As everyone knows this past week was the Dixie Run. I had a lot of new stuff going on.

231 doubler. Highly recommended. Did everything I wanted it to do. Much better than going with just lower axle gears.

Bought a big Igloo cooler. like 110-120?? qt 5 day ice thing. Worked better at keeping ice and things cold than anything I had ever had before.

Bought a Doz Sausage biscuits from Bo Jangles. Wrapped them real good in aluminum foil. Have a hot dog / vegi steamer. Put the biscuits in the steamer and wah-lah, come out tasting like you just pulled out of the drive thru

My tarp that goes over my van, awning if you will, come down last year when the wind blew. Made some pieces to hold the center stakes on top of the van, and Koozies to keep them from making holes in the tarp. Worked very well.

Grooved the 44 TSL's and they did great. Not IROK great, but over all no complaints.

Tube fenders. No more inner fender getting into my tires. And well, just looked a lot better

Things that didn't work so well:

Chip



:flipoff2:


I love the 5-day cooler as well.
 
Hey Chip.......You better check that cooler...I think Maycee left you a few goodies in there.
Swiss cake rolls
Shrek fruity snacks
Little Debbie Peanut butter bars
Oatmeal cookies
Oreo minies
Chips Ahoy minies
NutterButter minies..........you know, all the stuff I could'nt find on the way home...LoL

We had a great time with you all. We stopped for pizza in the Gorge and had fun eating it by the river. Watching the rafts go by. What a fun trip it was, just me and Maycee!
 
:)

Yes, Dylan, we found it yesterday when we unloaded the cooler! Chip says, "What is this?" I said, "Uh oh, Dylan left Maycee's snacks!" LOL

Thanks, John!

What exactly is this supposed to mean? Surely you don't think IROKS work better than a swamper. You sure you didn't hit your head up there?:lol::popcorn:

facts are facts

I have watched many different types of tires run the terrains around here. So far, nothing out preformed the IROK's

I have seen many with side wall holes, and rips, but traction is awesome.

I was thinking the same thing as GONOVRIT! How many rigs did you see KRAWL the School Bus ledge and the left line on the ledge on Lower 2 with Irocks? Seems to me my TSLs hooked up just fine :driver: Traitor :confused:

Holy Schmoley Dylan!! Good thing ya left this stuff with Chip! You woulda had Maycee bouncin off the walls all weekend! LOL!:bounce::bounce2:
 
Chip only got 1/2 of it. And maycee was a bouncin for a while Sat. night. All the sweets were part of the plan. Since Brooke(my wife) was not there to take her to bed when she got tired, I used the sugar rush to my advantage this time.:shaking: I knew the raffle would take well into the night, way past her bedtime, and I was not about to go to the tent early and miss the raffle..lol.........

The next morning was a different story. I had to hold her hand for 10 min. in the hot, stinky, porta potty while she went:poop:


Ahh...Good times.....good times my freind!
 
Chip can we expect a things that didnt thread?

I did on Schoolbus but didn't make it to Lower 2. Irok 42"s.

Please continue :popcorn:
 
The question was "how many did you see KRAWL" vs jump up with wheel speed. I was also refering to our group, not hearsay :) Not knocking your success, just pointing out what I meant.
