Back in business. Can't believe how long it's been since I even logged in here. Did a lot of life things while the truck sat around, waiting for me to work on it. A high maintenance car led to driving in winter, turned all the tube orange, so I said f-it and kept driving it, since I want to...

I guess it really has been that long. Life gets in the way sometimes, but I can't really complain...it's been good. Finally getting around to wrenching again, getting on a few trails. No idea where to even start...truck has no bed, long travel is valved pretty good, it's time to wrap up the...

It's Rhino Liner, to protect the roof from trees, kayaks, and whatever else. White was apparently the only color they couldn't do, and the Line-X shop in Dayton wouldn't even do it because it wasn't a bed, which was apparently all they could figure out how to spray, so...it's black. I s'pose...

After the regear and new rear axle, before the LT: Drivetrain and new front suspension, this is the trip where I broke the old shackle hangers... Removing stuff: Got a new toy to speed the building process: That is all for now...the old pictures are stored somewhere, not gonna bother...

Truck before the LT, hybrid rear and lockers etc.: All the stuff in the bed is strapped down to the D-rings I mentioned in an earlier post.

Pictures from the past. Seats...they were cleaner when I first set them up.

Sorry guys, all the older photos were linked to the old TundraSolutions photo gallery, which was taken down a while back...I guess I need to get some new pictures. Not even sure if I have copies on a computer somewhere, of the older pictures when I was building up the new rear axle :(.

Haven't updated in a while, just had so much stuff to do that this is going really slowly. Right now it looks like this. I plan to have it sitting on its own suspension in the next couple weeks, so I can sort out the shock mounts. Too much work, too little time. The plan is still the same...

Anyone interested? I run stuff like Eldorado Canyon's Rattlesnake Gulch, the connector between Eldo & Walker Ranch, the trail around the mesa from Coalton Road out to Marshall Mesa and back, and I plan to do some running at Golden Gate State Park, Walker Ranch loop, White Ranch, Bear/S. Boulder...

Yeah Bloo the writeup was friggin hilarious :elkgrin:...but only about 30-some people saw it before it was axed :hehe:. There are some pictures of the flashlight setup on TTORA in the expedition section, it's buried in the thread about the water bags in the backs of my seats. Sorry about all...

Some notes... "Marine" use and deep cycling...95% vs 80% vs 50% and internal construction explained a bit Quick Odyssey spec sheet Also note regarding the Odyssey batteries, they'll take a huge current inrush, but with a maximum voltage. Over that voltage and they're effectively ruined...

OH! :hehe: Man, I felt so guilty, I thought it was my fault! :eek: Steve, I really liked your writeup re: culture, and the links. I don't suppose you had the opportunity to experience the Fly By Night Club while you were there :D...or are they finally, officially out of business? They've...

I actually started back in December, when I weighed in at... Starting weight: A hundred and ninety-two pounds! :eek: (~178 @ beginning of March) Goal for the Month: <175 Overall goal: 53 mountains, all over 14,000ft altitude, and a total of around 100 mountains over 13,000ft altitude...

CJ Cherryh (and the contributors to Thieves' World) always wrote the best heroines..."reckless women with razor blades and dice in their eyes" kind of girls :D. If you wanna start that thread over by the campfire I'm sure the three of us can keep it running :elkgrin:! Signature line material...

Ah-HA! That is a dead ringer for the vehicle I saw headed in to Boulder, CO a while back...maybe 3-6 weeks ago. At least, it was that same setup.

Air down times eleventybillion :elkgrin:. Makes about 20-30mph worth of difference. Just mind you check the sidewalls for heat...the combination of speed and low pressure will destroy a tire, so the lower you go, the slower you go as well. For our oft-loaded vehicles, a large-volume damper...

Thanks Mark! Glad all that stuff still helps someone...honestly I figured it didn't get much use, now that the 2nd-gens are out. ...Leiber's "Lankhmar" stories are some of my all-time favorites :victory:. Gonna hafta go dig 'em up now for a re-read :friday:...good stuff! I spent many hours...

Looks good! One question...do you also have a vehicle (probably a wicked fast two-seater) called "Gray Mouser"? Just askin'. Remember Ool Hrusp, Sean

Great photos! Moab is certainly one of my favorite winter destinations :sombrero:. There's an awesome frozen waterfall that forms near the Syncline Loop hiking trail, accessed from White Rim trail. Kinda hard to reach, tho, since you have to pick the right day. Mineral Bottom wasn't gated...

Would anyone be interested in a fairly easy winter ascent? Quandry?
