    Lets see some pics of how you involve your truck with your hobby whether it is camping, off-roading, camping, photography, or what I like to do, Photography. Here's my contribution. My Truck and my Absolute Favorite thing is this world. The Daylight Steam Engine. Built in the 1920s it's still the Jewel of Historical Steamers. I'm Sure Brian would appreciate this.

    yeah man, nice one Andrew. The SP 4449...My sister rode behind that engine on an excursion when she was little. My dad has some good photos of that thing coming down Cajon pass.


    Here is my contribution to this thread;


    My best friend and I out camping, and shooting (also, this is the only time my truck has been "off pavement")...

    Man those pilots were sweet! wish they still made them like that, with the single seat. Guess the closest thing to that now is a Polaris RZR

    First two are on the backside of the Estrellas , between Maricopa and Gila bend...at a "secret' place. The third one is on top of South Mountain, correct. We could take a ride down to the first spot if you like.
