Default Black Hills South Dakota Run 2015 - July 10 - 15

I'm just getting some planning going for the Black Hills run this year. I have the dates at this point and I'm going to start working on lodging. Let me know if you're interested/able to go so I can keep a running list.

Friday 7/10 - drive out
Saturday 7/11 - Wheel
Sunday 7/12 - Wheel
Monday 7/13 - Wheel
Tuesday 7/14 - Wheel / pack
Wednesday 7/15 - drive home

Here are links to a couple of the past couple runs and there is some good info in there if you want to poke around.

Nice! You going with LS3? Assuming your doing an LS when you say MoTech kit. I was was working with Robbie too and was going to go with the L92 6.2 but ended up going with a 5.7 Hemi. Lot to get done by July. Took me pretty much all last summer. But did all work my self on side to took a lot longer. Good luck!

I am going with the LS. I really wanted the L92 but could not find one for a good enough price to justify it. So I ended up going LC9. I guess it gives me one last thing to do when I can find a steal on a 6.2. Ya I am doing double throw down and a PR60/PR80 and jumping up to 40's. The shop is telling me not a problem getting it ready to go by my timeframe but we will see.

All mounted up and ready.

That is awesome that you did he swap. How do you like it? I remember way back you were also trying to figure out a hood swap. Did hat ever work out? And are you going to be able to make it back to the hills this year?

That's awesome. Excited to see how it turns out. That was my deal too. I couldn't find a decent deal on a L92 so went the cheaper route to hemi. Works great. Was pretty much plug and play. Nice thing is with it all mopar the canbus system doesn't know any different and everything works as it should. Gauges, cruise, keyless, remote start etc. performs great. Been a while since I could set cruise a 82 and comfortably roll down the interstate on 37s. And prioritys got in the way of a hood build. Still on the list tho.
And we are trying to make this trip work. Very busy summer so if we come it'll probly just be for first few days. Still up in the air at this point

That's a top of the line build for sure. Can wait to see it in action. Make sure you have them tune your coilover/bypass/bump stop setup. That seems to be the key to a happy wheeler.

That looks very nice setting in there. What are you running for gears with those 37's?
