    Thank you for the kind words. It'll be a slow but steady build.

    The fly rods won't clear the back of the cab. We just bungie them if we want it open. To be honest most of the time we don't bother.

    Rolling on 15k miles. So far, so good this first winter. Took a quick drive out to the pond to exercise the rear diff. 20180118_223910.jpg

    Do you have these on yet?
    Any reason you went 2.0 on rear vs 2.5? (Price?)

    JBA control arms coming in today. Will be on very soon.

    Went with the 2.o because I think it'll do fine for what I do and where I'm at. If they end up heating up too much I'll switch them out.

    I'm looking forward to it.

    Just need to repaint the bed rack and repair the rain fly on the tent and we will be ready to go for camping season. Hoping to scout out a few fishing spots in the up coming weeks.Also need to explore a few logging roads I found on my map to make sure they're passable for a leg of a road trip this summer .

    awesome rig! I'm from New England as well and was wondering if you had recommendations for off road trails or sweet camping spots up in New Hampshire.

    The best advice I can give on trails is look for "historical roads" in rural towns, and be prepared. They may be passable, they may be closed,. They may be private. But the best way to find them is to just get out there. They are also occasionally found on a map as "Jeep trials" or "4x4" trials. Again, be prepared for a lot of them to be private when you show up.

    I'd say 90% of the trails I use are for access to water. We do a lot of fishing. But I personally like anything by the Rumney area or anything up by Errol to Rangeley.

    Camping, they're more GPS coordinates than actual locations. It's a crap shoot these days. In NH I just risk it and pop up somewhere in the woods and hope for the best or I use state parks as a jump of to go exploring. They're cheap and I use them like a hotel.

    Maine is a lot better for truck camping. Their private reserve system is nice. Especially up north where the logging company's are king. Fine a gated road with a check in and whoever is attending it can give you the skinny on local trails and camping.
