Builds Scat's GX Build

[Scat Adams]

Thanks, it drives great, True Line in El Cajon knows what they are doing if anyone is in the San Diego area.

Nice, added True Line to my phone contacts.

Thanks.

Recap of our trip through Utah and Colorado; We started in San Diego, about 2,000 miles round trip. Our stops included Gooseberry Mesa, Escalante, Moab, and Tellueride. Awesome experience with some great friends, also met up with Ripcord in Telluride. There were no major truck issues all trip, but my front brake line did come off after some high speed whoop'di'doo's but it was a simple fix. Also took a little scrap to the rear bumper in Moab but that was to be expected

Looking for a campsite in Moab, near the end of Fins N Things;

Timbo Tusk was the real MVP

Hiker Hunger hammocks came in clutch, around $30 and comes with straps/carabiners, great deal compared to ENO's;

General Grabber X3's making it look easy;

Ben's Bullhorn Edition 4th Gen

Telluride abides;

After 5 nights of camping, a condo in Telluride was a warm welcome;

Cheers!

@Scat Adams that's a nice looking rig. I will have to start from the beginning of your thread, looks like it will be a good read. Was Moab crazy ? We went out March 25th-April 1st and business was picking up.

Half K- I was there about a week before you, it was the middle of the week & definitely somewhat crowded in town but the locals said it gets 10x worse later on which I can imagine is pretty hectic. We camped a site near the end of Fins N Things but had to drive down a little to find an opening, some KTM guys let us park a truck at their site. We lucked out because the sign said next campsites was something like 5-7 miles down the road...

Love your build.....how are your UCAs holding up? Any squeaks or noises.

 

[Scat Adams]

Dan- Dang dang, jealous, enjoy!

04UZJ100- Thanks man! The Total Chaos uca's have been great so far, they get a little noisy every six months or so but it goes away if you grease them.

Few more pictures from the trip;

Sunrise in Zion;

We documented the entire trip with an Sony FS5 and a DJI Osmo, will post the video once its ready, here's some random production shots;

The Osmo took in a ton of dirt this trip but never lets us down;

Wes going over some footage, the GoalZero Yeti 400 kept our electronics powered;

Nobody circles them wagon's like Outworld!

Big thanks to the Moab Film Commission;

Loaded the GX up again and headed to Indio with some friends, Coachella never disappoints;

Looking forward to the video! Make sure to post it here.

We're taking the GX to Paradiso at the end of June, the week after the Northwest Overland Rally. Not going to be at all surprised if we come back to camp and find someone passed out in our roof top tent, haha...

Great shots of the trip! I'm ready for some warm trip this summer. Tired of being cold and wet up here

 

[Scat Adams]

Right on AW, Ive always wanted to catch a show at the Gorge!

Looks like you removed your front sway bar? How do you think the highway stability has been affected? Have you noticed much?

 

[Scat Adams]

I've had it off for over a year now, at first I did notice it being off but its pretty minor overall and worth the off road benefits. I took off the front sway when I installed the UCA's and those alone made it much more stable at highway speeds but Im sure adding the bar back would stiffen it up even more. Hope this helps.

Amazing pics, incredible GX. Can't wait to see the video!

 

[TRY666R]

Still the best GX build. Great shots, I love getting re fueled with inspiration!

Stay tuned, more to come this summer!
