Spotted you once from the pavilion as you were headed out. (Also spotted a bear while I was out Saturday.) You obviously stayed on the move. Hated that I didn't get to say hello. Maybe next time.

Beautiful morning on the Sacramento.

I'm bummed it’s Monday. So here’s a pic.
So a friend has one of those cricut devices that cut film/paper. She made us this card.
It’s Friday! And it’s Independence Weekend! So here’s a pic:
Great job guys. Been off the grid here for a while. Family all vaccinated and ready to travel again.
Recent.
That's a long way from Cincy!
Quick play at Great Salt Lake Desert in Wendover, Utah with my family.

An old photo, but it's in my screen saver rotation, so I thought I would share it (perhaps again?)

Why they're called the Smokies
Today marks 15 years of mud, rocks, panic, adventure and plenty of smiles per gallon.
Nice! Silver is also the color of mine!July 24th 2006, the day I brought it home.
I had it built to order, and it was a long three month wait.
It evolved at a very past pace, and mods were redone later, as I do not have the setup on in the pic below anymore.
Axe/shovel were later moved to the rear of the stock rack via Four Treks mounts.
Stereo upgrades, DVD navigation, Sirius satellite radio, Focal speakers in the door, dash, and rear, and an Alpine four channel amp to drive them to very loud levels.
Duel 12v outlets in the rear above the stock 110v outlet, and a BlueSea aux. fusebox in the footwell.
Total Chaos upper control arms.
Also OME heavy duty springs up front, medium one back aft.
Dual battery setup with a Painless Wiring kit.
Springtail M-Packs that use military molle straps/bags.
Had to take off the Four Treks rear dual mount for the shovel and axe, moved the Hi-Lift to the ARB bumper via Four Treks mounts, and went with a Hi-Lift Handle-All shovel,axe, pic, and sledge that is in the cab behind the drivers seat.
Oh yeah, had to take off the rear Four Treks mounts to make way for my new penthouse. (AutoHome Maggiolina AirLand medium)
Custom rear cargobox that was designed for my old rig, a '91 4Runner.
Fits the FJ pretty good.
Also a Powertank, and two fire extinguishers.
One by the Powertank will not harm your wiring, as the agent is like Halon.
The cheap fire extinguisher to the far right is for outside fires not related to the rig.
It will ruin your wiring.
Rehinged the ARB fridge with a kit from a forum member here to allow the lid to open up all the way.
Added the Two Zone baskets later to organize the grub on top.
Yaesu 857D ham radio, install is not 100% done yet.
Main unit will go under passenger seat when I get back on track.
BajaRacks rear ladder.
Last weekend added a 60 watt foldable solar panel for keeping the batteries juiced up while running the ARB fridge and tent light when camping.
Whole article here.
Complete buildup of my rig is in my sig below, but the above is a quick rundown on some of my favorite mods.
My latest pic.
Tis a wee baby.
Camping this weekend
You want to see "smokies"? Put your AQI ( Air Quality Index) app on South Lake Tahoe. My fave wheeling spots are in flames. AQI over 500. Pretty dreadful, won't be able to go up there for a long time. Out of control fires and Highway 50 closed north of Sacramento. Its a mess.
