I'll see your composite tank and raise you a composite Ignik.

Plenty to see and do in Prescott. I did a bit of the Senator Highway awhile back and then headed up to the Grand Canyon from there. I'd love to get back there and explore more of the Prescott NF. Some pictures here: Link

Fantastic build thread! Love seeing the Sequoia out there in the wild. I recently traded my 2016 Tacoma in for an 09 Sequoia and absolutely love it. The information in your thread has been very helpful as I prepare to make suspension upgrades. Any future plans?

Thanks for following along! Before the year is out I'll be back in California and Texas before hitting Duluth MN at the end of January. I'll have some new stuff up soon enough.

I spent last weekend exploring Pickens Nose in NC, getting stung by bees and stalked by a silent bird. The full write up is on the blog at gbexpeditions.com . It was an excellent weekend and I got the chance to make some great memories with my daughter.

Thanks! I love my job, and the travel is a huge perk!

Stay with Toyota. Chrysler is running jeep into the ground (or the mall parking lot).

Why not both?

I did a brief stint in Seattle last week and had an afternoon to go out and explore. There's a short blurb about it over on gbexpeditions.com. Beautiful area and a great escape from the horrors that are Seattle traffic. Los Angeles has nothing on the chaos and utter failure that is Seattle...

Wow. I've been debating pulling the trigger on about $6k worth of stuff from CBI, but now that I've seen your front bumper design I think I'll hold off until you're done putting together everything else. Great looking design on the front bumper!

I'm lighting my torch.

Thanks! I see you're from Tilton. I've been through there a number of times and did some work in Littleton north of you and Hooksett to the south. I need to get back up that way and do some more exploring.

Snowmelt from the mountains had filled seasonal streams and there was water everywhere. I parked in the lot at Whitney Portal at the end of the road. There's a small store here that makes food for part of the day and offers any of those small items that hikers may have forgotten to pack...

Recent rains in the area had brought out plenty of blooms. As I travel I capture pictures of flowers and send them to my wife via email. She doesn't like real flowers as a gift as she says they die too quickly. Digital flowers last forever (or until the storage medium fails). I explored...

Because I like to drive I made a day trip out of the Alabama Hills area yesterday. Only 10 1/2 hours of driving round trip. On the way up I stopped to checkout Fossil Falls and the Little Lake Overlook. The wind was so strong there that I could lean into it at times and it would nearly...

I hit the visitor center on the way out and asked about dispersed camping in the Coconino National Forest. They suggested following the NF road just across the highway and camping in one of the many sites there. After crossing the highway and entering the forest many of the sites closest to...

After getting to Mayer I still had most of a Saturday and part of Sunday to finish off. What's a rambling fella to do? I seemed to remember there was a big hole in the ground just north of Mayer and I struck out to find it. ("Just north of Mayer" in this case means 2 hours or so.) Thanks to...

As I cleared the top of the ridge my intention was simply to head down to the turn off that exits the Prescott NF and dumps you into the town of Mayer. The sunrise convinced me to stick around and explore some more though. I'm glad I did. With the strange evening behind me and a quick...

So on Friday morning I got stuck in San Diego waiting for a delivery and had a later start than I would have liked. After grabbing a package from the UPS driver I headed east on I-8 trying to reach Prescott as early as possible. On the way I took in the scenery. What do you do with land to...

On the m101a2's it's a huge weight savings to drop the surge brake equipped axle, particularly if the surge brakes no longer function. Removing the axle, hubs, brake assembly, master cylinder and lunette/pintle assembly comes out to a couple hundred pounds in savings. Putting a Dexter EZ Lube...
