Went on a long over-due wheeling trip this past weekend, so I've got some pictures for a long over-due thread update. The ranger and I went to Wellsville, OH with the Glass City Crawlers to play on over 4,000 acres of hills, woods, and creek beds. What an awesome area! It has a "questionable" reputation, but the trails and scenery are AMAZING. 

Started off the day with a group photo (of course). Once again, I was the only ranger in the group. The hill behind is called scooby (or this one may have been shaggy...  ). We had to descend this hill after the photo, and that was the most uncomfy 400 yards of my life  lol    Hill is super steep and washed out, which made for quite a few pucker-moments. 






Coming down scooby (I have no clue why this photo is sideways, and it wot let me rotate it, so just turn your head and use your imagination  lol)






Some of the other rigs in the group










Random pics of the ranger kicking ass














Burnt up the warn winch connectors during a self recovery. Thankfully, I didn't need it the rest of the trip. This is like my third set of these connectors, so I really need to figure out what I'm doing wrong haha





























More group photos. These jeepers are real big on photos, which is a blessing, because I'm awful at them. 










All in all, it was a great trip. Once again, the truck surprised the hell out of me. I was playing out of my league the whole weekend (I had the smallest tire, only IFS rig, and was one of only two open diff rigs), but the truck kept up. I did leave with some body damage. I caved in the passenger side rocker panel and tore up the passenger side ext. cab door pretty good. Thankfully, I think I can pound out the rocker panel and I have a replacement door already (old one was really rotted out anyway). Could've been muchhhhhh worse.
