    "Travels With Charlie" 1996 F250 Service Bed Build

    I am not able to find the rear bumper build pictures, but I also fabricated a rear bumper. Shortly after getting the truck this far, I stopped racing and Charlie became a wheel buro. Used for runs to the home improvement store. This is where I stopped giving the truck much love, moved to Reno...

    "Travels With Charlie" 1996 F250 Service Bed Build

    Charlie has not looked like this for at least 8 years. Let me catch you up to its current condition. I liked the TTB Dana 50 front end on the truck, but I did not like the lift kits available for this model truck. Wanting bigger tires, I had to compromise, so I decided to invest in new fenders...

    "Travels With Charlie" 1996 F250 Service Bed Build

    I have always liked unique purpose-built vehicles. Is necessity the mother of invention? Imagination, or foolishness? You can decide, but please understand the journey is more valuable than the destination for me. When this is finished, if it does not perform in the backcountry, it will...

    Tepui Autana Ruggedized RTT

    REI Reno, reports they only sell the standard Autana 3 person and can't order the Ruggedized version. The clerk did give it high marks for quality. Considered buying the standard as the 20% discount brings the cost down in the $1500 range including shipping, but we decided that we were...

    Thank you, Kent the meet up why I actually signed up for this community. While I have been watching the youtube channel and IG for a while, my local mechanic mentioned the event and I thought it might be time to stop being such an introvert.

    Tepui Autana Ruggedized RTT

    I am looking at the same model and also searching for the best place to purchase. I met John Griffith from Tepui at a local show and he suggested REI for a local purchase. I also received the 20% coupon and was planning on trying to see what they could do since the Ruggedized version looks like...

    It seems like a lifetime ago, that I logged onto my first forum and made an introduction post. I still find it a little uncomfortable introducing myself in this medium and often wonder how to share enough info about myself to be valuable, without appearing a self-absorbed narcissist. I was never...
