Gossamer- '87 FJ60 aka "The Red Monster"

[TRAIL TAILOR]

Love that fly!

Like that I can stretch it out if in a wooded area or adjust it to block sun and wind. I was surprised it held up to the winds this morning. I left it set up for about 4 hours, no issues.

INNO awning was finally set up. Wind was only blowing about 20mph this morning.

Happy Easter all.

Nice! Can you make some quick disconnects/reconnects to mount over the tailgate for camp cooking, unloading, etc. ?

Nice setup J. Looks like you're ready to take a cross-country trip. Since I love to piss-off the neighbors, our front lawn is at your disposal =)

Cam, yes.. I takes me about 5 minutes to mount that awning. I can easily move it to the rear or PS quickly.

My favorite thing... YARD CAMPING!!! If the neighbors get too upset, I'll just move to their yard.

HA!

Really Jason?...as if the sun ever gets intense enough in Wyoming.. When I was in Phx I had a Thermometer by the outdoor welding table.
I'd be welding in July and between the weld heat and sun it would get to 130~135 at the table. After you fry enough brain cells it doesn't bother you anymore

Looking good J.

The only thing your missing are some trail scars... I know Goss is begging to get in the rocks!

Keep up the good work man.

Oh YES!! and the hammock poles off the bumpers will keep me nice and comfy under the shade... Now I need to find a 12V mini PortaCool and I will have it made.. Well with the addition of the beer tap on the side of Goss that is plumbed into the fridge in the back. HEE HEE!

Been there several times - literally feels like you walked into a f'n oven. Inescapable heat - frequent reprieve found in the Salt River =) Techno dancing - or at least that's what I heard, hehe - at The Orb, dntown =)

They are simple Pete... Jockey Cooler with a 50/70' coil is the ticket... Can make this an all inclusive set up with a 65qt cooler and a 5# CO2 bottle... Pony will fit inside next to the coil and just add ice.. Run everything inside cooler and then remote locate the tap off the 1/4 panel, tailgate or ?? Just keep the line from the cooler to the tap as short as possible for colder instant serve..

Easy way to build them is to buy a refrigerator keg conversion kit, roll of 3/8" copper or SS tubing, fittings to connect the keg hoses to the 3/8" tube. Drill your supply line and tap line into the cooler, add keg, CO2, water, ice and rock salt... Ice cold beer all day long! Keg itself can be outside of the cooler box in the heat, no need to ice down the keg itself.

I like the pony/1/4 barrel inside the cooler, just cleaner and more compact.

Add the beer tap ice chest and this to your off road arsenal. You'll have fresh beer and Margaritas

I had a blender mounted in the back seat of my '01 welding truck.. Also a false bottom ice chest that would hold a 12 pack... Nothing like burning rod all day on the line and getting to the end of the ROW and popping open a cold one...

See this is how I feel after a long ride.... do 15+ miles of singletrack and you get back to the truck and all you want it something cold and frothy. Got home from a 17mile ride on Saturday and the wife was gone, buddy had Easter prep stuff to do so we didn't hang out. Wife called me (as she was out running errands) and said "What bar are you at?" When I said home she sounded very disappointed and thought we were for sure at one of the bars grabbing a beer after the ride. Well yeah normally we would have been but today it just wasn't in the cards. So she and I headed out and got one after!
