Well I had a good weekend.

Maiden Voyage was a success. So many forest roads so little time...

After flipping back and forth on roof rack vs receiver basket I bit the bullet on a heck of a deal on a receiver basket. Got it on amazon for $40, considering it was listed at $90, I picked a "used" one supposedly w/ damaged packaging. We'll see how it works. Taking my the kick out on it's first...

Older pic of me age 10-ish. With my "girl friend" on a glacier.

Finally got some tunes set up. Just a cheapy stereo that was given to me but it works good enough. Plus this thing is going to spend a lot of time parked at the trail head, don't want prying eyes to see some fancy $100-$200 stereo. Let alone make off with one. Also some new art, now it's a...

I've been using these for about a month now and all I can say is they are awesome for the price (Free!) I have a relative who works in produce at a grocery store and he turned me onto these nifty little totes that beans come in. They have stacks and stacks of them so I went in and grabbed some...

For size a diesel Ford Excursion would be perfect for what you are wanting. They can be found in the 15-25k range. Which leaves plenty of room for improvements. I've seen reports of them getting 900 miles on a tank. Down sides, I've had one. I remember driving on the forest roads around our...

Picked up a cool little gadget today at the junk yard from an old 4WD Toyota Tercel. At $16 I thought it was a little much for a little gage cluster but after some research it turns out they go over $100 on ebay, so i guess i got a heck of a deal. Not mine but it's identical. Tested the wiring...

Thanks. Got to deal w/ the mechanicals first. but I cant wait to start with the fun stuff.

I would pick a compact glock 19/23 , still big enough to be hand filling, more than twice the rounds of a 1911. And the real world differences in damage between the .45acp and 9mm or .40sw are very slim. Look here, http://www.buckeyefirearms.org/handgun-stopping-power I know you said you would...

More tinkering today, cleaning the intake. first off was the MAF and air filter....yea definitely needed.

.22lr (via ruger 10-22 and marlin papoose) .223 (via saiga ak) 12ga, (via 870 knockoff) 7.62x54r (via m44 mosin nagant) 9mm and .40sw ( via glock 23 with 9mm conversion barrel)

Central Oregon....

Pulled and cleaned the egr, it was pretty dirty and the diaphragm was stuck. Seemed to help the engine a little bit. however it does still seem to idle a bit rough. Next i'll pull the intake and give it a thorough cleaning.
