Driving the Utah Backcountry Discovery route. One night we camped by a beaver pond and watched the beaver work. The 37 degree night temp was a nice change from the 100 plus degree heat we had been in Uintah National Forest.

I've been traveling in remote areas of Utah and have had zero dropouts with the new antenna.

This is the video on how to get the radio out. Not as hard as I thought.

The 200 Series always had spotty XM radio reception which got worse when I put the roof rack on. Ever since I was trying to figure out how to add an aftermarket antenna. Thanks to @BigMF on Ih8MUD, for his work on identifying where the plug was and a great video on how to take the radio out...

Still out and about in Utah.

I carry 10 extra gallons of water. We were up by the North Rim of the Grand canyon.

Out on the road.

Thanks . I will not able to reach the tank without climbing on top the roof. I'd prefer something automatic.

What has anyone done to vent a roof mounted water tank ? I have a Frontrunner water tank and would like to mount it in the middle of the roof rack. Before it had it mounted on the side of the rack so I could just get on the tire and loosen the cap. I was thinking of putting a barb in the cap...

My wife and I drove the Magruder Corridor Trail last summer. Toyota Trails magazine published my article " A Long Time Gone" about that trip. I hope you enjoy it . https://badlandsexpeditions.wordpress.com/2020/12/17/badlandsexpeditions-in-print/
