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

[TexasJack]

Totally agree with you, i run a weather service here in remote Aus and having the knowledge of storms has saved my hide more than once for sure. Was caught between a fire storm after some intense lightning stikes, watched it jump the hwy and burn across in a matter of minutes, we had no choice but to gun through it once the winds shifted, scariest moment (my wife didnt come storm chasing for a while after that)
Whilst we dont deal with too many tornadoes we certainly get some of the most spectacular desert thunder storms and cyclones in this area. I really want to do a Tornado alley run (im sure you have done this a few times) but not as a tourist, just with an exp person and some raw photography.

Also YES! we have this issue here to, every dang bit of land is privately owned these days you really cant go anywhere without permission or heavy restriction, public land is becoming increasingly scarce

If you come over for a Tornado Alley Run, be prepared for incredibly long drives across monotonous tracks of land with no action. Storm chasing is like how some of my friends describe their jobs as cops/firemen.......days of bordom followed by a few minutes of intense adrenaline rush......then back to boredom again. If it is a slow season you may not see much.

but, you can get a highlift on the front bumper but only in one location where the 2 inch receiver goes in. I have a 4X4 Labs bumper as well. Luke was telling me they make a device that slides into the 2 inch receiver that you can hook up to a highlifter jack

yea, thats cool but it sucks because sometimes the middle dosnet work, let me know if you locate this hitch thingy.

I will tell you the rear is a major pain in the butt. I knew it would be and it didn’t disappoint. Took my 6 hours today to do one side and it still doesn’t look good at all.

Since I have ARB drawers I’m stuck with an annoying gap between the drawers and the second row. Decided to CNC router a piece of 3/4” birch and then primer and paint it. From there I cut out two slots for my SB50 flush mount brackets, one on each side.

Good solution. Looks like it was supposed to be there.

Almost. Now that I have my own quarter panel mount in my own truck, I can finally work on my own wiring. Novel.

Had a blast camping. It has been so dry here this fall and winter. I dont think it has rained once in the last 3 months. I thought my dust trail stretching for miles in the calm desert evening was pretty cool.
