Holy hell!! Give me until tonight to look at all this! I'm on the cell phone and it wouldn't fully show the awesomeness.

Just watched everything. That place looks like a blast and your truck is a beast. Glad to see you back posting and I love your wheels. They look like the Mopar wheels.

Thanks! Just got a new GoPro, so hopefully I will be re-energized and motivated to go out and capture some fresh material, both stationary and video.
I wished you were closer. I sure would enjoy someone riding 'shotgun' who was into it, other than the wife screaming at me. Especially if they also had a truck to serve as a 'portable anchor' for the Winch. Then I could really get crazy.
Despite how it appears, I don't take that many chances, being alone out in this harsh (either super hot, super cold or blowing, dry environment) especially with health issues now that I am getting older, that makes the idea of walking out, or spending night(s) in the rig until found particularly sucky. Back when I was 20, it was ALL fun. Then again, it had to be. I could not afford the good gear back then, and had to solely rely on skill, luck and my own smarts to get me out of whatever I might have gotten myself into.
Now a days, people die of dehydration or hypothermia just sitting on the side of the highway, stuck on a sandy shoulder. Let alone, those that venture way back in the boonies like I do.

OH, and truck itself is 100% stock, and just put on the American Racing STX Series Teflon Coated Wheels and 32x12.50-17 General Grabbers.
Oddly, when turning in parking lots at regular droop (truck empty), the fronts just barely buff the inside middle rear of the front plastic fender liners. Right about where you see the shadow of my "Three Fingers" to the right, behind the tire. No rubbing on the Links, lines or even the inner lip of the metal fender. Including when fully stuffed, tucked or sagging.
Mine is a 2013, so the later model air bag / coil guys with all the additional linkages, etc may be different.
I forget the offset / backspacing / Model or Series number of the wheels at the moment. I just recall that they were "Scratchproof" Teflon coated a Satin Black with 'phony' bolt head inner bead lock looks.
Bolted right on. No spacers, etc.
Shots taken on a brief segment of what remains in between the washed out bits of the old, original Route 66 at sunrise one morning. Nasty, super abrasive old lava rock asphalt road bed surface. If only those pebbles could tell their story...

Back Again! It's been about Six years, so I thought I was pretty much over due to post some new stuff.
Fresh new videos will be posted soon. Various items, but Off Road Power Wagon, M9998 Humvee and Motorcycle Touring will be the primary topics.
Unfortunately, it seems Youtube has locked up my old "Brakelate Video" channel, so all the new stuff will be posted here;
