I'd love to see that GMWMA area. It's been 10+ years since I've been in there. And yes yes yes to help with the scouting for the big March run. I'll PM you my contact info. Let's set up a time to go out and explore! Thanks!

Go check the Central Region page! Info is up!

I spent the 30 extra bucks and went with the Bilsteins on a recommendation from Wheeler's Off-Road during my purchase. I use them with the OME Dakars rear and Icons up front. Love the setup, and have nothing but good to say. (Never used OME shocks, fyi, so I have nothing come baseline from...

I know those spiders! HAHA! (Why do you think I sold my Jeep?! :D ) So, I'm thinking of late-March. Maybe a four-day/three-night run on March 25-28th? That's spring break time frame for many schools, and I'd love it if my 11 year-old daughter could ride shotgun. I'd like it if it could be...

Ouachita Natty Forest, 01.02.10 (cont.) Rushing home in time for the Liberty Bowl. HOGS WON! :wings: (Sorry to my East Carolinian friends. No hard feelings?!) Well, I'd call it a successful route recon; more of a "route denial" sort of trip. But that's cool. It's trail info I didn't...

Finally made it to Hot Springs, where I had to pick up a spare Tacoma TRD wheel from a dude. (Gonna start rotating all five.) I also anticipate Hot Springs being the southern terminus of the group run. Headed back in... With my personal overland guides leading the way, as usual...

Ouachita Natty Forest, 01.02.10 (cont.) As you can see, the trail quickly became tighter and less maintained... Until this: I had three options, 1) back out, 2) winch the deadfall out of my way, 3) cut the deadfall out of my way. After all the holiday chow I packed away, I needed a...

Anyone who read my previous run's post knows that I'm thinking of putting together an ExPo Central States group run for this spring. I figure that it's pretty important for me to ensure that if I do that, then I'd better recon the entire proposed route... you know, to make sure it's a "good...

WOW! What a fantasitic '09! Can't wait to see what '10 brings you guys... And I GOTTA get out there to make a run with y'all. The west is simply beautiful.

Looking at your trip pics, then glancing out of my frozen window here, makes me miss SoCal terribly! Thanks for sharing.

Tough break on the front end. What happened? And what part of OK are you in? I do a lot of wheeling in both the Ozarks and Ouachitas, so if you want to get out and put that b@d@s$ build to use exploring this part of the country, give me a shout! (I'm planning a group run in late-March, fyi.)

(Almost forgot to respond to this.) No prob here, partner. This is very similar to how mine is mounted, and it's rock solid. Highly recommended.

Love the truck. If you're thinking of supporting the rack on both the topper shell and the truck cab, I would advise you to reconsider. If the rack is rigid and inflexible in design (which 99%+ of racks are due to being constructed of steel tubing), then the first time your truck articulates...

Yeah, I'm thinking the USFS probably came through and gauged and re-graded these crossings on this particular road sometime in 2009. They were broad and evenly shallow, and mostly smooth river rock. Just very "consistent" depths at each. But I saw PLENTY of evidence all the way up the hollow...

Thanks for the understanding bomar. As far as coming in to cruise the Ozarks and camp, almost everything is gorgeous and public. Just drive around Forest Service dirt roads and trails and find cool stuff to admire and love it all, then when you get tired of driving around, simply find a...

Love the bumper! I talked to Brant @ CBI about something very similar more than a month ago, and you know what pics he sent me to describe what he could do? Your bumper! :D And I mean those exact pics of it on the blue Taco that you just posted above! At that time he called it the "Hybrid...

HA! So sorry, brother, but I am not one to tell others exactly where to go. Not only do I believe in discovering a path for oneself, but along the way you might find things more amazing than I did. Explore, not follow kind of a thing. No hard feelings, please! That said, I do offer you the...

They were nothing extreme (like Wil does for fun :Wow1: ) by any accounts, but enough for my comfort considering I'm not totally modified for deep water. The deepest they ever got was in the 12-24".

Congrats on turning the "build" corner. Can't wait to see it come together. Subscribed. :coffee:

Love the truck, buddy. Can't wait to hear your details of the rest of the build. One question, though: when do we get to see it dirty? ;)
