Just a little update I did a little mudding with my bro last weekend at Prentice Cooper. Had a great time except for killing my alternator but it was still fun and I did make it through the hole.

My bro is in the white X he just got it and will be modding soon at my house for a little mod day.

Man.. looks like you didn't make it very far after the hole... I did that once and drove 45 miles home ;)

Well we continued to trail ride after the hole for about another hour then I took off down the mountain and was almost at the bottom where it died. Then I swapped in a fresh battery and drove 30 min home.

Keep me updated on the future mod day for Ty's X. If I'm free I'll get in on that.

Same here...not that I'm free very often lately.....or much help...lol


I keep seeing your rig from the highway on my way to work. Of course, with my hours being dark to dark lately, I can't get a good look at it but it definitely stands out in the Bud parking lot. Looks great!

Will do man that is unless it ends up being spur of the moment. It's hard to plan with my job.

Cool man. I've been working dark to dark a lot too so I understand where you're coming from. I tell you what I'll park near the fence sometime so you can see better lol.

Truck is looking sweet! Love it. Once you added your snorkel did you see an improvement in gas mileage. I heard it's a true cold intake. Love the bumper. It's very similar to what I am doing but slightly different. Did you make it or buy it from a company?

I absolutely love that bumper! Every time I see the pictures of it I start re-thinking what to do for a bumper on mine!

Awesome man glad to inspire someone like everyone else did for me.

Thanks man. Yeah I did notice a difference with the snorkel but nothing I would call huge. Best benefit is that it's getting clean air into the engine rather than dirt from the road. The bumper is custom built I didn't want a cookie-cutter bumper or something others could just buy.
