Played in the snow this weekend. Got stuck in some deep snow on a mountain side on a steep banked corner, remembered my tires were still at 40 psi, dropped them to 18 psi, and drove out no problem.

Out for a short drive to make sure my new rear bumper will stay put.

New rig out for our maiden voyage...

Nice! Did the same Atomic swap 2 years ago on a 2001 Tahoe. Love it. Only difference is I oriented the shocks 180 degrees to what you did. I see your way has more clearance, I rub on the first bolt on the top left. Curious what your settings are, it is likely we have the same shock and spring. I use: Compression 6, Rebound 11 for daily, or backed off to compression 4, rebound 8 for long stretches of washboard. But anything on the compression below 6 I do bottom out a little more than I like with full load out.
Great trip To TNF on the 600-1 and 600-2 trails.

Lucky enough to have two vehicles that I use for overlanding. A 2010 6.2 L Ford F150 (Raptor) SCAB. that is used for longer excursions with the wife. Pulls a small travel trailer. Plan to add a bed rack, RTT And winch.

My number 2 rig is a 1986 Toyota regular cab 4x4 base (Craptor AKA The Toyletta ) with the indestructible 22R and 5 speed. This is also a daily driver to keep miles off the Raptor and on shorter trips I make solo. Plans are either a sottopper or a bed rack so I can use a RTT on either truck.

I had an 86 like that. My grandfather bought it new then I had it for a while until my dad bought it back. I miss that truck

Here's my 5 year 1980 CJ5 Resto with a rebuilt AMC 360. This project has taken on a life of it's own with some new plans for 2021 and 2022. With 3 large dogs I will only take her out on Solo camping trips towing a Scout Trailer. My Ram is in the first year of mods; I just installed a ProComp 2.5 leveling kit, Power Stop Z36 front and rear, and slapped on a new set of ProComp A/Ts (Last Pic), with the rest of year 1 mods ordered or stored away in the garage I'm waiting for spring. (Softopper, Prinsu Rack, Decked, Vice Designs Winch Mount, Smittybilt 12k Winch and more) Now with 3 pups the Ram will be primary rig. Prior to me picking up the ram in 2018 my toss the pups and go rig was a 2013 Ford Edge with a Rhino Rack and Hitch Bike Rack.

I love the build, I should have my decked and Prinsu in soon, and next spring I'm going to add the KB voodoo rack.

On the Bulldog Canyon trail (NE of Phoenix) in March. They closed the border with Canada while we were there so we had to head for home
