That sounds perfectly reasonable to me! That’s a pretty solid payload. Think of all the fuel stops you can avoid! Which is long term savings? 😂

Rocking around the Dakotas for a couple weeks. Do love sunrises and sunsets here

No new work done, but at least getting some engine run time

Nearly all my stuff that requires a AA or AAA is now on rechargeable. I’ve been using the energizer ones for several years with no complaints. I just do a mental note to pull and charge once a week or so, and at least for my helmet AA, carry a fully charged backup set in my pocket. But at this...

If I was spending your money… Ram 2500 rebel with hemi. Add winch and you’re only missing a couple fun toys from the PW from factory, but with twice the payload. I just put rebel springs on my PW to handle the camper we bought (about $82000 cheaper than buying a new truck), and I’ll say that...

Another run to the Kenai, just the wife and I this time. Some longer hikes and more beer.

Quick weekend run to the Kenai (again). No kiddo this time, took advantage of the opportunity to drive and explore more

My plan is to ditch the legs once we have things sorted, probably rolling into next season. I only see them as something I’ll damage at some point otherwise. Not to mention our daughter already full-tilt sprinted into one last week. 🫣 The plan is to pretty much leave it installed for 8-9mo out...

You can land anywhere once, right? 😜 Edit…. Ah. That crash. I’m not sure of the super deep particulars on the repairs. I know the pilot from the incident and know there was a lot of work done before being brought into our company. Definitely where you put trust in your maintenance team. But...

Fall hath arrived.

Exit Glacier area, Kenai Penninsula

Got to spend a little time out west myself last week. I missed landing on snow and glaciers. Denali out in the distance (peak on the right)

Weekend trip to the Kenai

Cool rainy weekend on the Kenai. Much better handling outta the truck.

Quick weekend trip to the Kenai

Well… rebel springs and airbags installed. Camper back on and quick test drive. Certainly better behaved. Heading out tomorrow for a couple days. Game on. Measured everything out, and even without air in the bags, quite an improvement in how it settled. I’d lost over 3” out of the rear on the...

Awesome! Where’d you get out to? I hear ya. I have to go fly a contract in ND in Oct back in the R44. Certainly not the same as a Astar B3e that I’m flying this week 😂

Possibly! My wife and kiddo were down near Seward a couple weekends ago. Hoping to get out onto the kenai again this weekend if I can make time to swap the springs on the truck in the next couple days (something something work work). How was your time up here?!

That’s awesome! Yep. Probably overkill. Honestly, I will probably pop on the springs first and see what the camper does, then do the bags if I still feel it’s needed. We still want to add a few things to our setup, so weight won’t be going down, so who knows. 😂

I’ll be interested to see how even just the Rebel suspension changes it. It’s certainly a big component towards the 2700lb payload (1400lbs more than our PW) on the VIN I ordered it from. But yeah, those bags should help with the camper and I got the daystar cradles too. I have a small...
