The trekker belongs to a friend of mine. He bought it after high school down in VA, on the drive home to NH the transfercase (full of water) seised driving up I95 at 1:30am (basically E-brakeing, at 70, at 1:30am). The previous owner just happen to have one in a pile of spare parts in the back...

D45 - I used the existing 8ga. wire and 35A inline fuse the amp/subs were hooked up to. I would have run some huge overkill wires but it was already routed, and the inverter only came with short 8ga. wire with clamps on the end. I've only used it a hand full of times, mostly to charge my dewalt...

Update with the Dodge; 285 BFG AT's... Even with all the new picky / whisker / spikey things still intact on the tread, it wasn't enough to keep me from getting stuck. They are a huge improvement over any of the old 235's it has ran and I can finally keep up with 70mph traffic with out tacking...

After an incident that left me nearly camperless only 4 days after I had quit my job to start a new chapter in life full of traveling, adventure, and all good things. I'm finally getting back to focusing on and making progress with the camper and feel some worthiness of posting an update. The...

riveroceanandmountain, I know how you feel about the lack of feedback, I always thought out of the 1000's of people viewing my build thread there would be more... feedback, conversation, ideas/suggestions, critiquing, nay saying... I guess I'm not sure what I was looking for or expecting...

I bought 4 BFGoodrich 285/75R16E A/T KO's from Sears today. $270 EA. mounted, lifetime balance, HP valve stems, Road Hazard.... Every mechanic stopped what their doing as it pulled in, and stopped to watch the truck leave the garage. They dragged me into the shop to talk about the truck, Hub...

Regcabuy - A Pacbrake is on my wish list. With the bigger two-piston Ford calipers and bigger rear wheel cylinders it actually stops quicker than lightning. I haven't had the camper in the back since I finished the brake system but I'll be sure to extensively test it once it's fully loaded and...

And thats pretty much it. All of the other photos I have a camper in the back! Start of RT 1 in Key West Daytona Beach, tough day... Drove all of Skyline Drive and Blue Ridge Parkway All 9000lbs shredding Grandfather Mountain in "level 1: fuel saver" mode. I admit, I'm a dink :roost...

magilla, here are a couple more pictures from the earlier part of last year. I'll keep digging up more. I am really considering your offer for checking out the Mammoth area, I'll keep in touch as I make my way west. I tried to meet up with a friend hiking the Appalachian Trail in 3 different...

gsanders -- Thanks for the advice and compliments. I'm kinda bummed about leaving the zodiac behind but I've realized it isn't too realistic, and might get me into "bad" situations traveling alone. On the truck squat, I have a 3 leaf + bottom overload pack with the gigantic stock blocks. I...

Also, sorry gsanders and Spencinator. After realizing what I had just done, I resorted to some Woodford Reserve and will have to reply at another time.

Welp, today I went topless... As the snow flies, On a cold and grey New Hampshire mornin... In the ghetto (in the ghettooo) Water must have somehow got under, froze, expanded, and cracked a few areas. The 13' 6" crack down the middle seam might be why the roof is so water logged and...

Thanks for the compliments guys! It's my first attempt at making a decent TR and I think it came out fairly well for being quickly thrown together. It could have been re-edited and refined over time making it more well rounded but like I mentioned, I have to get my shizzle together and start a...

After checking out the lighthouse and preparing for the next day, I headed back towards town to see what New Year's Eve in Lubec is all about. Showing up at night I found it was a tiny fishing town with only a tavern and a bar open. I went to the "Eastern Most Tavern" for a drink with the locals...

It was a long weekend of dodging snowplows and shovelers. New England was coated with 3-6" of fresh cold, squeeky snow and freezing temperatures, so I brushed off the rig and let 'er warm up before setting off towards Downeast Maine for a 3 day New Year's trip. I've been visiting Acadia NP for...

Just wrapping up my Trip Report I'll post Wednesday for our 1 year anniversary :friday:. Not sure if its too long or detailed but I figure I'll get replies and suggestions for any others I may do. Had some left over pictures that didn't make it into the story, someone might enjoy them...

Spencinator Thanks, although traveling with the dirtbike is looking less and less realistic. :( After the next report I'll post any other photos you'd like to see. Even for a short weekend adventure, I'm finding that it's taking some effort to attempt making a 1/2 decent trip report. Writing...

Mighty Dodge Ram, If your banker hasn't figured it out, you need a separate account just for the Dodge. I have a hand full of friends in Tahoe City that work/groom at the mountains. It does sound pretty epic. Rbertalotto, I've debated towing a trailer but I want to try and keep it to what...

So come on, hundreds of views and no comments? No; "I too, have imagined packing my favorite hobbies into the truck and hitting the open road following my hearts desire?" or "suck it up kid, thats life and sometimes it sucks?" On other fourms I would have had 50 people ragging on me before a...
