deadhed61's Build Up

Added some 3/4" Bora spacers tonight. Cut the fenders a bit and now I only rub in 2 places at full bump instead of 4.

 

This makes me want to spend thousands on new bumpers and such… just to put a hammock up… Most epic mod ever!

 

On the way to Breckenridge. The fun in Colorado starts tomorrow.

 

That's an Awesome photo.

 

Sick picture! That hi clearance bumper though...

 

thanks guys!

I'm finally back to the daily grind after my 3 week vacation so there should be many more pictures of our non-expo expedition to Colorado and back in the near future!

Hardest part about being back is trying to remember all my different passwords for work. Not sure how everyone else has it, but I swear my work has a different password to log in into EVERYTHING!! PITA!!

 

BAMFTACO??

Juanita?

 

Yes sir ,changed my username from wildlandtaco to Bamftaco. From Juan to Edward lol

 

edward wtf?

 

seriously, what's with the Edward thing??

 

Don't worry about it

When are you free during the week we should meet up up for a beer I'll be working in Oxnard soon so your some what close.

 

I don't even know what it is

 

Awesome man! Is it something permanent and better than what you were doing before?

I'm always up to grab a beer after work. Let me know when you get the new gig started and we'll set something up!

 

Currently working at chevy dealer I don't mind but new job will be working on big rigs/ diesels by the port and starts off really good pay and benifits aswell. I'll hit up later this week well meet up for a beer

 

Mildly adventurous, now that funny!! But if you had to use your aux tank, it was definitely an expedition! I actually ended up using my 5 gallons Sunday night when we got back. Didn't want to go to the gas station before heading up to Refugio.

Snorkel hasn't come yet?!?!?! You bastard, you already ordered one?

 

Sounds good man! Congrats!

 

Welcome!

I know all about that....I have SO many passwords I have to know at work. Some programs require 2 or 3 just to get into them. It's always fun to come back to work from a nice vacation out in it and have to change all your passwords because they expired. lol
At least you got a 3 week vacation!! It's been years since I've been able to get away for even 2 weeks.
In any case, I look forward to seeing more of your trip photos....it looks like it was a really fun vacation!

 

Well, here is a photo heavy posts of some of the photos from our trip through Arizona, Utah, and Colorado. All these are pretty much scenic and lack much action since the guy (who will remain nameless) that has most of those of my truck is being super lazy and can't get he computer working (or so he says).

So we started out camping in the Mojave to get a jump start on our way to the Grand Canyon. This was probably the worst part of the drive. But the camp site wasn't half bad. Truck are clean and ready to go.


Onward to The Grand Canyon. This was my first time being here so I was pretty awestruck to say the least.


Setting up camp and relaxing in the hammock with a cold one.


Off to Utah we go where White Rim was our first trail. We did about a third of it the first day and the rest the next. It was a very simple trail but the scenery was amazing!


Pretty sure this was the most difficult spot on the trail


Little view from our camp and me posing on a small ledge since there wasn't much else on the trail.



Couple more shot of the last half of White Rim





After White Rim we camped out in Moab and took a little tour of Arches National Park. Another awesome place to amazing views!



After Arches we started making our way to Colorado running trails all along the way. Can't really remember everything we did in order but there were a lot. I believe this was camp before heading to CO. Forgot to mention we picked up a 3rd Tacoma along the way. Timmy's buddy met up with us in UT.



CO definitely has a different feel than UT.



First camp in CO. Perfect weather and even better views.




Here's camp along a trail the night before starting the Alpine Loop.




We started the Alpine Loop with Engineer Pass. Again not that difficult of a trail but driving along a single lane track with a sheer cliff on one side at 12,000ft can be a bit intimidating.




All worth it though once we got to the top.




Coming down was pretty fun as well




After Engineer we found a camp and decided to to a little maintenance before starting up on Cinnamon the next day. Lets just say that it was beyond time for me to change my air filter.... and this is after using my custom pantyhoe prefilter mod. I'm sure I have a photo of it somewhere but I can't seem to find it right now.




Cinnamon was a very similar trail compared to Engineer. Here's a pic from the top.



After Cinnamon we ended up running a couple other trails which had just been cleared. the Snow pack was still very high. It was pretty cool until we got to Hurricane Pass where some Rhino UTV fucker wouldn't pull over to and open area for us (we were going up hill) and made us go around him on the cliff side. Long story short both of us had our rear tires start sliding down the ice cliff as we passed. Luckily we both hooked up before going too far down. Needless to say, we were not pleased.




We then made our way back to UT to hit one more main trail. Can't go to Moab with getting the classic Top of the World pic, RIGHT?? So we set camp the night before running the trail, relaxed, and played some bones. I taught Timmy how to play at the beginning of this trip and I'm pretty sure I only won 1-2 games in close to 8 nights of playing....That bastard!




Top of the World was next. Trail Damage has it rated as only a 3-4 which I have a hard time believing cause I'm pretty sure this was the toughest trail we did. Getting to the top wasn't too bad, but completing the loop and going around seemed to be the tough part. Tons of pretty large ledges with both down hill and up hill sections. Absolutely a blast though!
