The Frankenstein Build! LT/Expo/Trail rig..and BS

The 95 needs to make its way on a trip. Maybe a Regular Cab run up to Goose lake. Which thanks to you is on my bucket list for my Tacoma.

 

I want an excuse to camp at Goose Lake again

 

I'm sure i'll try and go there this year. Have to be later as there is a ton of snow up there still.

Might try and run up there during the "weekend" during my concert season. Not ideal for you timing wise and just be an over nighter. Nice it's close to me ha

Also going to try for Shoshone over 4th of july. No sure snow levels there though gotta check with Brett.

I have gone camping with it! Like...twice maybe. Not super fun as I don't have AC in it. I'd like to add it at some point. But its also just not setup for it. But I took it to the Big horns for a fun weekend once. I think that was when I was welding coil buckets up on Igor and spindles. Probably have photos somewhere..

yeah thats a great place. One of my all time favorite ones. Like all special places it's more busy than it was. Hopefully never closes but if the UTVers don't start behaving I could see it getting closed.

 

I would love to get up there this year, but I think the only chance I have in Montana I wont be in a rig that could make it. But maybe in 25 I can plan a week to get up there do to Goose and some other similar trails while I am there.

 

Keep me in the loop if you do make it out here.

 

I may pick your brain about Idaho/Montana in August. I might be driving from Cali back to Colorado taking the scenic route home for a week. But in a Camper truck not a wheeling truck.

 

Your ranger would cruise right up to Goose.

 

Like a newer ford ranger?

Yeah probably. Rip the side skirts off possible or steps if it has those.

I don't think it'd "Cruise" up there there but I'm sure it could make it. Few spots have gotten pretty rocky but bypasses to most of those spots.


Did we do it after morrison that one year? Or just Sawtooth?

 

I did after we attempted to fix you shitbox. My 2nd Gen on 265s had no issue.

 

Ah right everything broke on that trip. Cant remember if I've been there since. Not sure the last time I was there.

 

My second trucks a 2020 ranger fully armored on 34x10.50s locked in the rear with a long range tank. I'm sure it could make it, but I'd much rather get there in my Tacoma.

Unfortunately I'll probably be in a stock GMC 2500 with a full on slide in camper for this one. Half work trip have vacation.

 

oh pffff. That ranger would definitely walk into Goose haha



The 2500...would probably make it. Just...some damage probably haha

 

Just FYI, I've seen a few T100 owners report cracks on the spring perches despite them having a scab plate between the axle tube and perch. Should probably go Sequoia and have disc brakes anyway.

This could be entertaining.

 

Hm good to know ha

I already have a t100 axle. But could try and find a sequoia one.


It could be painful is what

 

This isn't about you.

 

Sequoia axles are dirt cheap and easy to find..

 

The only downside to the sequoia axles is muchas bracketas to remove

 

Nothin a cut off wheel and grinder can’t fix

 

Fixed

 

Fair.
