Looks just awesome Johnny. I would add tube fenders up front and enjoy that until the wiring harness melts! All my students are going to wave to you. There's another blue 40 in town too, and like me he's a red head.

What if I told you I have metaltech tube fenders that need built lol #thanksbob

He had a bunch of parts that I need to go through and inventory/build

so where and what time are we meeting up

@90WT said 9 am at the intersection of S. Boulder Rd and Armstrong Road or 8 am in Norris, probably at the gas station. I'm planning to come in from the north, so I'll do the 9 am meet up at the intersection. I'll be monitoring 146.460 too.

Ok so @bagochips76 and I are rolling out at 7:45 from WinCo north Bozeman (official), possibly meeting @elkun1 at town pump in Manhattan (unofficial as of this post), otherwise meeting @90WT / @pigmony at 9:00 (most official) at the crossroads of S. Boulder Rd and Armstrong Road near the north end of the tobacco roots!

Goodnight and I'll check this in the AM

Stephen just lost his voltage regulator on his way to Belgrade so we're hitting the shop to try to swap it real quick and then we'll be on the road again should be a 15-20 minute detour

It's a good thing @bagochips76 knows a guy

It wouldn’t be a 40 run without at least one fix.

I blew an electric fan fuse on the way to the trail head and had to stop at a gas station for some spares, @bagochips76 rebuilt his locking hubs in the dirt, and I never was able to get my t-case into low range, but nothing that couldn't be fixed or worked around. Overall, a pretty successful day for the old trucks.

Great day everyone. Lots of fun! Kavik has been successfully washed as of this post... For those of you that weren't there the first thing the dog did while airing down was go roll in cow s#$@... This was an ongoing theme throughout the day.

@finally your paint would've hated this trail. We veered off from the original plan to go towards sailor lake and instead went south towards a mine.

Ended up being 146 miles, driveway to driveway, for me. Now I've got my tablet, my laptop, and my phone out, trying to figure out how to connect to the trails on the other side of that ridge and shopping for a small chainsaw.

I looked last night and while they get close I don't think they ever connect

I came to the same conclusion.

Soooo epic!

Sad to miss my own run. So glad you guys made it happen! Trucks look great everyone!

 

[90WT]

That was one of the most fun times I've ever had behind the wheel. We should do this more often than once a year.
