So whats going to happen to the old Chevy then?

Growing up doesn't always mean get rid of your toys, you still need that excuse to get out of the house!

It's paid for so I wont get rid of it, but I'll probably make it more streetable and just drive it or something. That or park it in the back corner of a barn for 20 years.

You might want to get a barn first before you plan to let it sit for 20 years

I think there should be a repo crew for wasted wheeling rigs

Make it driveable. Yeah it won't be the most comfortable thing in the world but it would look pretty cool. That's why I'm building my Bronco the way I did, just so I could drive around and look cool, and still play hard. Plus I think it gives you more of an opportunity to enjoy all the work work you put into it.

I just got home from The Bad Lands and all be it I used my stock Ranger on several things. I had a blast except for the freezing cold hurricane force winds we had last night, all night. But the new sleeping bag I bought kept me snug as a bug!

P.S. That is a long ass drive from St.Louis ( 4 hours maybe more ) , but not as far as Black drove! I also want to see that video of the tire staying still while the wheel was spinning lmao ( funnier in person )

Well, as much as I hate to admit it, today was a blast. The 3.5 hour drive with my sway-happy trailer on the other hand wasn't much fun... Oh well. I'm going to look into figuring out what I can do about that.

Pics and video to follow I hope....:icon_thumby:

Yeah man I'm glad you made it. The ol' Chevy didn't do too bad.

I got some pics from earier in the day, then my batteries died. Hopefully Josh or Justin got some good pics and can post em up. Here's the highlights of what I got.







OK, my pics suck haha. Hopefully someone got some decent footage of the quarry action.

Photobucket is being a pain, and I am exhausted. I will try to get pics up here in a few but the movies are being weird.

Did that tire end up holding air for you all the way back?

I can honestly say that I have never seen that happen before. :icon_thumby:

The tire held air just fine. I started the day out with 10psi in all of the tires and I finished with 10psi in all the tires. They held 35psi no problem for the next 8-10 hours of driving. I think they are going to be ok, however I see Inner Air Locks for the beads in my future.

Great pictures. Justin, I'm glad that tire held up for ya! Your buddy did get some cool shots, but the one on the highway hanging out the door is really sweet! I'm really impressed with your TTB rig, it kept up with Bray, and took it's share of lashings!

Sunday weather was nice too, but only being there Saturday left me with plenty of the park uncovered and plenty to run again next time I go, however soon or distant future that may be.

:D
