Overland Expo West 2018 (Flagstaff, AZ) May

come on maaaaaan. gets you in touch with nature.. I personally love duecin in the woods.

 

I wont..

 

But it's so liberating!

I'm working on Shitter 3.0. 1.0 and 2.0 were the plastic seats with the folding legs (the latter being the bigger model). I just bought a new director's camp chair, so I'm converting my old one into a full-size yet foldable commode for camping. Maybe I'll have it done in time, fully functional with covered toilet paper roll and magazine rack. Fully camo, of course, except for hunter orange on the lid.

 

Got so much coming up before this. New tires Saturday. Roof lightbar, switch panel, skid plate, axe mount all coming up on Sunday. I love this week!

 

lol. sounds like my list. lights, lights, fix my CB, some more lights..

 

I'm doing brakes tomorrow and replacing my lower uniball bolts. Then I might even get a new product from @RelentlessFab in the mail this week that I need to install.

 

You have alley lights on your rack right? Which did you get again? I need to fix my CB too. My antenna is grounded.

Bed Bars?

 

So many great rigs at this event. Nick, will you be there Friday?

 

nice! changed the oil and threw in a new cabin filter over the weekend.. couple things crossed off the list.

yeah. right now, they are just little 6" bars from Ebay.. but..switching them out. might not have them done in time for the expo tho.

 

What are you switching to?

 

This reminds me I need a new CB antenna cable. I ripped the other one because I ran it too tight under the cab and to my bedrack. Bed flexed too much and it ripped out of the socket. I need to relocate my antenna mount to the back awning tab this time so it doesn't get in the way of the RTT, either. 18' should run fine from the cab, out of a floor grommet, along under the bedside, and out a small hole and up the bed rack rail. Hopefully having it in the rear of the truck on the grounded rack is a good enough ground plane to get the same signal I had when it was mounted right behind the cab.

 

Shit, that's right. I need to replace my oil pan gasket while I do an oil change this week. I already have everything, I'm just too lazy to do it. Now that my valve cover gaskets are replaced and not leaking down the motor, I can degrease, too.

 

We were in the mountains of VA with 6 or so Tacoma's a few years back... and I took the walk to find a nice spot. Dug a hole next to a slate ledge and had a nice prop to lean against. I was "in the moment" when I heard something moving... getting closer. I grabbed my glock off the ledge and waited. This German Shepherd (4 - 5 years old) came and sat in front of me and just stared! WTF. I finished, and that dog followed me back to camp, and followed our trucks on the trails the entire next day! Then, it ran off into the woods... who knows, maybe to find someone else!

 

@Cascadia Tents you will be here right? Will you have any inventory of awnings for people to buy there or will I still need to order one?

 

a couple 34" White single row bars. one each side.

 

Damn. Heavy duty. I'm going 6" hopefully. Just on the front in front of my mini shovel lol

 

I need better mounts for my lights. I HATE all of them! LOL

 

get to it! just dont pull the same dipshit move like I did Saturday... forgot to put the plug back in.. and realized it as I was pouring about a quart or more of fresh oil in.. only to watch it pour out the other end. lol

that's awesome!! I would have been scared... shitless..

 

yeah.. cuz why not.. lol moar light!!

I definitely hear that! in fact.. when I come back from lunch I'm going to start workin on a mount for my roof bar. need something custom to get it to fit and mount how/where I want it.

gonna be some beefy aluminum mounts
