    Today was a good day. Finally it stopped raining and I was able to mount my solar panel and wire everything in place. Got myself a 250w 20A panel that will give me all the power I need to stay on the road and in the bush until we run out of food or things to hunt. Everything is coming together...

    Got a truck, a four wheel camper, and getting ready to hit the road

    It totally was worth doing all the work. It drives amazing now, not that it did not before but you can't beat knowing that your whole front end is good to go before hitting the road for a year. Got the truck aligned at the shop, and changed the front and read differential fluids. the last thing...

    Got a truck, a four wheel camper, and getting ready to hit the road

    It totally is the best ford diesel engine. Its awesome. and I agree, you can start a diesel many ways but its nice to know that if anything is inserted into the ignition mechanism, the hood is opened, or your too close to the rig.. the alarm will go off :-)

The dog idea is a great one too! haha the wife and I actually thought about getting a dog and bringing him along, but I think that we will get restricted by having one. Guns.. Always! I...

    Added some airbags to the rear to bring that ******** up. had to modify how the airbags attached to the springs because the mounts that came with it did not fit the pickup ... looks like the closest match to fit is actually for t-100 pickups.

    1985 TOYOTA MULE BUILD

    The mattress that came in it is about 5" and its really confortable and light weight unlike the memory foam mattresses that are being made now days. With the top down, I have about 11 inches give or take so is nice to be able to leave bedding up there for sure.
