With friends on the Owyhee River in Eastern Oregon.

With everything mounted and the new grill installed. Got the AEM cold air intake installed. The "pantyhose" air filter cover is a habit that I still have from riding dirt bikes in the desert.

Here's some pics of the winch mount from underneath and where I relocated to the controller plug to for easy access.

So here's where it sits as of tonight. The front suspension is pulled apart. The de-icer created some corrosion and rust issues, making it a b!+(h to get apart. Yea, that stuff is perfectly safe for our vehicles! I ruined the end of the axle using a 3lb hammer to get it out of the hub.

Here's the front bumper, light bar and winch installed. I will get some picks of the hidden winch from underneath and post. Before and after of the front bumper. I pulled the airdam and rounded the corner of the replacement bumper to better match the shape of the wheel well. also opened up...

Clean and painting in rear. I did the panel behind the bumper in spray bedliner. Now to get the dual exhaust done. Notice the OB badge.

Long day of thrashing on the pickup. Thanks to my buddy Mike for the help. Here's the starting point yesterday afternoon. They use magnesium chloride in Oregon as a de-icer on the roads and the "experts" at ODOT mix it way too heavy. The stuff is like syrup and sticks to everything. The slime...

We are in. Ironically, I just ordered the route 4 map and was planning it for that weekend. What day are you planning to start?

Putting it out there for an overnighter to Glass Butte in Central Oregon, 77 miles east of Bend. Looking at April 21-22, weather permitting. I have yet to go there but it looks pretty cool. Check it out on the internet. You can collect obsidian (legally) and there is dry camping with porta...

Welcome from another newbie to the forum in Central Oregon

Here's the light bar and front bumper during fab/mockup with the winch mount and tow hooks in place. The bumper started as a painted replacement with foglight holes off of E-bay. I rounded the corners, reinforced it, opened up the lower slot in the front for the winch and adapted my home made...

Here's what sort of kick started the whole thing- a .45 richocet will practicing at the range. And one of the new rear bumper.

I couldn't find a hidden winch mount that I liked and happened to have the old winch tray from my wife's jeep, so I built my own using ideas that I had found on the internet. It uses the tow hook bolts for mounting and will sit completely behind the bumper including the fairlead roller, kind of...

Fairly new to the forum but not to off roading and the outdoors in general. After 110,000 miles of camping, hunting, fishing and daily commuting, it's time to retire my faithful 2012 Ram 1500 to weekend adventure duty and give it some upgrades/facelift. I have been collecting parts for a while...

New to the forum. Been 4 wheeling and "overlanding" since I was skinny and had more hair (a long time). We are located in Central Oregon and spend a good amount of time in the woods or on the river fly fishing. My ride is a 2012 Ram 1500 and my wife has a '93 YJ. We use both to tow our...
