Overlook from the Elkhorns at 5200 feet, on the way up to Anthony Lakes outside of North Powder, near La Grande, OR.

You can kinda see the Wallowa mountains in the background.

I'm new to the forum, and quite honestly, i've owned my TB for almost 4 years now, and only ever thought lifting it and moddifying it like i have seen from many of you, was just a dream.

but holy hell, just about every one of you have made your TB's amazing.

I am also new to car maintenance. but im learning what i can as i move towards the plans i have for my TB.

They were 16x8 steelies. They were recentered and got the DIY beadlock treatment by the previous owner. Basically a 16x9 now. They are just painted. I slapped the 36 13.5 Iroks on just to play with and finally use the beadlocks since they have been sitting in my garage for about a year.

--The 36 Iroks stood a shade taller than the 315 guard dogs and both the gd and the irok are a full inch taller than the 35 12.5 15 AT's I just took off the truck. The gd are 3/4 tread, the irok right about wear bars, and the ATs are 1/4 tread, the Iroks new would likely be too big to wheel.

Finally got around to processing some photos from our mini-trip to Kentucky, Tennessee and North Carolina. Most of the off-roading we found was really tame. Not enough to warrant a trail report, but if you wanted a road report, we found some beautifully scenic drives between the Red River Gorge and the Smokey Mountains. :safari:

Anyways, some random rig shots:

The Nada Tunnel was a lot of fun to drive thru and turn on all the trucks lights.
Image

The tunnel is incredibly narrow, to the point you could reach out and touch the rock walls with your hands.
