    So far from it seems much better. It wasn't bad before. I'll see how it handles the normal FWY commute tomorrow...waiting for next month to get it off-road.

    A bit of an update...It works! My cheap awning was fairly successful. It was pretty windy this past weekend on the White Mountains. Other than the telescoping poles all the parts can be found at most hardware stores. I want to get a second set of tarp poles in order to keep it horizontal instead of slanted down. Also want to find a 6x20 tarp to extend it further out for more shade. Really happy with this as of now. The true test will be in Death Valley where the "W" thing can be fierce.

    The suspension upgrade is great. Took it up to Coyote Flats and it performed quite well. I think with the weight of my camper loaded for a trip the Timbrens in the rear would be a better option.

    A raven got to it while I was in the bathroom but apparently didn't like it. I ate half and a coyote dragged the other half out of the fire pit.

    @ETAV8R - you've got the best truck+camper combo i've come across... if you ever grow old of that finch of yours, i'll gladly take it off your hands... just name your price.
