GREAT WHITE BUFFALO (2016 Carli Cummins build)

[JESSE A]

After 17 palms we took dirt to Fonts Point. But after backtracking about 10 miles because my buddies tailgate opened and he lost his tent, but we found it!

After Fonts Point we took mostly dirt with some Hwy past Borrego Springs and eventually to Slot Canyon. This was the beginning.

Pretty amazing place.
After having a lunch break we took more dirt over to Fish creek to checkout the wind caves.

Along the way.

We made it!

We camped near the abandoned rail road tracks south of Fish Creek. Nice tiny dune area, then followed the tracks southish towards Ocotillo.

Running the trucks is a fun road for the truck maintained about 40-50 mph. Definitely some but whoops can't wait to revalve the rear shocks.
The we went to Dolomite Mine.

After Dolomite Mine we hit the Mud Caves, definitely the highlight of the trip.

Adventure dog went through all the caves, even the extremely tight ones, people were shocked he was right there just crusin along!

Horrible picture but it gives you an idea of how tight some of the offshoots were. So dark you couldn't even see your hand in front of your face. Then we aired up, took about 30 minutes im the only one with a compressor, took Hwy to Julian had some dinner hit the road home. Great trip with almost zero issues can't wait to get out there again.

Got my dual 450c compressors mounted up. Fabricated the bracket, and they mount to the frame up high behind the rear tire.

On the trail up to Roveys Needle.

Overlooking the Colorado river.

Nope its a 2.5 pintop, the shocks bolt in to factory locations. It works really well, new Springs all around, king 2.5s, front tracbar and a few other things. Im slowly getting to that haha

I also have the Pintop 2.5 on my '04.5 Ram. I added the control arms and torsion swaybar. The ride is soooo much different, and better. I've decided to do the full rear spring pack and long travel airbags soon. Ramsey is still a little stiff with a light load.

Well at the end of last trip i got a sidewall flat, and decided i didn't want to buy another stock tire because i wanted larger ones anyways. Got a great deal on some 35x12.50x18 general x3s.

Look great they are a little louder than i thought but not too bad.

Very cool thread, Jesse! Digging the photos. I have an almost identical truck to yours, but mine is a 2011 Power Wagon. I was looking through and saw that blue Power Wagon and thought... wait I know that guy. Hey that is Eddie!

Enjoy those Kings man. I put 3.0's up front and 2.5 bypasses out back, this thing can rock and roll now! Nice sliders as well, those also look familiar

Are your compressors behind your rear tires?

Yes both are behind the drivers rear tire. They are mounted quite high with a plate under them, and the plastic wheel well in front of them. Hopefully they hold up also viair says they are 100% sealed.
