Decided to go to visit my buddy Mike Frisbee and had a burrito and checked all of his cruisers out.

Superior Grill for lunch.

Great mini vacation in prep for a big week starting new projects

I'm sure you've been asked before, but what's your go to method for finding all these little dives? Yelp?

Usually local intel

 

[cheeze]

nah, I'm positive you're getting tips from your cardiologist.

I realize it fluctuates probably, but what general psi range are you running on the LT Recons? Looking hard at these and deciding btwn P and LT. It sounds like you like the ride quality a lot which seems uncommon for a 126-E. Exciting to hear.

Killer thread dude. Love this stuff.

40 psi for the most part.

Towed all day yesterday.

The Whale eating this final day of 23

I’ve not been driving Whale much. Mainly using it for tow duties of late and running around my 80.

Had to move some customer trucks around so it’s back in duty

 

[wngrog]

It’s been way too long since the Whale was used for anything but a tow whore.

Loading up for a trip.

I decided this week I’m going to retire it from tow duties. I have 146,000 miles on it now. Time to stop that fast roll.

I picked up this little FZJ70 for daily driver duty. The whale is going to be the big road trip to wide trails rig from now on.

A deserved retirement!

What is next? Or have you gone all in with the 70 Series?

 

[wngrog]

800 miles down. Dodged some huge hail. Ate some brisket. The Hill Country was very green.

Morning.

Old Ore Road. East River Road and up Glenn Spring.

About to head up the mountain

We did 186 miles off road. Last night we camped on the Rio.

Back at Panther Junction now for gas. Taking pavement sight seeing now to Boquillas Canyon

Santa Elena Canyon. Tuff Canyon.

Back out to Loop Camp. Unreal night

State Park Day. Rough country.

Terlingua Ranch is the gateway to the Christmas Mountains. Highest drivable point in Texas. 4 vehicles max. Morning slot. Afternoon slot. Book it. Phenomenal.

How is the truck holding up? Rattles? Still tight/steering etc?
