What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend? (42 Viewers)

[Tools R Us]

Were out working on the staging area, today.

Installed the t-posts for the perimeter fence.

Worked on the entry.

Got the gate set and hung.

Had lunch, then enjoyed inspected one of our favorite trails.

Aired up for the first time at one of the other staging areas that we built.

Fully agree, as an OHV advocate we often get egg in the face, sometimes the trick is gracefully wearing egg! Recreation is not a right, it's a privilege, not political, it's about budget, activation, responsibility, etc. The agencies, for sure Forest, have little, if any budget for recreation, so to have quality recreation, we have to make it.

Attending meetings, events, with people representing just about every type of public lands recreation imaginable, they all have issues, often internal. A priority is to do what is possible to reduce, improve, eliminate the problems. The biggest issue we all face is the shooting problem and have never seen any representation at any of these events, as a gun owner I find this highly embarrassing. It's not about gun hate, most outdoor users, no matter what category they put themselves in, are gun owners.

The thing is, the shooting community is huge here, lots of manufactures, etc, could likely buy the rest of the communities out of pocket change. But don't care about the destruction of our public lands by members of their community. If they are too good to pickup trash, could at least fund the efforts that do it on their behalf. So if you are a big problem and don't care enough to do anything about it, do you deserve the privilege?

Tons of time and effort has been wasted attempting to engage them, with almost zero result. It's a tough decision, many of us have enjoyed shooting on public lands, but the juice is no longer worth the squeeze. At this point, all of the local communities that we work with, are done with the shooting deal, it needs to go, and are advocating for that goal.

As I said before, there are irresponsible people in every walk of life. Do you not think that certain environmentalist groups think that us off roaders are doing harm simply by driving on bare mineral earth? Maybe we should scrap a our 4x4’s and take up arts and crafts. The turds that don’t respect others or the land they use make up a small segment of any interest group and they will always exist. The problem today is that more and more of society refuses to take the bad with the good; can’t have one without the other and there is always more good than bad. Condemnation of an entire community is outstanding ignorance.

Hmm.
I thought California was full of emotional turds, but it seems like AZ has it's fair share too.
For the first time in a very long time I am glad I am in CA.

Had a lot of fun driving some dirt roads and Northwestern Maine with the family!

Or also available in a junk yard from any Toyota since the mid 80s that has a single-din factory head unit.

Oh yeah, I know. I probably have the pocket laying around somewhere from my 4Runner when I put the Cobra 18 WX ST II in there. Was just trying to think of something cooler to put there than a pocket I don't really need. If I can't find something useful to put there I may just order another of those CBs and throw it in there. It gets used less nowadays than it use to now that cell phones work most places I go but it is still handy every now and then and ups my mall cred at cars and coffee

Those look great - what offset are they?

I took my favorite uncle out to Canyonlands and the surrounding areas, did Elephant Hill and some of Lockhart Basin. Minds were blown; my uncle freaked out (in a good way) as he's never been off-roading before; pants were (possibly) shat. I earned major nephew points for demonstrating driving / off-roading / camping excellence, and apparently am climbing the family leader board for Most Favored Nephew. Great success.

I ran into a group of 9 long-distance overlanding Swiss / Italian guys in very kitted out Cruisers - I saw a couple of Troopys and some awesome 100s and 200s... but alas, only one of them spoke English and he was dealing with American bureaucracy in the form of the Canyonlands Backcountry Permit Officer so I didn't get to chat them up. Pretty sweet out there though, always glad to be back.

Also been meaning to post this.. since I got the @bhicks cup holders I've been trying to find a decent, reasonably priced flashlight that fits the holder. The one I had before was too small and flopped around but this one fits well and the lanyard helps it to not rattle. Plus it is rechargeable and I recently used it heavily during the last hurricane for 3 nights straight and it never ran out of charge and was able to recharge today in about 10 mins. Plus it is really bright for the size. Figured I'd pass on the find. Also Anker runs sales quite often so you can probably get it cheaper if you watch it for a bit.

Anker Super Bright Tactical Flashlight, Rechargeable (18650 Battery Included), Zoomable, IP65 Water-Resistant, 900 Lumens CREE LED, 5 Light Modes for Camping and Hiking, Bolder LC90 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01KH2JP5G/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_DhGZBb1XQYX6E

It looks like you got a lot done, one thing I noticed is the twelve point nuts on the exhaust manifold studs. Smart upgrade especially for manifold nuts. Did they come like that, or did you get it as part of a kit? Im gonna have to look into that when I swap the turbo for the manifold/turbo flange, but should do that to the manifold at the head if I ever have to swap the gaskets.

Purty! Was it dirty 5 minutes later?

Did he shat and perhaps get a little nervous in the section at the beginning of Elephant Hill where you have to back down (if I remember the correct trail)?

I was the support vehicle for my buddy's lifted Sentra called Leon in the TN Gambler 500 this past weekend. It was a blast!

How is your winch mounted?!? It looks really cool especially using the OEM bumper.

Car show duty today. We sponsored, so I had a spot and a booth, for a relaxing Saturday surrounded by beautiful cars.

We had about 100 cars in attendance, and perfect weather.

@TRAIL TAILOR , your tent was a hit. I had dozens of people climb up and down that ladder. People who hadn't seen an RTT before, were fascinated. It was pretty cool, especially seeing all the kids checking it out.

Just saw this facebook post...

Those kids were having a blast!

Thats cool, I think I remember as a kid being on showroom floors where you weren't allowed to touch anything or get fingerprints on stuff. For folks that don't have these sorts of hobbies in their life it can be an exciting thing, I'm sure it made a lasting impression on those kids, and maybe some of the adults.

When I was a kid, I would make my parents pop the top of their westfalia so i could camp out in the driveway RTT is like a modern tree fort for a kid
