Finally got my bed rack actually anchored down. It's just been free-floating on the bed rails for about 1,000 miles. (BAD owner! No biscuit!!)

Finally got my new high clearance rear bumper painted and installed. It will be getting dual swing gates soon, but needed the bumper, and couldn't wait for the spindles to come in.

Purchased a plate steel rear bumper, and within 3 months, realized I should have bought the high clearance option. I had avoided that because I was nervous about chopping body panels on a new truck. Instead, I ended up doing it anyway, AND getting a high clearance bumper.
Lesson: don't ever...
Wheeler Lake is beautiful, but sketchy this time of year. Red Feather Lakes is a great area to explore, about 40 minutes Northwest of Fort Collins. PM me, and I'd be happy to meet up with you!

Coming down the mountain after a trail run with my Toyota club. Was enjoying the scenery instead of paying attention to terrain and speed. Hit a rather sketchy whoopdedoo, and all I could see was sky.
They guy in front of me claims I got almost 2 feet of air in the front... [emoji16]

Likewise. I only get 2 weeks off and already booked them to go do some patriot stuff in AZ this spring.
Someday, I will make it to Overland Expo...

My exhaust ends just after the cat because I smashed it on a rock and haven't had time to fix it.
Also, my steering wheel is crooked and traction control is inoperable ever since I accidentally got airborne a couple months ago... [emoji23]

Only thing I don't like about CZ is the slide not overlapping the frame. There's just not enough purchase on those slides for me to get my hamfists around them reliably.
I really appreciate their build quality, trigger, and ergonomics, but that internal slide just kills it for me. [emoji53]...
Tore apart the intake and throttle body. Cleaned out 3 years and 60K miles of gunk from filter, throttle body, tubing, and intake header. Reset the ECU and then ran some errands. Truck running like new again!
Nothing directly with my rig yet today, but I did repurpose an old Verizon Ellipsis 7" tablet for APRS/NAV use, and will be getting that set up before my next wheeling trip!
Cleared out all the old apps, pulled the sim card, and downloaded several ham radio and mapping apps.
Travel Plans...
Gonna fire off the year with 2 weeks in Canada (for work, unfortunately).
Road trip from Fort Collins, CO to Nogales, AZ in May (2,000 mile round trip!).
Moab for a week in the fall, probably October or so.
Build Plans...
High clearance rear bumper
3" mid-travel lift
On board...
