Using the truck for what it was designed for....

[88gmctruck]

Just a few pictures from a short wheelin' trip yesterday. Haven't had the truck out since April, so it was nice to stretch her legs a bit. She had a full day.

Towing my friends Yota to the park. Even with 3.73s (I know, I know), 35s and the original 350 it still did respectable enough.

Brandon (07HDClassic) met up with us too. He towed the trailer later in the day, since well, you know.

And tow rig now goes to play.

Terrain like this is some of my favorite, as the truck performs great in it. Never lost traction in 2wd and never high-centered. This is why I no longer have IFS.

It still has about another 1.5" up on this side before the bumpstops......and another 4" down on the other side.

The aftermath. I avoided the watery mud for the most part, I hate what it does to my brakes and didn't want to have to clean my hubs out again.....

Following the two diesels back up to brandon's house. Left is a RCLB 12v Cummins and right is Brandon's CCSB 07c Duramax. They tried to smoke me out but failed.....

If I had money to blow, I'd have to get an 83-86 GM CUCV. 1 1/4 ton, Dana 60's, made out of metal. Those were about as stout as you could get in a production vehicle. Drop in a healthy 454 or 496, lift it 9", run 38's and mud the **** out of it. Now that'd be awesome.

I like your style.....mine would be a 502 marine block twin turbo charged....5 ton rockwells 8 inch with 44s cut out fenders......):hthink i'm jokin...once I get money you can take that to the bank
