November 2017 Jumpin! Jack Flash, it's a Gas Gas Gas Two full days. Lots of swearing, some busted knuckles, and a couple of Homer Simpson "Doh!" moments and it's in - despite the rain and cold. The 34 gallon Long Range Automotive gas tank is in. And the truck still runs! I'll apologize now...

More from 2017 Here, I did a thing, finally....Here is a brief photo synopsis of our 9 Day GWNF trip (linky to it's thread) Campsites Rocks Different Rocks Fire Towers

Wow, OK it's been a while here, but let's update this thread here beginning about a year ago.... Sept 13, 2017 Two small modifications down. Added the Unifilter to that, that, that, whatever you call it thing on the passenger side. You know the one that eats its own filter after a while and...

Yes it was a mess. W had to winch one large tree off the road, cut a smaller one and drove over another one. Looked like we were the first to take Dunkle Hollow in some time. There was a big washout at the last switchback that caused us a little trouble, that's where we cut the tree and moved it...

We use a Norcold DE750 in our teardrop. It's performed flawlessly for 6 years and 15,000 miles of use. Our model had been discontinued but it's very similar to this one https://www.westmarine.com/buy/norcold--universal-voltage-marine-refrigerator-black-2-7-cu-ft--14000830 Sent from my SM-G900V...

I took photos of it.....Hope that works for you Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

Not sure what you need. I bought two of those outlets (one for each side of the truck) from Wal-Mart in their automotive section. They are screwed into the metal wall that makes the factory under seat storage. The wiring passes through a factory hole in the storage box. The ground wires are...

I bought a new Tacoma Baja in 2014. It's slowly being built into the trailer towing camping ride. The tundra is still my daily driver and has become the weekend kayak hauler, as well as hauling anything else we need(mulch, freezers, catfish, etc). It gets out to the woods less often but it's...

Yes! The el cheapo Amazon lights work great! My steering rack decided to blow a home in itself. So I replaced it with another amazon cheap find. Detroit Axle rack with inner tie rods for $224 +free shipping. Worst part of that job was removing the rusted coupler that mated the rack to the...

Nicely done! Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

Including replacing the trailer tongue, we have about $23,000 and change in it. In the years since completion we've spent 104 nights in it and it has traveled over 14,000 miles. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

Storage is one reason why we built or teardrop. We were originally going to put a track on the roof and use storage boxes. Before the build even began we sized up to the idea of basement storage. It adds a foot to the overall height of the trailer ( but that's less than a rack and boxes would...

Truck and teardrop after a fun 9 days in GWNF Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

The night was pleasant. I gotta say the weather was perfect for camping. We left off the rain fly from the tent so we could watch the moon, stars and trees. Breakfst Sunday morning was fresh coffee and an egg sammich on a bagel We showered in the cool water of our portable "camp shower"...

The weekend of June 10th we took a quick trip to explore some camping options (for a future trip) in a couple of different sections of GWNF. We wanted to stay light (as light as I can be ) and maneuverable (as maneuverable as I can be ) because we were going to put a ton of road and forest road...

They're just cheap amazon replacements. 50 bucks for the pair with bulbs in them! Haven't used them at night yet so idk how they compare. Sent from my RCT6973W43 using Tapatalk

Well, we're now at 262,000 miles and rolling right along. We have replaced the radiator ($105) because the original decided it wanted to leak from the top tank and spray antifreeze all over the engine. And I've replaced the headlights. Not absolutely necessary but after years of spending time...

I got a decent night shot of the teardrop. Me and the fam at the wedding reception. My son and daughter had gotten out of college for the semester days earlier. Beth looks gorgeous in that new dress! ...and for some unknown reason, this peacock showed up at my inlaws and decided he had a new...
