Got out for a quick overnight trip...not much of real interest other than a nice view from the campsite. With the truck

Time for the next round...bumper (CBI Adventure aluminum), Warn VR Evo 10-S winch, Rigid SR-Series light bar, and CBI aluminum skids

Ditch lights and the infamous snorkel:

Was able to get out and explore some of the Enchanted Rockies Trail (segments 6-9) over the last weekend. Weather was questionable the first couple of days, and cleared up for the last evening before taking a spin through RMNP on my way home. First campsite on the way down to Great Sand Dunes...

The next day we were to begin course clean-up (picking up course markings and the like). I was driving (although initially I had offered to run/hike and sweep the course), and today required me to drop a runner off, and then drive over Ophir Pass to meet him before he set off on leg 2 of his...

OK, I know *useless without pics*, but I'll have pics at some point (and these mods are kind of least picture worthy, at least with wheels on). I got the Garmin Powerswitch for my *running* power switch (separate from *camper*). The wrong brackets came in for the ditch lights, but I have some...

I think that's probably an offshoot (but it looks like it's pretty close). I think that's actually called (based on some Gaia map hunting), "Rough and Tumbling Creek"...but I can see the South Fork South Platte River just a wee bit north of the crossing. Either way, I would generally say...

Got out for a couple nights on the Colorado BDR section 4. Decided to head home as I was getting into the I70 corridor as the 4th weekend got underway, and have an electrical problem I can't quite sort out. My battery and RedArc got out of sync somehow (battery % was all I thought initially)...

Oh and a comment from a discussion with a friend today that I should mention. On post #35, the second picture is a rather narrow trail. I now have some nice lines on the vinyl where the branches ran down the side of the truck (more than a few, that trail was kind of the width of a reasonable...

It is pretty out there, was trying to post another pic or two before...but got busy. Just starting a trail outside of BV...the flat: Ran across a couple guys that were *almost* stuck, made sure they got out, and followed them up to a decent camping area, a nice evening, and a relaxing morning...

So, planned on doing a section of the Colorado BDR this weekend (today actually), but knew I wanted to play around a bit yesterday and then just find a nice campsite and relax. So, headed to Buena Vista, and then headed out of town west for a bit to see what I could find (technically this is...

Sawatch now has a new insert, all smoothed out, MTM hooked up (glued in), and wired for business. It's pretty *neat* (although a bit useless as this was just done for aesthetics). You can select any color on a color wheel (so not just like 5-10 color choices) when you have it in *solid* mode...

Quick update on the insert. The owner of DBCustomz gave me a call and we talked through things. There are multiple options that Toyota uses for their front-facing cameras, and I have a different one than he thought..meaning I wasn't crazy, this doesn't fit. He wanted me to send it back to...

Thanks, it has come a long way. Really though, you're craftsmanship and work on your truck makes me wish I wasn't in a place that made it so hard to do the work myself (but I still say the woodworking you do is FAR beyond my capabilities, regardless of tools and space).

Thanks...the project I knew I could knock out this evening...it hit a few snags. Was just doing a grill insert swap, but...I have a minor fitment issue (think I can resolve this, but have to take it back off again...which means at LEAST 4 more elevator rides), there's an issue with how the MTM...

Wait, you're on an overlanding site and you claim you like the look of a stock <anything>!?!?!?!!? You are in the wrong place! But really, I pretty much agree with you, especially in the earlier generations (3rd is kind of mid-generation...anyway, yours!). It is tough to maintain that stock...

Was loading some stuff into the truck at lunch, and snapped a couple shots of some other goodies in the back...goose gear came in, got rid of the alu-cab bag that was up front for molle panels, molle on the door, and a magic hot water box as well.

Love the build...while I'm a Taco guy, I've really found the Ranger interesting, so enjoy seeing how people build them and looking to learn more about the longer term experiences. I think your ground tent is a great solution given your requirements and downsizing approach. And I LOVE the...

MaxTrax mounted with the GP Factor system.

Finally got in a roof rack that fits with the canopy camper (with the table option on the alu-cab, it greatly reduces the options for roof racks that fit). Also bought a couple used alu-boxes to bolt on up there. They look uneven in this picture, enough so that I'm going to go down a look when...
