Wheeling in Coppinger Cove, Sequatchie Valley, TN. Bashed my left rear quarter a week after the right rear. Fixed both and having a rear bumper built this week. @oldredfj60

My truck is the green one. You ever take that Mall-Rated 80 out of 4WD Hi in Kansas?:flipoff2:


Not as often as I want!

But I tell you.....there is some SWEET Curb-Crawling going on up here! I should have taken a few shots posing at Home Depot yesterday......

I just gotta take the wheelchair rack off the back if I'm gonna get serious.........
 
Explored around terlingua and big bend national park. Camped a little at this spot...it was amazing. Still having overheating problems though...even with brand new radiator I was getting to over 220* on highway hill climbs. Cooled right back down on the downhills... Not sure what it could be

The Arizona guys use Tools r us modded clutches. I rarely see 200° in the middle of the summer pulling 7% grades in 110° plus temps.

Hard to beat 39.2° AC vent temp and cool water temps

That’s actually pretty good. What is it?
hit up tim on IG its a roofnest I have 25000 miles all seasons and have slept in it 52 times its a good set up
 
after a day on metal masher with @Jason hansen I got a little damage but still did another 2 weeks in moab and drove it home with no vibrations at all. that rear DS is made by a guy here in andover ma. zero vibration and I have new landtanks inbound from Joey. Jason and his wife were awesome, really nice folks couldnt have asked to bump into beter mud members. except @ajax1 of course. Jason offered up his newly rebuilt spare OEM rear driveshaft but I couldnt take another mans Spare and this one is still good to go. Plus I have a spare out back. If you look close you can see my foxwing awning found its way to Jasons rig after I stopped on a scale and discovered even with half of what I usally carry shes clocking 7500 on a scale got it down to 6970 now.

Yep, I see all of these West Coast rigs that get wheeled and still have their flares and nice paint. Hell, they can even put stuff on the roof! We had a couple of friends of mine from So Cal with us that weekend for a ride along. They were blown away by what we do here, but I'm looking forward to going out there to run around in the desert. Always wanted to wheel out West.
Nice East Coast loose rock stream bed climb. That stuff and the trees will beat you up good.

Yeah, it’s like wheelin mecca out there, so much space to camp, and basic elbow room. Whole different world. Harder to find a tree to slide sideways onto. Much lower impact on rigs, unless you want it. Then youll find it. Utah is incredible, lots of ground to cover.

They are having GSMTR in the Smokey Mountains this week. Check it out at GSMTR 2018 | May 14-19 | Windrock Park
My rear bumper/ qtr protection wont be ready in time, but from what I hear its guaranteed body damage. If you ever find yourself heading down South let me know.
Can be. I only dented my running board last year but stayed on the mild trails.
