river crossing, stuck in snow..same day!

[alaskanexpy]

i got my new smoked chrome LED taillights in the mail today, they go great with my FX4 stickers i think!








well then i headed out to the valley. wanted a drive and visit some friends. so i started out getting off at the old glenn highway and going out to kinik river. played out there for a bit and had alot of fun! ripped my front licn plate off too haha

this was on the old glenn, notice the sea level




then i got out on the silty sandy/rocky mess. had it in 4low and 2nd gear seemed to work well. it was very soft in a few spots. also had to make a 6" water crossing but did not stop because i was worried i'd sink.

Awsome man. I am so JEALOUS. Just to able to offroading like that. We have NOWHERE to go other than a couple state parks and the closet is an hour plus and its just a little trail riding. There is one place to go but its $25 per vehicle and the whole place is only 100 acres and it's an hour and a half away. Now if you want MUD, thats a different story.

Forgot to mention. I like the led tail lights.

i like the tails too...i think chrome wouldve went better because of the trimming/bumpers...but hey...it works...

i just could not bring myself to buy chrome tails...for some reason they do not sit well with me unless on white. i think they tie into the black accents (wheels, 5.4 and fx4 decals, mud flaps) decently well. may go with black headlights later on.

 

[GAINMOB]

i agree with you on that...it does tie in good

Lucky dog man! You live in a beautiful world. Taillights look great also.
