Awesome... Yeah we are lacking in snow here as well. My SIL was in your area recently visiting her parents, she grew up in Havre.
What a great write up! I joined mud as I am preparing to buy a 100 in a couple months and wanted to develop a solid plan for a truck that is adaptable to various terrain and situations.
you have provided an excellent blueprint! I read the whole thread in a couple days!

What mountain range is in the background in pic #2, Drew ?

The Blacktails irrc, just outside of Dillion. It could be the Snowcrests... but I think that pic is looking south-ish over the town of Dillion.

Over the winter I made some new awning brackets to raise it up about 3 inches... I made the first set to fit in the garage but I decided I'd rather be able to walk around under the awning without ducking my head so I made up some new ones. I prefer the higher brackets by a Looooooong shot.
I even painted them!
the height seems perfect.

Nicely done! Looking forward to that with Alita though she is giving me headaches right now. Question, how large is your lift? Thinking 2.5" to fit the 35s on the Tundra 18s like that?

Yes, 2.5" OME up front and 864 coils in the rear.

Picked up this little gem in hopes of getting the Mrs. REZARF to come with me on a few more adventures in Grizzly country. It’s a placebo... but I’d it works then I’ll take it!

spent an hour the other day buffing the fiberglass gel coat. I’m a geek for how things look.

Nice buy!
I plan on getting a hard shell RTT in the future when my kids are old enough to be in their own tent. I've had a standard soft RTT in the past, and these hard tops are by far and away faster and more convenient. Be very cool to see it on your rig.
Oddball question: How tall is your garage door and does your Cruiser fit in it?

Standard garage door, and yes the 100 fits with about 1/2" to spare. I had to take 2" off the Hi-Lift to get it to fit.
It will in NO way fit with the RTT. I am building a rack system to integrate with the Gamaviti mounts so I can remove the tent with (relative) ease. Maybe remove it for winter and put it on in the spring. I also use my roof rack a ton so I may switch back, time will tell.
Good to know! I just had an offer accepted on a house with a separate 2-car garage that I'll convert to a shop, and it's got a standard door, so if yours fits mine definitely will with less lift, smaller tires, and roof bars.

Thanks! It's been a battle finding a house out here. The Billings market went berserk just about the same time we started hunting. Our timing is not great haha

Hah man I feel your pain! Just closed on a house this afternoon after 5+ months of looking and having to get preapproved twice
Congrats! We got lucky and scored this place after only two months of hunting. Billings, MT is the hottest market in the country right now according to WSJ, so we lucked out. I know a few stories from people putting in 15+ offers and having them rejected.
Sorry for the thread jack @REZARF
