I might be wrong but a lot of your pics look to be off trail on the tundra. If I am wrong, sorry, but if not please stay on the trail and don't drive on virgin tundra

No worries at all Christo. I am pulled off in designated camp spots in the pictures, except for one where i pulled off trail to let a bunch of jeeps pass me with little or no room on trail. I am not trail braiding or aimlessly wandering off trail

Awesome pictures!!!

thanks!

There are two bolts holding down the OBD plug. If you remove those you can then rotate it out of the way to hide the Bluetooth Scanner behind the dash. It will look much cleaner.

Bluetooth OBD II scanner.

And don't even THINK about driving around a "road closed" sign. It'll be a blood bath

I was debating doing that. Are there any downsides? It doesnt seem to turn "OFF", does it draw much power or is that not a worry? I also i don't think ill be using it all the time, so far ive just been unplugging it when not in use.

finally got to summit Mosquito Pass yesterday. The highest pass in Colorado.

today i decided to have a little fun and finish my stock front bumper mod. If youre wondering whats the point? the answer is none. I just wanted to use my bender . I figured down the road if i decide i want to build a bumper i can just cut it off and re-use it. It is in fact 1.75x.120" DOM.

finally blacked out the back emblem. No more gold and drilled my new shot ski....very necessary living here 250cm jump ski with 6 shots
Did you have to take the emblem off to black it out or how do you do it?

I actually slid some index cards behind it where I could, then taped the rest.

Argentine is technically a mountain pass but you can't drive over it. so mosquito is in fact the highest PASSABLE mountain pass in colorado.

Where is Argentine?

Its outside of georgetown off I70 but it is an out and back trail.

want camping/wheelin this weekend and the truck got a little beaten up but is fine.

popped the plastic wing off on a rock for the millionth time. I have a solution in mind for this that hopefully i can get to this week....

I always hit the exhaust, just caught more of it and the bumper this time steel bumper is looking more and more necessary.

pinstriped nicely

somehow lost the bushing and nut off one of the front shocks i guess these trucks arent rock racers. woke up this morning to run the trail out and all i could hear was loud banging from the front pass side....

finally putting the sliders to good use and quite glad i have the cat skids
