Picked up this nice little tig set up for a screaming deal. Next trip out, Shaggies are jacking up the roads. Scouting some new cuts Camp that night, 6am opening morning of deer season. Sitting in the cut where I spotted the white tail buck a week prior. No deer that morning, wifey...

Started that afternoon with another snow shoe. Stayed at this little gem of a brookie lake Lost track of how many brookies we brought in almost immediately. Up on the lookout, Giant toad hanging our around camp. On the way home the wife stocked this bear to 25 yards and dropped...

Moving onto another area, scouting some new crown land for hunting. Lots of wildlife in this area. This fire occurred 3 years ago... Spotted this Giant Cow and this tiny toad This nice white tail doe with a buck More grouse Found this moose shed which is now our toilet paper...

Drove through a recently burnt area, pretty devastating damage. couple nice moose rubs Camped at a lake experiencing an algae bloom, looked like toxic sludge. The fishing was great despite the bloom Whiskey jacks were right in the mix of things How's this for firewood? Go figure...

100%, thanks for that. When the time comes I'll definitely be going that route. Yeah looking back at this, it's a testament to how bad the fires were this year. Lots of different pic and randomness in this post. Started messing around with the 3500 heads, disassembled and start smoothing...

Been following this since the beginning. Love the raw trials and tribulations paired with an awesome build. Can't wait to see more.

Gosh if I could build a truck without a budget, this is some awesome stuff. Those bed sides and fenders look unreal. Looking forward to seeing more of this.

An evening paddle on Nevertouch lake, We came across 20+ grouse on this short trip and a few very braves bunnies. Hunting season is right around the corner, these chicks better smarten up in a hurry. We stopped at Winifred falls again this year. What a gem of a spot. There are two pools...

Beauty comment hahaha We are very fortunate to not have been effected by the fires as of yet. Just 20 km to our north 80 homes burnt yesterday.... I've got a few friends and co-workers who are evacuated or on evac alert. It is an incredibly bad year for fires here in BC. Quick update on the...

"step 1: removed the bed, they are such a waste of space" Totally had me from the start with this sentence^. Absolutely awesome build. Love the design and overall profile. That's such a great truck to start with for a platform as well. Dead nuts reliable. Looking forward to seeing more soon...

Awesome to see the roof popping up and down. That must be super rewarding. A good set-up with struts is a lot harder to engineer then one would think.

Absolutely awesome build. Kudos for doing your own canvas pop-top, that's a daunting task imo. Looking forward to more updates.

Overloads look great. Probably fetch a fair price for you DSSV's and recoup some funds. It's amazing how light those Ovrlnd campers are built. Most set-ups start at 1k... Awesome progress.

Just adding to the conversation. I built a pop-top aluminum topper, very bare bones deal. Total cost was around 5k, including electrical components, diesel heater, mattress etc. The big expense was my time, several hundred hours - 300 hrs @ $50/hr = $15k. If a company offered something...

^ Thanks for the suggestion. I did the blazer brake swap on the '86 a little while ago. Even better then the blazer bars are the ZQ8's set ups. The '86 always had a bit of an exhaust leak on cold starts, lately it had an exhaust leak all the time. Drivers side manifold was almost in 2...

It was a great trip^ Well with a massive drought, campfire ban and really bad air quality we decided to forgo camping this weekend. On the plus side, I got the rest of the engine parts in. Custom ground cam, lifters, rings, tb adapter and some other misc stuff. I've been trying to find a...

Back to the regularly scheduled program. I wish I had the camper on for this pic, but it's a still a great comparison of different size rigs. Willing to bet my buddies camper alone weighs almost as much as my truck. The'86 developed a nice little exhaust tick on over the last week. Found it...

Man, the amount of times I've cursed that old tote with everything stacked up on top of itself... sheesh. I'm the type of person, everything has to have a spot, and if it doesn't , it's just a disaster. Thanks! Holy smokes that sounds like a nightmare. I hope we never loose our local yards...

I've set a goal to complete both the Solid axle swap and new engine build by the end of the year. I'm just tired of this stuff taking up space. Pulled the 8.8 out today and started blowing it apart and cleaning it up. Wire wheeled and chipped away at all the rust for a good 2-3 hours...

Quick update, This has been our "chuck box" for almost ten years now. This has also been the bane of my existence for that entire time. In the spirit of starting another project before I finish the other ones, time to build a decent storage box. Just need to get some hinges and finish...
