Got tired of being blacked out. I'll run Chrome all day as long as it gets me where I wanna go.

This was not a wheeling trip. It's a dirt road. I really liked the Oak pictured below though, and the picture does show my TB. :D

Just a lazy drive, just off the Blue Ridge Parkway. No mods so no build thread. I couldn't post pics of it in the driveway though! Build thread to come soon, hopefully.

At a boat launch. My girlfriend is actually in the drivers seat holding the steering wheel but I used Gimp to remove her face and hands from the shot so I could focus on the real beauty wearing that green bowtie. :D Just kidding.

Interesting pictures. Be careful driving off the road like you are in those pictures. In the states, that is considered illegal (unless it is your own property). Remember, we are out to enjoy the views, not destroy them.

Here in Crete , there are no laws about driving off-road and this is good , but there are other laws that restrict you from modifying your truck so in the end everything is in balance .. :cheers:

Blazernut (Blade on GMTN) sent this to me.

Mall crawlin at the last GMTN meet in Tulalip, WA.

The owner of that Chevy truck in the background was like "I have as much ground clearance as you do! I can do that," and then proceeded to try. A minute or so of tires spinning and general failing later, he discovered why lockers are a good idea.

Then casino security came...

We have a V notch like that in TSF. Definitely gets the pucker factor on especially when it's snotty out.
