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.
