    Need Advice: '21 F150 XLT mods (and woes)

    Truck looks sick! my vote would be keep the size and cut the wheelwell (is it the plastic or does it rub on the front crash bars?)

    Democratic Republic of Congo: Lubumbashi to Kinshasa

    Yeah I can right click a picture and get it to open in a separate window, but they show up as nothing when i scroll through the thread. Windows 10 FWIW. Tried on chrome and edge. Just tried now on internet explorer. It worked on that. So if you cant see the pics, try IE.

    First time snow camping in our Vanagon!

    Awesome photos. Really jonesing snow-free camping right now. Funny how you guys set out looking for snow. Here i am sitting in a ski town in canada, staring at 2 feet of snow in my yard, wishing for desert camping. You always want what you dont have. Anyway I was just making a note of the name...

    1992 Dodge W250 Cummins / VW Vanagon Abomination *MAY CAUSE BLINDNESS*

    awesome. I watched your other trailer build since i have been comtemplating something similar. This one is a seriously ambitious project. But that final layout is an absolute perfect setup (saying this as a van guy that also has a full size pickup.) best of both!

    So, are all the pic links down now? Just went to share this story with someone and was disappointed to see no pics.

    We did a nice singletrack loop, the views were amazing along the height of the grasslands The network of grassy doubletrack was also a lot of fun to drive On the plus side, all of the rain in the spring made for nice wildflowers. This area would usually be dry and brown in mid...

    The next campsite we hit was the rec site at Lundbom lake. This was a popular place, and we were lucky to get a spot at all, let along one with lakefront. We’ll take it! The nice thing about camping in a van/small trailer/”expo rig” is that all the guys with big trailers cant fit into the good...

    Next stop was the Oregon Jack provincial park, which was only 5 mins down the logging road. We hooked the trailer up and went back through that same mudhole. Made it in one try this time thanks to a slightly better route choice. We stopped in at Oregon Jack and it sure was amazing. No...

    Looks great. Most ski areas seem to have gated access so I never even gave it a thought actually. I'll have to check that out on the way by one day. Thanks

    Something Completely Different : BC 2020

    The day dawned sunny, so after a good breakfast and some time for the kids to run around in the grass, we left the trailer, loaded into the suby, and headed up. We switchbacked through steeper but drier roads, with nothing like the mudhole we had dragged the trailer through down below. As we...

    Yeah its pretty sweet. Have you done the christian valley? (parallel route up north from westbridge). I think camping wise its got some nicer spots along the way. (Aside from the bluejoint/granby fork detour on the granby route). Both good thru routes.

    Yeah call me old school but i love a good old fashioned trip report with text and photos. It takes time to write and ******** around but the journal aspect of it brings me a lot of joy in reminiscing. And also, for me its the best way to read other peoples reports too. I can take it a few...

    Part 2: My work rotation went fairly quickly, since I spent most of it in the field, with my few office days mostly spent trying to not spend too much time on google earth planning routes. Anyway, we left from Kamloops and headed to Logan Lake, where we spent a couple cold nights visiting...

    old beat up Isuzu Trooper finds a new purpose in life

    Love this build. I've thought about the roof cut to rooftop tent many times. Glad to see someone do it, looks like a fun rig

    Thanks man. Lug nut swap was a surprising pain in the ass actually. Also, I won’t be posting any updates for a week or so. We took a surprise short notice trip to the Rockies and aren’t back until after the weekend. But yeah get out in the suby! They are so fun and surprisingly capable
