Trail Reconnaissance during Memorial Day Weekend

[80 Sack]

I'm looking to put together a few trucks for a little scouting mission. Sat, Sun or Mon, doesn't matter to me. The Tobacco Roots are still a little snowed in, so maybe Pipestone/Boulder?

I'ma be headed down to Moab May 31st to June 6th. So my 'time off' will be used up then.

Otherwise I'd love to go if I could.

Those are some really great pictures! Sorry TC, hate to tell you this but that 40 really steals the show!

Looks like you guys had a great time. Got a question for you. looks like the 80 is running the ST Maxx and the 40 has the STT Pro. Any opinions of how the two tires compared since you guys ran them out the same trail on the the same day?

Ha! You got that right! That 40 is like Glacier NP...you can't take a bad picture! It was a really fun day. The terrain is a little tame, so I'm not sure of any quantifiable difference. but I am giving thought to the STT Pro for summer and a dura trac for winter.

The guy behind the lens does seem to know what he's doing. Great pics Stephen! Now if he could take 20 years off the old guy, I'd say he really is a magician with a camera

Thanks Ron! I'll see what I can do.

 

[elkun1]

Hay Stephen, what's the verdict on the engine? If you want you can run it up on the lift and we can look at the bottom end

 

[bagochips76]

@elkun1 Ron, I have the pan off of it. I hope to have get a chance to pull some caps tonight and check to see if clearances are within spec. If they are (fingers crossed) then I have a new oil pump to put on it which I am hoping will take care of it.
