Here she is in all her glory. The slide cost me $90 between the angle aluminum, hardware, and heavy duty 250lb slides from amazon. I wanted a really small fridge slide footprint so this turned out perfect.
Well thanks to a decent tax return I picked up an IndelB 41A from Equipt1 and am fabbing up a fridge slide this week and pulled the trigger on an ARB OME lift. Should have some good updates to this thread in the next few weeks. Was also stoked to get signed on as a Rago Fabrication brand rep, so...
Had a rainy day and a buddy with a table saw so I was able to knock a chuck box off my winter to-do list. Looking forward to folding down the tailgate and having easy access to everything versus digging around in a Tupperware that usually has stuff piled on top of it.
We just had a baby girl, who I can't wait to take camping (trips already planned to the Redwoods and Klamath NF in 3 weeks), but for the next 3 weeks I'm home and off work. So in between diaper changes and passing out on my face from exhaustion intermittently, I get to play with the truck...
Thanks! Shamelessly stalked your profile to check out your rig and noticed you were moving to central OR. Hit me up if you every end up on a trip to the coast. We've been doing a lot of exploring out here and found some great spots. We'll be looking to get out into the Umpqua and Williamette NF...
Installed a CB yesterday. Turns out it's pretty critical for safety on the logging roads here.
Picked up the following:
CBI Offroad Fab Ditch Light Brackets
Uniden CMX760 CB Radio
2' Firestik Antenna
Firestik Spring
Firestick Stud K4R (longer bolt for Fire Ring install)
18' Firestik Fire Ring...
There's some great camping right around Coos Bay on BLM land either in the woods or on the water, or the Elliot State Forest. Let me know if you plan on stopping anywhere near Coos Bay, I can can PM you the coords of the good spots. We're in Coos Bay and planning a trip on ORBDR Route 6, then...
Learned a lot on this trip about what it takes to do a 2 week overland trip. There were 2 nights where we were either too exhausted or the weather was terrible we decided to just get a motel. It originally felt disappointing, like we were cheating, but we learned that it was part of the...
Loaded her to the gills and headed west. Made a last minute purchase of a Samsung Tab A and a 128GB sd card. The tablet was reasonably priced and with the expandable storage I was able to download Gaia maps for the entire cross country drive. Topo, sat, MVUM, hiking, Canadian backroads, etc. The...
So I’ve been a real dirt bag about updating this but now after we’ve made it cross county and are getting our feet on the ground in Oregon I’ll fire it back up.
Here’s the truck with roof rack load out. Grabbed a Plano case for upfront for easy access camping equipment.
Took the advice of...
Got the interior cap lighting done today which officially marks the end of about 30 hours of wiring. The LED strip lights are from SuperBright LEDs and they are awesome. They are stick on but the adhesive is serious. Mounted up the Baja Designs dome light as a tailgate work light for cooking. It...
The cap is on! I went right to work and put the Prinsu rack on. I assembled it before hand and left all the hardware loose while mounting the rest of the lights. Putting it together took some work, but actually putting it on the cap was a 15 minute job. Ten times easier than the rack on the cab...
Thirty days until my wife, dog, and I move from Maryland to Oregon. We took all the hotel/gas stipends from work and threw them into a great setup to use every weekend once we get out West. Its going to get a 14 day trial by fire to start with. My college room mate is going to help me out the...
So my boss let me telework today to get ready for our move and it went surprisingly smoothly so I had some time to work on the truck. The jerry can and water holders line up perfectly on the Prinsu rack. Hopefully it's not some cardinal sin to mix BajaRack gear with a Prinsu rack. I shed the...
Unfortunately I don’t. I just bought 12in wide poplar board and measured the opening of the can. I think the can is around 11in wide so a bit has to be ripped off. Other than that I measured the diameter of my favorite bottles and picked the appropriate hole saw diameter and just spaced them...
