Here is a pic without the cap and with the light bar that I typically run in the warmer weather.
Here I am letting air out of the tires. Didn't thik I had to air down for what looked like a somewhat dried up creek bed off of Rt. 401 in Wake County, NC. This clay was worse than 1000 gallons of axle greese. Sure had a ball getting 'er out though - took some fancy clutch work... (the 35" Xterains are not shown in these pics. These pics are when I had Procomp AT 33's on the truck)
This is a shot at the rear (obviously). With 3 wheels pullin, I decided there and then, that this beast would not go off road again without a front locker and a winch! The 8K lb winch is now on the truck. The locker is awaiting financing!
