Took the truck out this weekend to Anza Borrego state park to do some exploring. The truck worked great with the flippac, definitely needs more valving in the rear shocks though.
First camp
Camped near Truckhaven, then took dirt to 17palms.
Having some fun along the way.

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.

Tires are freaking expensive dude. I just put tires on my truck and l said and done I spent $1600 at America's tire for 4 Cooper stt pros in 315/70/17 so I don't blame you for waiting on them haha..

What Carli suspension are you running?
I'm wishing/saving/hoping for the pin-top but might go with the Backcountry for the time being.

I have the pin top 2.5 system, it works very well. I talked to carli they are making 3.0 pintops sometime in 2017 but i didn't want to wait. Ill upgrade later.

How long have you had the coopers? Would like to hear how you like them after a few months. What load range did you go with?

I've had the coppers since May of 2015. I have roughly 11k miles on them and they still look close to new. They are a little noisy but between the noise of the Cummins and the volume on my radio it doesn't concern me. So far I am happy with my purchase. I originally wanted to go with 35" toyo mt but America's tire would not mount a 12.5" wide tire on my 7.5" rims so I settled on the 315/70/17 coppers and so far I'm happy.

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 to the desert bar.
Desert bar food was epic, this bar is rad, its off the grid.
On the trail up to Roveys Needle.
Overlooking the Colorado river.
Wild burros in Oatman.
Hotel/bar in Oatman, overall a great trip! Already looking forward to KOH/ Primm.

If I was to do it again, I would wait and save for the ones you truly want. The price of the shocks is a good portion of the price of the whole kit. Unless you think you can find a buyer for the takeoffs willing to pay premium for the Carli tuned shocks.
