Joanna did take some great pictures, thanks for that and helping me document the Milk Trucks first real wheeling trip.
Thanks to Ali for organizing and leading. Thanks to Steve for leading us to our camp spot above Castle Valley. The views were great!
I was impressed by Ron’s ability to...
Ron, does you camper pop strait up or flip forward. Looks good!
I built some fuel can carriers for my truck just before the trip. By built I ordered some surplus Jerry can mounts and modified them to fit my setup.
Thanks for the nice comments on the rack. I got it all together in time to make the trip to Moab. I drove it there and back without any issues. It will handle 80 on the Highway just fine although it sounds like I am driving through a hurricane. It has all new seals and I made some teaks...
Yeah it looks like they have their line running back behind the typical recovery point location. I wonder if they would have been better off trying to jack the front of the truck up and winch / pull that boulder out from under the truck then try to pull it back up ledge. I wonder how they...
If anyone going on the trip happens to be picking up any supplies and is willing to grab one or two of this type of fuel bottle I would appreciate it. Need to fit my jet boil. If not I hopefully find it on the way.
None where in Los Alamos or Jemez sells them that I could find.
I finished building the cargo system this weekend and after painting it, it is reinstalled.
The basket I built to fit my tent cot which I will be trying out for the first time soon. The slider tray fits a cooler and gear box. The fuel can carriers will fit up to 5 gallon cans, the rest...
I finished building my cargo system this weekend and after paint it is reinstalled. I took it out for a short drive to see if there was any new rattles. All seems good. Now I just need to see if all the junk I think I need will fit.
I built the basket to fit my tent cot which I will be...
In addition to the cargo basket I built a slider tray to carry a cooler and gear box. I didn’t get a bunch of progress pictures but after toying with a number of ideas I ordered some custom bent c-channel that runs the length of the cargo box. The full length allows me to bolt them on using...
I wasn’t a fan of the HMF logo cut into the rack which got me thinking it would be cooler if I had my own brand of sorts. After playing with some ideas I came up with a TEQ inspired version of TMT (The Milk Truck).
I reached out to @bluehawk who was kind enough to cut me some plates with this...
I have been grinding pretty hard literally and mentally to build a cargo system for the The Milk Truck. I decided I didn’t really like the rack I built and it turned out I don’t think I need a rack like that at this time, so I pulled it off.
I opted instead to build a cargo basket that would...
It, seems to be melting off today but it is a muddy mess right now. None of the forest roads are open yet, so there isn’t much OffRoad available near me at least.
