  1. I always thought this spot close to where we live would be perfect for this stuff but never tried it till today. Obviously it was a good time, notice my daughter in the back seat in pic number three doing as she calls it throwin up the rock on sign...

    Good times with the family for sure ;)

  2. No mega here, I stuck with the Quad cab when we went to the dually. I wanted a long bed for the 5er. The old 600 I have was 325 horse, is yours different because it's a Nevada truck? Nice rail you've got there!

    on edit: nevermind I see you are from Apple Valley :MBdance:

  3. most likely your running a 3:70 to 1 gear ratio pushing 37" tires you will go faster up the hill and get better milage with 4:11to 1 gear ratio. your crippling your trucks pulling power by not re gearing.

    i run 38 toyos on an 04 so mine makes less power than your new megecab and the difference was big when i dumped my 370s and put in mopar 411s

    also your milage counter on the overhead is most likely incorrect big tires throw off your milage counter and your speedo by about 5mph or more.and your milage by roughly 3mpg to your favor

    it costs roughly 1600 dollars on a 4x4 about 800 per pumpkin well worth it the 411s turn your trucks road ratio back to what it was with 370s and stock tires

    I pulled that hill at around 45-50 this summer at around 98 degrees to say it nicely, IT SUCKED. No toys, no water, just all the stuff we had with us for a 9 day vacation. But our truck at the time only had like 2100 miles. I have 4.10's from the factory in our dually and I couldn't imagine if I had bigger tires! On our old 04.5 Cummins with 4.10's I ran 33's, it seemed to be a good combo. Dodge offers 4.10's and 3.73's from the factory for there third generation trucks. I would say that a jump to 4.10's would help alot, and get some guages if you don't already have them. If I wouldn't have had guages I could have walked up the hill somewhat faster(egt's), but most likely needed a tow to the stealership! good luck...

  4. Pavement ... :D

    speeders on the road ... :ninja:

    speed bumps ... :D

    rocks thrown at the new truck and trailer because of speeders ... :dunce:

    I had a huge rock thrown up at the truck on presidents day from some idiot prerunner leaving and passing us at least 60 - 70 mph! F'en idiots deserve to be shot!

    Thanks to all that had a hand in this project. . .

  5. COOL!! It takes a little getting used to, but after a few trips you learn how to deal with it. :D

    Me and the boy DO NOT use the restroom in our trailer unless its for you no what, or the middle of the night! The funny part about that is one weekend my in-laws went with us and my boy says to my Father-in-law, "no Grandpa our bathroom is over here, i'll show you" and they dissapear behind the trailer, lol.

  6. Let me explain what a dropped call is... once you have signal, then you loose it. You have to have signal first and make a call to get a dropped call. :jester2: :headbang1::DDRrocks:

    I know...I'm guilty but don't really care right now :thumb::ban-split:

    Like I didn't no this already, gEEz so critical with the posts! I was just venting that Cingular sucks period and they claim to be the $h|T!

    :happydrunks:

  7. Those are not Rangers in the pics, just to clarify, they are SBSO. Not that I am a cop lover or anythig but damn givem a break, after they get a ticket for no flags! I am gOOd freinds with a sherrif here in Barstow and he takes his hauler and rail with him on the holiday weekends and during his sometimes less than ten hours off in a 24 hour period he goes and dunes for a lil while. Gets a lil sleep, showers and works! I have been let go by a BLM before with a warning and I no that I was over the legal limit (had to tow my buddy from comp at midnight and was already trashed at camp!). I have a LITTLE bit of respect for the law enforcment I see out there UNTIL I have a bad experience.

  8. :pissed: we had a great time. great weather and good times .:laughoff: we parked at the small dunes, and it was a great. :dunno: finally met pete. :thumb: bumped into him at the venders. be back out there in two weeks. :dunno:

    Good to meet ya man. We had a great time also, actually ran the a/c's on Saturday! Hope everyone had a great, safe weekend.
