More pics of the rear bar in process. As we progress improvements are made and the quality will slowly reflect this. I wanted to share these “rough” pics to capture the development of ideas from how a local, Guatemalan garage not known for being a 4x4 shop evolves and adapts its approach from...
Change of plans (again). We were able to find the material. She’s coming along nicely. Still a few details to sort out, but overall I’m happy with this “first draft”.

Bummer of news this morning. The garage can't find the De-Sta-Co pull action clamps needed for the swing-outs. I'll have to bring some back from the States in November when I travel home for the Thanksgiving holiday. Oh well, that's part of the challenge of building a rig in a developing...
Thanks. That’s precisely what I got them for. I’ll only use the treps for trips into the Peten jungle. For daily driving and light 4x4ing, I’ll keep the Coops on. Can’t wait to get some mud on the treps! Have a few other goodies on the way, too!

Took off the rear bumper. I’m looking to add either a dual-tire swing out bumper or one tire swing out with a ladder. Examples are below.
Also just ordered a pair of adjustable upper control arms from Dobinsons.

Losing a dog is never easy. It wouldn’t hurt so much if they didn’t love us so much. And if every person acted the way our dogs see us, the world would be a better place.
Sorry for your loss. I hope your boy is running free across that rainbow bridge.

Love the show. Watch it all the time. I think in the States we tend to overkill with our gadgets and equipment. Going out to the bush shouldn’t mean adding 500+ lbs of equipment to your vehicle. If you watch Dahl’s recent videos, his rebuild is designed around less weight. I just went through...
For years, I would carry my 100lb Ridgebacks in my arms as I climbed the stairs into the RTT. Eventually they got the hang of it. My GSD always likes to sleep on the ground or in the cargo area of my rig, and he is 110lb. I just ditched my RTT and returned to a ground tent (Marmot limestone 8P)...
