Ended up going camping solo just me. Got to Sand Flats at about 8pm and decided to turn left and go to Strawberry rather than go to Red Lake.
Glad I picked Strawberry. No one was there, and the closest I got to anyone for almost 2 days was a fighter jet that buzzed me.

Packed up camp and was going to do one night at Red Lake and then come home. But holy hell, there were at least 50 rigs in there and it was absolutely packed. Was super happy I made it to Red with no lockers and 33s, but no thanks.
Headed out and looked for a good spot to have lunch. The Toyota blocking the trail that sheared off the steering arm studs in the knuckle picked the lunch spot.
Lunch was vacuum sealed smoked pork roast and a chicken thigh with a side of amazing home made mashed potatoes. Just toss the bags in simmering water for a bit and it all tastes like you just cooked it.

Really doing more goofing off than building at this point 
Made another trip to Strawberry Labor Day. My burner unfriended me so I had to do all my cooking on a backpacking style stove I cut from reclaimed Hobart stainless kitchen equipment. Now its just Hoart

There is a thread to post your camp setups, this might be worth cross sharing there!

Recently added Spydertrax 1.25 spacers, Warn steering box guard, JKS lower control arm skids, a non DOT Hella H4 headlight conversion, and HP stickers to the fridge for a little extra help getting up the grade to Shaver

I like those wheels.
Thank you. I really wanted these for the sort of classic slotted mag look. Was bummed the MTs were discontinued.
So happy to have found a nice used set of five with really good 33s.

I think you’ve gone over the edge. You’re hooked. When are you getting lockers and re-gearing?
Great pics of Strawberry Lake area.
OP
Not yet I haven't 
After my last trip I was really wanting 35s. But I settled for keeping the 33s, gaining some clearance with a UCF tcase skid, and armor.
Really happy with the 3.73s and 33s so no re gear. But I will super 35 the rear with an automatic locker at some point. That's the only real want left

Was outside looking at my UCF skid a bit ago. The thought of chasing drive line vibes and goofing off with the garbage stock tcase linkage was off-putting.
So I just ordered an AA SYE and Savvy cable shifter
When does it stop

Never. It just slows down a bit after about $10k and 35's!
