Squeaky Penguin's 2nd Gen Build - Take 2

Freeing up bed space was one of the biggest reasons for this setup.

 

It's the only real reason I want one on igor. Get the gas out and CO2 out.

 

I didn't read the whole thread(yet), but this should allow you to use the TPMS is you ever want.

Looks like a lot of reports of that not working.

I haven't done anything yet, but don't mind cutting the wire behind the hvac controls.

 

Couldn't shake any extra funds out of the money tree for some new or clean cans lol.

 

On next weeks overland digest Brett will have a auxiliary fuel tank fabbed and mounted where the spare is.

 

well aged haha

 

That water can is brand new! And I think I shook the money tree too much, especially being funemployed now. Hoping it doesn't get too tight at the end of summer.

And I dig the beat up, multi-colored, surplus gas can.

The tire is still under the bed and staying there.

And real overlanders would have used rotopax and wouldn't have made it themselves

 

And no more mods. That bumper took too much time as is.

Time to pack up and leave!

 

Have fun!

 

I'm just living vicariously thru ol' Squeaky here!

 

We all are! Don’t let us down @Squeaky Penguin no pressure! Let us know if you meet your future wife on this trip!

 

what your loose plan/itinerary?

 

Riding the MTB with me.

 

I honestly have zero plans. Whole summer is going to be played by ear.

I think @Wishbone Runner has got me talked into heading up to MT chasing salmonflies. Got delayed a day, so hopefully leaving tomorrow, but more likely first thing Wednesday.

I do still want to chase Goldens out by you. Might be the perfect way to spend my b-day in a few weeks assuming it's accessible.

Will want to get plenty of riding in too. But not if you're still in AR...

 

Ton of snow has melted here. I don't think you'll have issues. Few drifts here and there but nothing you won't be able to hike over.

Roads in the Beartooths don't open for another month FYI. If that changes your thoughts.

 

I got back to the thin, dry air yesterday. We're all good.

 

It does. If I end up there I would definitely like to go back to Goose. When exactly do they open?

Also itching to do Morrison again, but probably won't do that solo.

 

Morrison and Goose won't open until the 15th of July. That's the earliest. Normally I'd say the snow can keep Morrison closed longer but I don't think that'll be an issue this year.

I'd be down to run Morrison with you. I haven't done it in a long time and am always worried it'll close sooner than later. Sure I could do a weekender with you and run morrison and then Goose.
