Trail weathered, and Trail Ready!
And as of now... Sporting the brand new rollers...
Wheels: Trail Ready 20x9's. Sand blasted with clear powder coat.
Tires: 12.50R20 Michelin XL. That's 40.7" diameter. Center lugs siped.
Beadlocks: InnerAirLocks.
The dreamiest rolling combo I can possibly imagine for expedition tripping. No balancing what-so-ever and they are silky smooth on the highway.
Other Expo bits include:
Technitop on a Rhino Rack, along with a Foxwing Awning. Also mounted up top are LED flood lights for side and rear illumination, and a 30" light Bar on the rack for bleaching the tarmac in front of me.
Aluminum rear rack holds spare, water, fuel and propane.
Auxillary Battery, an Engle 45 on a drop slide for cooler duties, and a Waeco35 on freeze patrol.
A Weather Guard Pack Rat drawer is full of tools and spares.
a 24v ARB Twin compressor provides air.
A 1500W 24V inverter makes household power.
Various electronics include a netbook laptop, Garmin Oregon 500, Galaxy Notebook Phablet, and Sirius Satelite Radio all mounted on Ram Mounts on a accessory bar above the dash board. A ham radio and stereo round out the electronics.
Drivetrain includes a polished and port matched 13BT pushing 21 lbs boost. 5 speed into a Marlin 4.8 Toybox, into a 'Home-made-mcnamarra' gear in the Split Case. 4.88's in the diffs with factory diff locks. Suspension is sprung over, with a Bam-bar on wrap-patrol in the rear, and a few helper coils over the rear leaves.
We're heading down to the Moab area for 2 weeks of desert exploration. I want to find where Thelma and Loise launched their car, and walk in the canyon where dude cut his own arm off. After Kokopelli and White Rim, it will be over to Elephant Hill, then south on Devils Lane and points south to Halls Crossing. From there, we'll take Burr Trail and portions of hole in the rock as we make our way across the desert, hopefully getting to North Rim of the Grand Canyon before our time runs out.
We leave on Saturday... Very excited.
