diego too. Like what you have done with your truck. I just bought the same truck in black sand!

What exactly are those wheels, where did you buy them and for how much?

I wont buy wheels unless the center caps will fit on them, do yours?

Can you also tell me where exactly you were wheeling...Im thinking of hitting up coyote canyon on wednesday of this week...but I would like to check out some other trails... Looks kinds like Blair Valley.

Last but not least, did you put a lift on (details please). Sorry but your truck looks great and I might try out a few of your ideas.

Default Behavior

I`m concerned about the growing number of members who are taking their trucks off road if this behavior continues I`ll have no choice but to applaud loudly

Get any quail??I thinned the mountain quail population some this weekend........

Looks great!

I'm a little biased because I have an '06 silver DC longbed on order, and have already picked up a set of EVO wheels like yours

I like the stance of your truck. What are you running, suspension/lift wise?

Thanks,
--Eric

The wheels are Weld cheyenne 6's EVO-(chrome) 16x8 , Got them for about 400 a piece througha friend a discount tire .My truck isnt 4x4 I assume that is what you mean about the center caps ?

Lift is Prototype bilstein CO's (snapring type) Got some friends at bilstein and I was a beta truck , They are set at about 2 1/2 in of lift . The rear is stock springs with bilstein 5100s for shocks . The area is called Mccain valley , Not much of a wheelin place(for trucks)But they do have a offroad area called Lark canyon. I dont really know many other places because dont have time to get out much .

No Jungle , no quail Got out there kinda late , lots of people still , Every one of my "special little spots" had footprints through them It was raining on me half the time as well . It still felt good to walk around with my guns a little. Your dogs look thrilled in that pic
