Default Pics of Truck from Today

Here's a few pics of the truck from today. We've had quite the drought this year (and last), so the lake level is low and very few ramps are open (1 location with 2 lanes), so it will be super crowded this weekend, so I went looking for another place to launch the boat where there isn't a real ramp, but I can still get in the water.

Entrance to the "park" I found:



Driving around:



Spot where I hope to put in:



I tried to make it up a little hill and then a ledge, but didn't make it. If I had 4wd I probably could have crawled over and had I had more clearance, I could have powered over with more speed:



Sounds like I'll be keeping the offroading to the Hummer (which can totally dominate everything in this park.

Driving through some campgrounds:



And the entrance to the campgrounds:

I am afraid to off-road mine. I don't want it to get stuck since it is so big and heavy!

The Zeons look really good on those Laramie rims. Seems to fill the wheel well up a bit better than the stockers.

For the price they seem to be very solid tires. Great on road and really dig in off road. When the Hummer needs new tires I'll definitely pick up a pair of these.

I'm sure the TRX4 is more than capable. Had I had the traction and a little more clearance I would have been very confident in the Ram. But, the H3 still dominates offroad (unless it's up against something highly modified).
