Later in the morning at Hermits Rest, feral horses a stallion, colt and the mare who was a little further down and behind a tree so didn’t get her in the pics.

This morning on Hermit Road counted 12 in all, 11 ewes and 1 lamb in 1st and 2nd pic.

Really liking your PW/GFC set up. Been thinking a lot about which direction I want to take my PW in and all have pluses and minuses to them. The weight of the GFC is not bad imho. Cost is up there but so is everything else these days, by the time you get a quality bed cap and rtt your close to...

Actually that one was on 64 just south of the VC. Heard the monsoon is supposed to start next week, it gonna be a scorcher for the next few days.

Bull at the end of the rut 2019. He had a harem of about a dozen cows and a couple of them were standing on the road in front of my shuttle bus and he was next to my side window. I opened the window and asked if he minded me taking his picture he didn’t turn away so I took a few pics, I could...

Some ewes on Hermits Rest Road Grand Canyon and a bull from last years rut

It is fine. Modern V-8’s are not like your fathers V-8’s.

Mostly around 4K, love the sound of the Hemi when it’s making power! Transmission temp went up to 180 degrees from it’s normal 167 so well within safe operation limits and engine temp never went above normal. Average MPG from the canyon to Colorado Springs was 17.2, back to the Canyon pulling...

The PW at the summit of Wolf Creek Pass, Co. which is almost 11k ft. Elevation. It towed my new 27’ Winnebago TT that weighs 6500lbs dry (had about 40gals. water on board) up the pass at the speed limit and had power to spare. The 8speed transmission held the truck with little brake usage on the...

Thanks. My first mod on the PW was to convert who holds the title on it. Don’t have plans to do a lot of mods to it but probably will change out tires next.

Just paid off the loan on the PW today so celebrated by taking her out and putting it into 4lo, locked the diffs and disco the front swaybar. Didn’t need any of that on the forest service road we were on but it seemed like the right thing to do anyway.

I was going to mention the incomplete sticker also, if you can get ahold of the window sticker that came with the truck it will list if it is a cab/chassis.

Cab chassis trucks have frames that are straight and flat from the cab back which makes them easy for upfitters to build their products on. Regular pickup truck frames are usually not flat or straight to snake around the rear axle. Most car salespeople would not know this.

I can only imagine. When I volunteer there I will often make Hermit my last shift. Sometimes I just want to get away from the hundreds of people on the BA or SK. This spring has been a mob scene at both BA and SK trails. Hermit’s is a lot busier than I have ever seen it also, hauled a bunch...

The ice and snow made things quite tough early Tuesday but I only saw three! people from the rim down to 1 1/2 rest house. It was like having the canyon to myself. So quiet. Last year while the park was closed down they allowed park residents to do day hikes down into the canyon. I was able...

I had a ‘86 1 ton 2wd dually with pu bed and fiberglass fenders for the duals. Had a lance cabover camper that they made in the 80’s for mini trucks on it. Got ok fuel mileage but was not particularly fast with the 22re and automatic transmission. Kinda like to have that one back.

WAS mine...

Traded the truck/camper on a 2020 Powerwagon in December. They made me a offer on it that I could not turn down, it will be missed but I needed to make a change. It is for sale at York Dodge Jeep Ram dealership in Prescott Az., on their website they have it at $49,200 but sure they will wheel...

Puch made a 2 speed moped that when it shifted into 2nd gear and with a well timed pull on the handlebars you could get it to do a wheelie. Back in the late 70's I worked at a Suzuki dealership that sold Puch mopeds and on saturdays after we closed we would have speedway races in the parking lot...
