    friggin gorgeous day Terrible photo but we had to tug this old f150 out of the snow on our way down. He slid off the road and then his front driveshaft snapped trying to self recover. Always nice to help someone else out. yellow perch have got to be one of my favourite fish to eat...

    ^ Right on, glad you enjoyed some of it. quick little update. I finally found the last skid plate to cover the trans pan. You can see I've got everything covered except that gap in the middle. It's not like we are bouncing over rocks constantly. However a few times I hear that clunk...

    ^Thanks for the good words guys. givemethewillys, when it comes to mushrooming it's super easy to get started. Just pick a couple of mushrooms that are easy to identify (morels, chanterelles) and then start building your knowledge base from there. Trust me when we are out I see 10x the...

    Wow that looks mint!! Thanks for the good words guys. Had to fix something, been a minute. The antenna mount bent and the antenna was just flopping around. Had to straighten out the fender. The cheap antenna mount that came with the aftermarket fender (left) wasn't designed for pushing...

    Thanks! The diesel route would be so great for the hills. I'm not going to lie I've fantasized about the cummins repower but the price is just far too much for me when you're all said and done. I would also be concerned about the real cold starts when out in the bush. As far as mpfi, it just...

    I've read a lot of bad reviews about those H4 led stock replacement housings. I wish a company like KC would offer a stock style replacement H4 light. They came on pretty much every single car and truck in the 80's so there must be some demand for the upgrade. It's actually just 2 different...

    The next day I threw the canoe on the truck for the first time since the spring. On our way to the lake we stopped to look for some mushrooms in the most beautiful forest. The entire floor was covered in moss every step of the way. Immediately found this cool bolete. Then a couple of...

    Still about the same unfortunately. This is why we have only been doing day trips and no camping at all. I had one a long time ago but photobucket pretty well ruined it. Short story is my dad bought the '84 brand new and passed it down to me when I got my license. Over the last 15 years I've...

    A little off topic but I did a ton of work to my '84 s10 this summer as well. Picked up some really nice sticky bridgestone z71R's for it. Fixed the rear diff, rear brakes and set up the e-brake finally. Also got the wideband 02 set up. Been driving it a ton. Went to a couple...
