Bend, Oregon

I feel really bad for his wallet

 

I really dont know what happened... At some point this winter this build started and has just kept going. I had no intention when i bought this truck to mod the hell out of it, just a simple lift and tires. Now I have F/R arb lockers, OBA, RTT, 2 Awnings, canopy, 2 sets of wheels and tires, I have done the suspension twice, Sliders, bumpers, skids blah blah blah and my truck is just under 20,000 miles. I now have the truck of my dreams and I am broke...

 

We are going to be down in the Bend area for the 4th of July long weekend. I hear there is a drive up to Broken Top, with a hike to the top. Anyone have anymore details on this they could share? We will be camping at Suttle Lake.

 

Hey GSPRunner, I've only been here a year and don't know a lot about the back roads/2 trackin, but Id like to know more. Suttle lake is really nice.

Packasport gone. Enter camp time. I got a lower annex not pictured as well. Paid $25 more than what I got out of the packasport. Made $75 on the packasport. Im pretty happy with what I got for the coin. Now I just need to figure out where to camp.

 

Suttle Lake was nice, we camped there last year over the 4th and enjoyed it so
much we thought we'd do it again this year!

 

That's a kick ass setup! Is that a tent behind your rig too?

 

Thanks! Yeah my buddies 4Runner with a CVT is parked behind me

 

My new rig as of yesterday.

 

Any recommendations on a day camp spot where i could take my wife and kids for a day of private river access? I'd like to kick the tent out and take a nap, let the kids play/float in the river. Maybe pack some meat and grill a burger.

 

Last time I was in Lapine I went to the campground that's out there. Just before you get to the campground entrance (on left ) hang a right on the dirt road. Drive to the powerlines and turn left, follow them to the river.

 

I Just saw you the other day!

 

This^^^^^^, plus in the general area there's another lake (smallish) that has some nice sized trout. I'll have to find my map with that particular X on it. I'll put a copy on your truck if I don't see you milling about the lot.

We should have another meet up / trail run or something. Wednesday is my last test for school. And I might get called out to a fire soon.

 

I have airbags! Met tacojava today, and he found airbags in my rear suspension! ! Bonus! Thanks tacojava

 

Did you try them already?

 

I put on airbags last week. Made a video of them in action. Check it out.

Here is a link to the trail head, take cascade lakes highway past bachelor, turn onto the 370 road to Todd Lake (you go past it), then take the 380 road to the trail head. The forest service has the road closed pretty far into summer due to snow. There is a hike from Todd Lake but I think it ends up being 30 miles or something crazy like that... Anywhoo: https://goo.gl/maps/G4qKf7eA1zM2

 

Thanks Sir

 

airbags are great, i have them......i need to cut up some spacers to extend the bottom mount to touch the axle. Maybe a project for the weekend if the weather is good.
