I once did the passport turnaround! I was in Anchorage, AK heading through Canada to Juneau, thankfully remembered my passport about 45 min from home, but the ramifications would have been a full day burned and the trip likely toast.

I've had it installed for about 2 years now, and have used it about 40-50 times for light/mild pulls. So far no issues. I keep a neoprene cover over it when not in use.

I'm giving it a shot and so far it's worked as expected compared to some of my other more expensive winches. Time will tell on longevity, but I've used it quite a bit without any issue at all. I've heard it might be worthwhile to pop it apart and grease, or ensure there's grease, on the...

I do like that the OEM Grenedier one has hole provisions for the bolt on hitch styles. But if you're never going to use one of those then a more flush receiver would make sense.

Your post made me think of this - I listened to an episode of Wheel Every Weekend podcast and I believe he's building a Trailblazer to race in the stock class at King of the Hammers: https://wheeleveryweekend.buzzsprout.com/946198/episodes/17702227-untitled-episode-3-3-fast-3-episode-family...

I basically have this setup: Foldable camping toilet and privacy tent. I then use Walmart WAG bags. I place used ones in a dry bag that is usually strapped outside the vehicle.

Those tube fenders turned out great! I wonder how something like that would look on my 1st gen Tacoma... I haven't seen anyone do it, but the OEM fenders are unobtanium.

Starting to feel like spring!

Is the best place to watch the Dakar not-live on YouTube? I've always wanted to watch, but I'm unsure where to watch. All I find on YouTube are clips and old stuff.

Recent pic of a quick trip to the Hoh Rainforest in Washington. Since I've never seen a pic/vid of anyone using a hatch ladder with a RTT. It works well, only downside is with multiple people (me/wife/kid) you limit getting in/out of the tent since it requires the hatch closed which is also...

Just a little food for thought too- My 285 BFGoodrich KO3 are an entire inch skinner than my 285 Duratracs. Differences in manufactures and all that. But pretty shocking to measure the actual difference.

They're 1x2 little cube (rectangle) lights... I don't know if the aesthetic would work. I think I'm gonna give ditch lights a go and see if that works well enough for me. Otherwise I'll cut holes in the bumper and recess them but that's more work haha.

Post-Tahuya. I need to figure out a good spot to put some 1x2 or 2x2 pod lights on the front end. I'm having a hard time finding a good spot. I kinda like the clean solid front bumper and don't wanna cut holes in it.

A buddy of mine lives in Sweden and has used a tent with an open bottom like this for many years. His area of Sweden is pretty dry, but still he finds he HAS to dry the tent out thoroughly before closing it up using a diesel heater. I live in the PNW and agree, I don't know if an open bottom...
