    The single burner would be pretty ideal I think:

    Then could always add one of these guys

    I don't have..either of those things really. I mean the table is on Frank and I've driven him 3 times in 2 years and only 1 of those times was for over night trips and we all know how that ended..

    It looks like a cool system, but really not something id want in the back of the truck I think. I'd destroy it. With a topper I can see it working better.

    And yes we are haha but that is one step away from having everything minus the kitchen sink to me..idk. Just me.

    Yeah thats the simple way. But a bit more complicated than that.

    Rear suspension is not good..i mean lets be honest it was a miracle its lasted this long ha that said im getting new shock towers from Archive Garge to help demo them. That'll get me motivated. Which means new leaf springs as the current ones are very badly bent(main leafs). Then theres the front which yes a new spindle and LBJ is all that's needed but I'd rather get the solo spindles and say fuck it. Then there is lots of gusseting that is very over due, coil buckets, cam tabs, front crossmembers, boxing rear frame. I have a bent axle shaft too so need to either decided to get new shafts like Brett did and run stock axle longer, or slap my T100 axle in there which means rebuilding the full axle, OR saying super fuck it and picking up a Ford 9'' axle at the billings junk yard...which ironically would be the cheapest up front but would require a regeared diff and new locker...so its not cheaper haha

    I've not fallen out of love at all. Hell I almost bought a double cab to do this all too. Its not that I don't love Frank as is, it would just be a continuation of Frank in double cab form far as Im concerned. (seriously why the fuck didn't I buy that truck? The blower a lone was worth that cost damn near...so much regret..) I miss Frank a LOT. My biggest issues is I have no means of easily working on him. I cleaned the garage the other day so I could change the oil in the trucks and Devins car. I could work in there I think. However...Frank would NEVER fit hahaha way too tall and WAY too wide. Igor barely has room on one side of the small garage door to walk in and out. Long travel is not fitting in there.

    I have plans and Ideas..just not the space to do them..yet. Hoping that'll change in the next 6-8 months and get a house with a shop or at least a very large garage or decent one that's semi heated. Crossing my fingers to see what my new contract will get me. It all depends on that really.

    Igor's front does decent too. Its the rear that holds me back a lot on him. You can certainly have lots of fun with stock geometery front end.

    Just not as fun as the LT haha plus the part i enjoy is when your going along and suddenly a freaking wash appears out of nowhere and you have to slam on the brakes..don't have to do that really with LT for most things. That is the best part.

    You boys are a long way from “glamping” IMO. To me glamping is taking your 80’ mobile house to the mt with 3 swing out TVs, 4 pull out BBQ’s, 2 hot tubs, 4 RZR’s and letting your 6 generators run all night so you can stay warm and watch TV. Pretty much live like your at home but out in the “wilderness” of a path that allowed you to take that there in the first place.

    Winter always starts after halloween. I don't care wtf the calendar says otherwise haha sometimes before.

    I wish it came around the end of sept and left around April.

    But only if it’d snow a couple inches, melt, and then snow again, in the mountains.


    Would also be nice if the NF around Logan was ran by a bunch of dumbs.
