    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    I decided that instead of doing the monstaliner to my camper shell, I would hold off just a little bit longer. I thought it would be better if my solar panel mounting brackets were the same color. So today was the day I decided I would figure out how to mount my panels. When I got to the...

    Camping Whisk(e)y?

    I had to try it just because it said Boone & Crockett club. Pretty damn good straight. Makes an excellent highball as well.

    My 05 Cummins original build plus some new stuff

    I got the inside of my bed lined today. Then I got the lights and bumper installed. Tomorrow I should be able to finish sanding the camper and get it lined as well.

    07 Ram 2500 Overland Pig Build

    Bad ass. Mine still has to pull trailers every once in a while. And the all steel camper shell I have weighs about 500 lbs. loaded for a fishing trip I might have 1000 lbs of gear. And I’ll bet a couple hundred pounds more for a hunting trip. And rarely do I camp without a trailer. Either my old...

    07 Ram 2500 Overland Pig Build

    I’m sure it made a world of difference. Are you running the standard springs or the hd springs? I am pretty sure I will be buying the hd springs, and hope they ride better than stock without the 1500 pounds in the bed at all times.

    07 Ram 2500 Overland Pig Build

    I am loving the full size dodge builds. I’ve got an 05 2500 with the 5.9 and a six speed. That 07 is a nice looking truck. Looks super clean. I am really curious about the hd Carli springs. I’ve got their sway bar and and hopefully going to continue piecing together one of their systems. So far...

    My 05 Cummins original build plus some new stuff

    It was a huge struggle trying to find the right spot. I thought about a bed box system like decked, but home made. I just couldn’t make myself like the idea of something permanently taking up space in my truck bed. When I gave my stock spare tire away I had new found space. The box hangs no...

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    Tell your brother to take a look at monstaliner. The stuff is amazing and will help with the rust prevention. I just did my whole truck in it. I like the way it turned out. Will be doing my old bronco and cj7 as well.

    Legal Weapons and Overlanding

    It is a browning sa-22. It’s a little tack driver. Absolutely love it.

    Overlanding problems

    I have had lug nuts come loose on 2 vehicles. First one was a Ford ranger on the freeway. The second was my dodge on a real bad winter wheeling trip. Just too bad that loose lug nuts wasn’t the only thing I had happen that trip. Ended up losing the steering box and bending a tie rod that day...

    Moab Utah

    Looks like an awesome trip. I’d love to spend some time in Moab. That scenery is amazing. Extra bad ass to see a full-size diesel out there wheelin that country.

    2WD vs 4WD

    I am generally on board with use whatever you have for your overlanding needs. But there are places when 2 wheel drive and less modified 4 wheel drives need to know the limit and say let’s turn around. I have been involved in recovering 2 wheel drive vehicles miles beyond where they should have...

    The Beginning is the End is the Beginning (The continuing journey of the “Adventure Machine”)

    The good thing is that borg Warner t-case is fairly simple to remove and split. I had to do the exact same thing on my 88. Mine was just a stuck shift selector and once freed up worked great. I didn’t have to put any money into mine except the rtv to reseal the case.

    97 Chevy Suburban- The Adventure Rig

    I like the burb. Wheels and tires give it a whole new attitude. That and I still like the vortec 350 engine.

    Oh yeah. Forgot the nerf bar pictures.

    My 05 Cummins original build plus some new stuff

    The cab is completely reassembled. I just finished bolting my nerf bars back on. I’ve got about 2 hours until helping hands show up to put the bed back on. Couldn’t help myself. I had to back it out of the shop and check the color in the sunlight. The color turned out exactly what I wanted it...

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    Got my bronco running for the first time in a long time. Parked it a while back because it is losing oil pressure. The wife changed my mind for me because she wants to drive it. So until this fall when the 12 valve swap starts, she can drive it until it’s internals are on the ground. New battery...

    Legal Weapons and Overlanding

    I like having this little guy in the truck with me. It now wears a 3x9 scope. Being a takedown it requires very little space. 500 rounds in a crown royal bag takes up no room at all. And I have fed the wife and myself many a delicious cotton tail dinner with it.
