    Washington Folks!!! Trail Identification Help Needed

    Hello! I have spent hours on google maps looking for this trail. I have gone out and tried to find it too. I believe that is Mt. Adams in the background. The blog I found the photo on said they started in Carson, WA. I started on the same road they did. But I think they mislabeled the road...

    Also more plans to come. So since moving to WA the laws around my truck are much less restrictive than CA. Once I go back to CA I will be picking up an exhaust I already have for the truck and I will be getting a 4 barrel intake and carburetor. This will fix the terrible exhaust leak i have...

    Been a while and its been a crazy time! Since last posting I have moved states, hence the huge gap. The tank (truck) made the 1000 mile drive to my new home loaded down with furniture. I am still getting settled and have been working on the house. However, I have taken the truck out on some of...

    Making the 3 hour drive home from the mountains today could have gone smoother. It was going great until my driveshaft fell off. This got me thinking. What would I do i this happened on the trail? I think I would disconnect the driveshaft completely throw it in the bed then put the truck into...

    Finally an exciting (at least for me) UPDATE!!! My last tent rack was thrown together in an hour after being poorly measured so I could get on the road to Pismo. I always meant to go back and rebuild it mo betta. FINALLY I did. Waited for the hottest weather in a while then cut up the old one...

    Photography

    I'm a rookie photographer and recent overland rig owner. Here are a few photos I've taken on my various adventures and looking forward to sharing more as I take them! Astrophotography focus is so difficult! Especially when you want a subject that is closer.

    Ive decided that apart from giving all steering/suspension bushings and calipers a good once over, the next job is going to be building a new RTT rack and spending more than 30 minutes on it this time. It will be slightly raised so that when it is closed it will be even with the roof height...
