Hey, thanks Jared,
I installed the new Dakar EL095 leaf packs in the rear with extended length 5100 billies on the corners. 887 coils up front. Currently I am running 265/75/16 Cooper ST Maxx E rated. I like the stance with this size tire. I am not a fan of the big tire look. Although, I may upgrade to skinny 255's when my current tires wear out.

 

Looks great. I have 265 KO2's and I plan on keeping to that size. I like the fact that I'll probably never rub too. I was on the fence with the 255s but went the 265 route and I'm happy. I may explore that option again once these wear out. I've got my eye on those new leaf packs. Seems to be the better option for the rear. I didn't really like the 3 leaf AAL on my '15 that I had. Thanks for the info!

Still using stock UCA's? Any alignment issues?

 

Question for ya'all. We have a RTT that is inbound over the next couple of weeks, and we are trying to decide on some options. Basically it comes down to awning or annex. Both zip into the overhand so that getting in and out of the tent is weather covered. The awning will be quicker and easier to setup, but the annex will have the options of hunkering down in case of truly terrible weather and or a bug storm. Thoughts?

 

Just back from 12 days in Glacier, Jasper and Banff National Parks. Towing the teardrop trailer I built over the last four months. Great trip!

 

Really liking that trailer you got there.

 

My CVT Shasta (Summit) came with an annex, and I have an awning as well. After 20+ times deploying the tent, I have yet to use the annex, but have used the awning 5 or so times (mostly for shade). We have, however, had an exceptional weather this summer so the annex has not been needed yet.
This may or may not help you with your decision.

 

On the way to Bellingham to catch the Ferry to Ketchikan, we stopped in the Northern Cascades in Washington for the night.

 

pretty. Birch?

 

Awesome, we need some pics of the inside of that trailer!

 

Did you go out to CLC Boats for the build or go for the at home build?

 

A much needed night in the woods.

 

Upper control arms are stock. Allignment shop had no problems.

 

Looks like there were a few huckleberries, did you try any?

 

It's the CLC kit. Took about 4 months to build.

 

Yes sir.

 

Interior still needs some work, but here's a few.

 

Wow, that whole set up is just plain sick! Nice!

 

Very nice!!

 

Can anyone recommend a good ground tent? Interior space around 80"x80" if possible, quick set up, good quality, holds up to elements (wind, rain, etc), additional annex for standing up is preferred. I feel like RTTs are not a good choice for us (2 humans, 3 large dogs) especially with the ladder and total weight (550+ including the RTT itself) on top of our bed shell (will not be using bed bars - need to keep the truck bed enclosed). Oh, also what type of mattress/flooring so we don't have to lay directly on the ground? TIA!
