The yukon ones were a big disapointment. Kind of cool for me seeing them in areas I've been to or have been wanting to visit though. Also how has it taken me this long to find this thread?!

 

New addition to the truck

 

I was super disappointed with the Yukon ones as well. When is that other show supposed to air filmed here in AK? I seem to recall this October or November on History Channel... Let me dig a little

Here is the thread from alaska4x4network (which for some reason glitches and I cant register for!)

Just got back from a 9 day trip with the family and trailer. Did not take the taco so we went in the wifes 4Runner. Allot more comfortale for the 3,200 mile trip

 

Went to these places on the trip
4 corners
Lake Powell
Grand canyon
Petrified forredt
Meteor crater
White sands
Cadillac Ranch

 

Saw theadventureportal.com's 2nd gen dcsb out at the intersection of El camino Real and Leucadia blvd. in Encinitas, San Diego today at lunch time (12-1-ish). Really nice looking expo truck! Called over saying, "Nice Tacoma!" Is he on here?

Here's a few from one of the CruiserFest "expeditions"

 

love all the different route that were taken heading into cruiserfest this year...hope my schedule allows me to make the trip next year...

 

Whoa, what's the story on that?

 

He explained in one of the cruiserfest threads around here. Something about going too fast, horse trailer, and everyone being okay.

 

Yep, family of 4 lost control through a corner pulling a horse trailer. Flipped the truck and trailer and the trailer landed on top of the truck with the horses inside. Micraculously, nobody, including the horses were seriously hurt.

 

I know it's been a while but I finally got my battery. Thanks again to pelfreybilt and Benbacher for helping me with shipping.



Waiting for a couple more things to finish up wiring in my blueseas aux fuse box

Also got a cvt 99" awning from benbacher for my cargo trailer conversion I'm about to start

 

Damn! That is incredibly lucky.

 

SO I mounted my National Luna single battery monitor to keep an eye on my group 31. Mounted it in my sunglasses holder and the best part is I can still fit a pair of shades in there



Truck off

Truck on and charging

 

not a bad location. glad you got the panel mount version.

 

Nicely done USCG2008.

 

Not sure if I posted these yet, but added some deep ammo cans for storing recovery gear and tools. Just did 2300 miles of mostly dirt and gravel roads, held up fine. No dust inside either.

 

Ya that was the planned location the whole time that's why I went with the flush mount one.

Thanks

 

Not done but I figured Id share.

 

badass build thread?
