The BRWNTRD (Hasn't flopped yet)

Then headed north that weekend to the Central Valley for work and have done some exploring from there.

Work stuff


Kings Canyon National Park, Sequoia National Forest and Sequoia National Park last weekend just after a fresh snow fall.


Super far off road



Kings Canyon


Took the normally paved Ten Mile Road from Hume Lake back to 198 but it was mostly covered in snow just past this stop


Followed the tracks of some animal for the majority of the road


Got almost to the end and came upon a Subaru that had gotten stuck and been left overnight. Dug out the drift next to it so I could get around, couldn’t find a shift lock override so we weren’t able to pull it out.


And the aftermath of driving on wet sanded roads

 

Looks like Bell had loads of fun!

 

Did you run into the owners of the subaru or was it left unlocked

 

Unlocked, if the keys had been the we would have dragged it up to the plowed section 70 feet forward

 

so is this a mobtown piece? my original brackets are looking a little crusty

 

Yeah, I got em powder coated with some other bits and bobs so they looked shiny

 

Im going to have to text Joe and see if I can get my hands on some.

Hows the gfc treating you? Im getting ready to choose my options next week. Was freaking out about the kb voodoo bed side caps and my antenna, but I think Ill be ok.

 

I’m heading back to Texas at the end of the year and trying to decide if I want to keep it in a place that has less opportunities for use. No sure I want to get back into the type of wheeling I was doing there with a house on the back

 

Keep it, build a trailer around it, etc. there are options.

 

A trailer is a hard no, I’m not trying to learn how to back up a short trailer

 

I can teach you.
Lesson 1: It sucks.

 

LOL - I learned how to do that when I was 6 living on a farm. I was really good by the time I was 12, moved into town at after that and my skills have deteriorated ever since. Not too bad though since I only need a small correction or two.

 

Finally starting to knock out some of the list of maintenance that has started to pile up.

The 4.0 and a Fumoto valve make an oil change a 1 beer evolution. Put in some more fancy oil and an over size filter so back to ignoring it for a year.

While it was draining I fixed the locker power that broke sometime in the past, just needed a new terminal but I need to decide on a more permanent set.

Tomorrow I need to finish installing the GFC Beef Bars I got from @d.shaw awhile back and drop in a new cabin air filter and then I will reward myself with some Anzo shenanigans on Sunday

 

So you wanna cruise sunday with us, we are going to head out off the 8 to check some shit out.

 

This may have been due a few weeks ago

 

LOL - ya think?

 

Windy desert action with @Prayn4surf today

 

Loose and kinda sketchy ledge was good for a pucker.

 

Doing stuff

 

Looking for the 10mm socket you dropped?
