Well, some friends and I went out wheelin' New Years day to Tahuya state forest. The Tan 'Yota is Adams and was towed with a 98 RCLB 2500 Cummins. The Black 'Yota is Matt's and was towed with a 05 CCLB 3500 SRW Cummins.
Brandon (07HDClassic) met up with us later in the day, and played around in his Silverado which was quite fun, considering the trails are quite tight in a few places. Not too many pictures, as it was raining pretty hard and we stayed in the rigs quite a bit of the time.
It was a fun day except for the rain coming down. Matt broke a burfield in his 'Yota just towards the end of the day. I had no problems but did come rather close to loosing a bedside after sliding sideways on a rootball. This was the first time out with the NV4500 trans and I can say the super low range was great for this slow moving stuff. I didn't try the rock pile since we spent about 2 hours with Matt's 'Yota on the pile, which kept getting hung up on one rock. We were about tired of standing in the rain at that point and were soaked, so heat sounded nice.
And the "Other misc". So my back window has been leaking and has become much more prominent after being back in Western Washington where the precipitation is actually liquid. A buddy of mine came and pulled the window and I proceeded to pull the seats and carpet to dry things out. The insulation was soaked.... like dripping wet. So she's in the garage down for the count.
The replacement window - swapping the solid glass for a slider. I tinted the already 20% glass with another layer of 20% film.
So today I'm driving Mom's Mini Cooper. I really realized how much safer a truck is on the freeway in traffic - not only do I avoid so much more water spray, but I can see when people ahead are stopping.
