The engine was the part I didn't expect,.. some of the parts yeah I expected but some were a surprise for sure. Steph's hair looks great short and we raised a boat load of money for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation. Pics and totals to come soon.

Seems each year the budget gets ripped a bit more,.. hopefully soon we will get to maintenance mode over mod mode

I Will dig back into it in a few weeks, se how bad the mounts are,.. Guys on the PBB have talked about using the accessory bolts back to the mount if necessary,.. I just want to salvage the block as its a good mill
BTW here is some in cab footage

Hmmmmmmmm and you wonder why we are not all there beating the crap out of are jeeps. That's like 3 - 4 years worth of trail riding carnage in one weekend.
I'm not saying I would not enjoy it just does not make sence to me.

Well I have to be honest, when I started wheeling I was on 31's and my truck was always the smallest of the crew, so to keep up with the rest I ran hard, by the time I hit 33's they were still more advance than me, so carnage is nothing new, when I wheel I wheel hard. If I take the little jeep "tetnis" out I will be nicer. But blasphemy was built and will be rebuilt to go into areas it maybe should not be. The course is doable with little to no carnage at lower speeds and longer runs. Racing breaks parts be it wheeling, drags, bikes , mx , road course. That being said I had so much fun and we raised over 5k for breast cancer,... So to me it was totally worth it, and next year I will do it again.
Btw any other events comingup?
