Default Rovers on the rocks

So i dont have a ton of time tonight. But here ar some links to my pics un edited/un explained:

https://picasaweb.google.com/ryan.ov...versOnTheRocks

And here are my dads pictures similarly:

I'm sorry if the videos dont show up in picasa, i promise when i have time i'll put up stories and embedded youtube videos on the events and weekends section.

Long story short, i spent all friday night at longhauls house using his plasma cutter to torch my wheel wells so i could fit DII flares on my truck (which look(ed) sick by the way) and i spent all day sunday following hilltopper around while he took me on trails that ripped ALL SIX OF THEM BACK OFF MY TRUCK AGAIN. Had a BLAST. Justin and Trevor were awesome, the event was really fun. I'd never been out wheeling before and these things really are the best 4x4xfar. It's ridiculous what they can do.

i love that G4 you have, even the color. That thing is awesome. Rausch was a blast. I went from never having wheeled my truck before to having it sideways and driving up creeks inside of a day. what an experience.

I'll bet you loved the plasma cutter too. Imagine what Disco projects you could use that for......

The mind reels when one thinks of such things. Yeah, it was also amazing. Cuts aluminum like "buttah". you could do a lot of fun stuff with that thing. Hell, brian does. He throws back a few moosehead and says "hmmm, maybe i'll whip up a diff guard", or "i bet i could build a bumper" then he does it. He's got fun tools

I'd do it all over again too. Although I say this now because my wife has only seen the truck in the dark covered in mud so I don't think she knows what I did yet. Haha. What a great time
