09 Great White Build

Thanks, yeah the truck has seen a lot of trails and miles. The color was needed to set it apart from all the other black All-Pro bumpers up here.

Yeah the hydro lock was totaylly unexpected, but I guess that what happens when you play with Cruisers on 37's with 6" of lift. Always need to know the limits on your truck.

Thanks, I'm headed back to Whipsaw on Friday so I should have some more great pics coming in a little while.

Fingers crossed that I can make the 3rd time a Charm!!!

 

Well happy to say that Whipsaw was a success! completed the trail in 9 hrs and got the redemption that I needed! Successful went through the puddle that flooded an engine 2 years ago, and successfully navigated fetus Rubicon that claimed my transfer case last year!

With getting the trail done so quickly ended up heading back to Alberta and wheeling in Crowsnest for 2 days.

On to the pics

Thanks for adding more pics! You are a camera ninja, still trying to figure out how your camera took the picture with you spotting me!

 

Any new updates? Man, looking at all those rigs with RTT's is really making me want one now...

 

really like that front bumper!! good looking truck!

 

No new updates, just been putting highway miles on, and now with a company vehicle the truck has been hiding out in the parkade. If you do any camping get a RTT, you will not regret it. Camping is a breeze and having a tent and mattress off the ground keeps you warm and dry.

Thanks!

Truck is in winter mode now, tent is off and stored, recovery gear is within quick reach, and recovery box is fully restocked.

 

maybe you answered it in an earlier post but where did you relocate your turn signals? id love to mount a blazer where you did its a great idea!

 

The turn signals were relocated to the running lights on the outside of the headlight. I also replaced the bulbs with LED bulbs to increase the brightness of the turn signal.

It is a great spot for the blazers but its an absolute nightmare to get them properly mounted and aim.

 

Well as of Oct 1, 2014 I have had my truck for 6 years..... man has it ever changed!

Really haven't done anything lately to the truck except clean up the rust that has started to appear, put a ton of km's on it (just rolled over 215,000 km) pulled the light forces and front light hoop, spent 25 nights in the tent.

Only upcoming addition will be round 2 of the headlights (in the process of being built) and pulling the front bumper to grind it down and repaint it.

 

Well I guess I have been a dud lately, haven't really done much to the truck, took the bumpers off to have them re-powder coated, broke a mount on the Light Forces and still waiting for a part since May, my TJM winch had been acting up, and that is out waiting on warranty. I got my hands on a set of 285/70/17 Duratracs which will be going back onto the truck in the next week, and hopefully a road trip in the future.

I recently switched jobs so I haven't had a chance to get out and wheel much lately, been camping a few times but nothing post worthy, been using my truck as a firewood hauler to get ready for winter.





Now its time to start planning the next mods, or trips!

 

Truck is all back together and ready for another summer of camping. I had the steering rack replaced and along with that, new inner and outer tie rods, and new CV axle on the driver side (boot was torn to hell), my winch is back in, the new battery (950 cold cranking amps) is wired, and just waiting on a blue sea fuse box to clean up the wiring and the snow to stop (yeah, I got 4" here last night) then I can get out and have some fun!

 

Glad to see you posting, your truck was one of my inspirations.

 

Thanks, Its good to hear that someone has learned from my mistakes! LOL.

I think everyone on here has taken inspiration from someone else, its good to hear that I helped inspire you in someway.

 

Time to have a little fun..... Ordered a blue sea fuse block on Amazon to try and clean up the rats nest that is the wiring on my battery, so going to try my hand at electrical.... (one thing that has always caused me struggles), and I have a great pair of weatherTech floomats, but I need to trim the driver so it doesn't catch on the clutch.

The good news is that skiing is winding down, so the tent can go back on the truck, and I can get ready to get out and fish, camp and get lost in a new area around Kimberley and Cranbrook. Lots to explore, and I am pumped about this summer!

 

I'm getting excited! heading out to Crowsnest to wheel this weekend, camp and catch up with the guys (and gals) from Untitled Offroad. Its been too long since I have had a chance to wheel with a group, and I'm looking forward to it.

 

Love the license plate!

 

Diggin the hood decal. Unique location!

 

Its been a while since I posted so I figured I would do a quick update.

Truck has been running great as a daily driver/adventurer as of late, been converted to a paddleboard carrier too. Just been camping when I can and putting the miles on.

Updates are: new shoes - Toyo Open Country R/T's 285/70/17 and a ARQ4WD 270 awning on the driver side.

A little snowy after the 11" we got Oct 2

New Shoes

A first for me, guess the miles are showing

Hitting a Major Milestone

Current camping Set up, and love it!

And a few from a road trip end of Sept
