I like those covers, are they for a certain model J%@P ?

[RikRong]

They're for '07+ Wranglers and the new Gladiator.

Yep, things are pretty good here.  The mini-people are growing so quickly, they'll be graduating high school before I know it.

 Tell me about it..........

Finally, got these things installed, after them sitting around for way too long, SS3 pods from Diode Dynamics. It was a super simple install, made that way thanks to great engineering of the aftermarket brackets.

Finally made it out on a real trip, for the first time after I moved back to North Dakota.  I met up with group of Nissan owners based around the Twin Cities area and headed up to the Iron Range area near Gilbert, MN.  It was awesome, but definitely a little different than wheeling in SoCal.

That same weekend in Gilbert, I put a huge slice in my already low tread BFGs.  I was hoping to wait a few more months to replace them, but that cut forced my hand.  Time for some meat....

Looks awesome Rik

Based on those pictures the wheeling certainly does seem to be a lot different. I'm sure a lot of fun though with lots of beautiful green scenery. Those tires look really nice, hopefully you will get a lot of miles out of them. Keep posting up as it's good to hear what you are up to!!

I was able to join up with the MN Nissan crew again this weekend and run around the Spider Lake OHV area in central MN.  The temps were a little above freezing, so it made the snow soft on the sides of the trail and icy in the grooves.  The conditions definitely made for a fun run, especially when trying to work with some of the less experienced guys in the group.  However, I wouldn't have changed one thing about the run.

Hey Home Slice! Great to see you getting out with some folks running trails. Looks absolutely beautiful there. It looks like we will most likely be rolling through your part of the world August/Sept time frame so hopefully we can at least get together for a lunch. It's good to see you happy and doing well!

Yeah, it's nice to have a group to get out with, even if it is a few hours away.  Let me know when you're up here and we'll definitely figure something out.

GOD THAT LOOKS LIKE FUN!!!!  I still need to find a group in my next of the woods.  I miss running trail with you guys.
