Whoops myself.. Nothing special, just a little Barnett 26lb compound for the kids to play with. I ain't a hunter or anything, but i been thinking of picking up something for myself to play with.

Just a BB Gun. Kids shot the hell out of some cans.

Since you all love going out shooting, so did we. 🤪 Took advantage of the unreasonably warm weather and did the Transalta Trail, only open Dec1 to March 31. We were the only people camped out in this whole valley. 3 years ago at the same time, this was all snow.

Generally, the winch negative goes straight to the battery because otherwise you are relying on the factory battery - to chassis lead, which in almost ALL cases, will be much too small for the winch current.

After staring at the stupid naked corner of the truck with tape over the holes and stepping over the still muddy flare sitting on the floor of my garage for the past 1 1/2 years, I finally got off my ass and tried fixing it. $20 for some epoxy and bolts, some scrap plastic cut to size and...

Go for it. Make sure to share pictures. I had mine cut same as stock from abs plastic, then recovered with the factory fabric and fittings. Works well, but I really like the looks of these aluminum ones, especially with the molle slots. I think $750 for a set is very fair.

No, its the Yakima version. Bought it used for cheap, works well so far.

Took it camping to Baseline Mountain. Going to work after these weekends is so ****ing depressing.

I've got an auxiliary cooler, it's pretty small ish so I like the idea of having both in use. I didn't take many photos of this project, but here's one that shows stuff. And my valve measurements. And I hit 179179 today. Wasn't trying to catch it or anything, just looked down and...

A leak developed at the water pump. Turns out it's a bit of a bitch to get to so I started researching and collecting some parts for "while i was in there". Getting the pump off means alternator and timing belt and head cover have to come off and needing to drain all the Coolant yet again, I...

Finally put in one of the new Webasto ThermoTop Evos.

Well, finally got my s*** together and installed the Webasto. Waited until AFTER our -40 cold snap naturally, but whatever. Took out my relay box holder thing. Cut up the relay plate and made new mounts for it where the old 24v switchover relay was living. Built a plate with mounting...

If we're still doing this, I'm 5'10"/180lbs. Everything fits me perfectly. I'm the default size.

I had to go to a place downtown, and normally hate parking, but found a cool spot in a mostly empty lot.

Not related to the truck, but another fine day for unexpectedly spending money. Went out to the van to go to work and found that some dirtbag cocksucker drilled a hole in my tank to steal gas. Got a brass plug with some ptfe sealant into it and that's holding for now, but not a long term fix...
