    More than a few guys have had that issue with the rear view mount.

    Weird!

    Kind TW members installed my
    $77 D29xl Leaf Spring
    D29xl add a leaf to my dakar pack at the mod day recently. Thanks again fellas! This addition was necessary as the standard pack was being overloaded by dump/home depot runs, camping trips and so on. I carry two 5 gallon cans of extra fuel and an extra wheel/tire on the roof rack, a ski box full of sun shades/ tent poles etc, along with my regular camping stuff > so the upgraded pack will be able to handle this much better. The standard Dakar pack is good for a camper shell only. I greased the drive shaft today and clean green grease purged immediately leading me to believe the dealership actually performed this duty recently, as it's been 20k since I got under there with the grease gun. Also used some sleeping bag patch material I bought with my REI membership yearly check to repair my drivers neoprene coverking seat cover, it had tear/wear right where you would expect it. It's been a week or so and appears to be holding up well.

    Last minute trip to Bowman Lake, and then the northern section of the California Backcountry Discovery Route. More to come. High-siding it on this part!

    Had to do some trail clearing, some of the route was pushed by a dozer, others looked untouched.

    @EatSleepTacos , your front recovery point that you gifted me got put to use today! See the posts above. Clearing section 7 of the Plumas/Lassen part of the CABCDR. First time pulling from the front end and it withstood a good amount of force. I put a sweatshirt on the strap to damp it, just to be sure.

    Trimmed some downed trees to make them more "roof rack passing by" friendly

    Keeping it simple is the best way. Less setting up, less taking down/packing, more time to enjoy the outdoors

    You're lucky the glare from the scoop didn't have you drive right into the lake! Great pictures, keep them coming.

    Saturday afternoon along the Feather River I came across a dub-step festival, I smelled it :rasta:before I heard the bass beats. One lane bridge across to the resort where it is held. ... not really my thing (I'm more Merle Haggard than Steve Aioki) but mellow security was nice enough to let me park in the temp lot for a while - and i jedi mind -tricked my way in for a few hours. Copped a shower and some yummy (really!) vegan festy food while there. Ran into a person i know running the coffee cart. Heavy psychedelic presence at the festival, it rubbed off on me and I felt lifted the rest of the day. Ended up at a family-run hot springs a few miles east of there, then an off trail campsite south of Butts Reservoir , almost the northern terminal of the CABCRDT

    At the Bowman Lake forest service campground I dropped my skid to check my front differential. I haven't had a chance to since my Death Valley NP trip burped fluid out of the breather. I was able to add over 8oz before it started dripping. Also added a zip-tie to my Fumoto valve for peace of mind. The small kind slips into the groove nicely and makes it impossible to open without cutting it off.

    In the decade+ I lived in San Francisco I never knew Mr Bings had a basement. Guess since the IRA guys took over they allow limited nights. Watching a friends band. The designated driver tonight , I found a miracle spot out front for the taco on the first flyby. Got a signed Stanley Mouse print to take home!

    Yay my half price (REI garage + 20%) noahs tarp 16 and 6-8ft pole showed up. Cant wait to experiment with rigging this off my Thule rack, lots of good tips on YouTube using Prussic knots and rope to have the corner not need to be right on the rack. Need a spool of reflective guyline. I've only used smaller noahs for minimalist backpacking in the past, excited to try configurations with this bigboy.
