    Like I said, I know I missed a bunch in the trip and it's probably a little out of order but it is what it is. I'm sure Timmy will have a more indepth and correct write up. Check out his build to see it (if he ever gets around to it).

    And hopefully I'll be getting some more photos soon as well.....

    All in all this was an amazing trip, and I'm already looking forward to another one out that way. It was 12 days or something and that wasn't nearly long enough to get in everything we wanted to.

    Thanks Dave!

    I think we racked up about 3300-3500 miles round trip. Longest road trip I've ever been on for sure!

    no, no , no.....I expect a waaaay more detailed report from you. In my old age my memory isn't what it used to be. Plus, you had the kick ass camera! Oh yeah, and on that note, I've got some of those memory dooohicky things for your camera you can have.

    It was indeed!! Nice shot! That trip report is coming along great. I love rereading what we did and seeing photos of it I haven't seen before!

    Well, Timmy started his write up and it's turning out great with way more detail and waaaay better photos. Check it out if interested!

    Thanks Marc! It was pretty great.

    It's funny how gojng on such a long trip like this made me totally rearrange the things I have planned to do with the truck. Everything has has little function, is now at the very bottom of the list. And surprisingly, getting a softopper is pretty high on the list now...

    Trips have a way of guiding your build that's for sure! Coolest part of TW is how diverse everyone is with their use for their truck and how they build it to suit their needs :cool:

    cool, thanks man! Probably hit you up tomorrow or Thursday. I should be good on the arbor though, I had to get one what I installed the hammock.

    Most likely will! :D

    No thanks, haha, but I'll help you install one on your truck using this method! :p

    Yeah, I mocked it up yesterday and it looks like the only crucial spots are the pillar and making sure it fits below antenna. Other than that, it seems like your right. Did you use anything to seal up the screw holes in the pillar (assuming that's how it was mounted) so it doesn't leak?

    Yeah, I'm going to leave the pillar mount off for now, but just in case I had to use it I wanted to see what people were using. Thanks for the info, I'll have to look into the sensor safe stuff. I was actually planning on just using JB Weld. :p
