    Your trucks looking good. Seems like it was just yesterday that it was hitting trees and falling apart

    Is your front end still held together with bailing wire and zip ties?

    Some pics wheeling at Slick Rock OHV a few weekends ago. Had to winch a bunch at the new obstacle. Definitely need to upgrade my winch since I’ve added a whole lot of weight. Even doubling back with a snatch block wasn’t enough sometimes.

    In other news, I’ve upgraded to a custom Deaver pack rated at 1200lbs over stock

    6D14C788-3711-4AD7-975A-12E0032CFA05.jpg

    And in the process I had to swap out the beefy BAMF hanger with a replacement since I bent it pretty bad at Slick Rock (probably in that last pic - the night one). With it slightly off, the bolt that goes through can’t fasten into the welded nut in there. The damage would have been a lot worse with the flimsy OEM hangers

    I also got rid of the ATO rear bumper and have a Relentless Fabrication bumper on the way

    I had the guys at Vagabond Outdoors add insulation to the Drifter and I swapped out the warped OEM bed caps with KB VooDoo ones. Should have done this from the start!

    How many cushions do you need to remove to close the top of your camper?
