I don't plan to run air into the camper, there is no real need. The only thing I really need compressed air for is the lockers and airing up the tires. It might be handy to blow out the rad occasionally when it gets packed with debris from overgrown roads. Went for a nice long grouse hunt...

^ Thanks, I'm really looking forward to trying the lockers out in the snow this season. This thing killed another ignition module yesterday... Wife putting in a shift flat towing me home, Pretty well done, minus a few missing parts. Shortened all 3 harnesses to really clean up the install...

and another one, I'm killing it on keeping this up to date lately. Scored a full set of v-bar cam lock chains for this thing for $200 - brand new never used. The fit couldn't be better. Can't wait to knock the paint off these this winter. Time to finally finish up this air locker install...

^ Thanks, I'm really happy with how it came out, it only took me like 5 years to finish this little project haha. Continuing on with the front-end upgrades, something I realized quickly that needed to change was the front coil springs. I originally drank the kool-aid and purchased a set of metal...

Last update and then I've got to go do some more work, Revisiting the hidden winch install. Even with pockets cut out of the winch mount, this is still a heavy package weighing almost 85 lbs without cable. The winch is 50 lbs bare. That being said it's still a hell of a lot lighter than an...

Out for another few days trip hunting, The first day we counted 50 grouse in a few hours, This little spruce grouse party was not shy haha Lunch break with a view Evening campsite by a small lake, can't beat this fall weather. Morning hikes looking for that elusive whitetail buck. We...

Nice buck, good luck out there for rifle season. What actuators did you go with, synchronized? - might be shopping for some new ones if I have to build another one of these. Thanks for the offer, I'll keep that in mind if another one quits on me. Thanks for all the good words above guys...

First day of any buck opened on Oct 1st, Great hunting weather here, around freezing at night and highs of 10ish Can't beat these views, love this time of year 2nd morning the wife connected, Hung it in the garage and headed back out, The morning after that I connected, 2 bucks...

More hunting trips, first time mentioning this but this chick is 8 months pregnant now - were having a boy. Killing some time in the aft with some brookies, Fall sunsets hit different I miss the fall colours back east but we still get a bit of it here with aspens starting to change...

Thanks for all the good words guy. Definitely a weird week or so but all good for us now, some others, not so much. Some more photos of the recently opened areas, Back to the regular content, hunting season started up about a month ago. These trucks are becoming a lot more rare at...

When I saw the external mount I was worried they may have issues with the elements. Think you could just seal them up a bit better than out of the box? Maybe an o -ring on the rod? It's been a very weird week over here. The house survived, but definitely had a few scary nights where we didn't...

Wow, awesome trip. Heading up North has been on our bucket list for ten years now. I'm really hoping next year is the year. Next time I'm in your area I'll be sure to ring the bell!

Night 5, we ended up on the water solo again. A real nice creek directly next to us for some white noise, I'm a sucker for white noise when camping. This is about as good as it gets for us. Feast of fish, cold beer and a sunset over the glaciers. Day 6, heading back to town for some...

Setting up camp at the 3rd spot of the trip. Again totally solo right on the water. Hooked up to a couple of nice Bull trout, note the proximity to camp! Paddling up to the headwaters Walked the canoe for about a km. This section was straight silt and really quite smooth on bare feet...

Definitely is what it is haha. I still have the hybrid 3500 motor sitting on a stand as a back-up. I keep telling myself I'm not going to fix "x" because I'm going to swap the motor soon. Maybe another broken manifold will be the push across the finish line to swap that engine in... I usually...

^^ love the canoe, so simple and durable. All you need is a couple of paddles and you're on the water, albeit on the water in many places boats can't usually access. ^ Thanks Paul, yeah it's becoming a bit of a tome. Friggin love your build by the way. The area you're in and the trips you go on...

Drove up to the last operational part of the mine, The guys running these places were not idiots, not by a long shot. The system in place with these rail cars and dumping off the side of the hill was genius. It started to rain pretty well so we took off for camp. This is the last part of...

Next stop was the old Sandon silver mine, now dubbed a ghost town. Surprisingly quite busy with folks though... I really enjoyed seeing the old iron, whether it was relevant to the mine or not. These units sure make the Freightliners I used to run look like Cadillacs. the wife was pretty...

The paddle back towards the truck, and a few pictographs along the way were pretty neat to see. These trees growing off this sheer rock face was really neat. They took hold in moss and somehow found a way to stick. Camp #2, caught a nice rainbow right off the shore. Checked out the old hwy...

finally got my pinion shims welded into place, this is essentially a small lift block with a 2* angle. Just in time for a trip to the Slocan lake area, We stayed at upper little Slocan the first night. This was definitely the most populated snake habitat I've seen in BC. Exploring the lake...
