It's been a hot minute. We've had family visiting for over 2 months now. Now much camping or forward progress has happened.. The truck has developed a code 45, 02 rich intermittent stumble recently. Have started troubleshooting but not getting anywhere fast. Swapped the 02, no change...

Yeah I couldn't come up with a "great" reason for the blower, but was curious. That was going to be my next question, duration. IIRC honda specs 120k km's or 8 years, for certain models. Lucky go of it with no valve to piston contact regardless. Love the adventure/wheeling pics. Can't wait to...

Yup, hearts, moose hearts to me more specific. Some hunter discard the organs, but in my opinion heart is one of the best cuts. I don't know if this is happening for everyone but these supply chain issues are really putting a hamper on my plans. I ordered some coil buckets weeks ago and I...

Ooof, tough break. Have you considered the roots blower may possibly be the cause for premature failure? Bit of a reach but maybe the extra torque/revs would lend itself to a reduced service life. It would be interesting to know if the xterra timing belt interval is shorter.

Lots more adventures since the last post. Still have to finish out the interior, not sure if I'll ever get around to it. Solid axle swap is up next. Lots more details and photos in the project thread below.

We have two big stand ups, and they are getting there. After my performance this hunting season, I'll need to catch a lot of fish. We have a cheapo costco prosumer vac unit. It's ok, I would like to upgrade to something a bit better in the future. Thanks, you & I both. We spent another night...

Thanks for the good words guys. Pushed through this sled track to get to a lake on Saturday. Instantly rewarded for our efforts. Ended up with a limit of these super hungry brookies. Really impressed with how well the truck does aired down to 10psi. Finally tested out that smitty built...

First real winter camping trip this weekend, This little planar laughs at -5, barely running, Just a sliver left, smart beaver. Although it was cold we couldn't do any ice fishing on the first lake, it was still open water. Burned about 2.5 liters of diesel in 18 hours and only 11 amp/hr...

Holy smokes that's a lot of work in a couple of posts. Nice work! I can't wait to see this thing sitting in the truck fully popped up. What a unit.

Wow that must have been a ton of snow to stop the fan, unreal. Ooof, not a fan of doing that media stuff hahaha. Still waiting to see some pic of your unit out in the wild! Alberta has some really awesome spots. Pretty much the entire western side is unreal. Quick update, haven't done much...

One last sit before the weather turned to cold for my liking, This is old girl is getting old Views from the top of Terrace mountain Opted to pop the top and enjoy the scenery and a beer with the diesel heater. The road to the top of Terrace is a nasty little quad trail. A bunch of...

A couple of random hunting pics from earlier, out of order Sighting in the new T3X 300wm Bird days View from the old KVR Thumbs up to Expedition upfitters. I emailed about my original tank/cap leaking diesel and they immediately sent over a new one no charge at all. There is...

Man they are such cool animals. They can be super chill and just hang in a tree all day. Good luck on your hunt, new areas can be super challenging. Thanks guys, really appreciate the good words. End of the day this is just a good old truck making it happen. My little brother came for a...

Out with the folks on a day trip, these guys are pounding food on westside rd at the moment. Trying to put on some weight for the winter. Folks are in their late 60's and early 80's and they are still down for an adventure. Hope I am the same when I hit that age. First time I've ever seen...

This cow would not get out of the way. Followed her for nearly 2km Dinner going on Love this little pathfinder pan, Morning sits, starting to cool down now. Hard to make out but there is a bull moose in the trees 60 yards away. Called it in from nearly a km away. 3rd porcupine we've...

You won't regret the chuck box, that's for sure. Thanks for the good words. No doubt. We live in suburbia and definitely get some looks when a moose is hanging from the rafters.... Soups on Watching deer again We made a new addition to the gear this last trip. This 11L water jug...

^such a great trip. This is the 3rd year now that I've scheduled myself for 2 day work weeks for 6 weeks straight (hunting season). All of Oct & half of Nov, we are only working thurs/fri. Might be the best schedule ever. Just getting back from another 3 days. Wish we could have hung this...

^ agreed, forgive my moment of weakness haha. The 33x10.5 ko2's is definitely the choice. Back at it, Grouse for thanksgiving. Wish I could squeeze one more hook in here for the .22 First night out and nearly a full moon. This photo was taken under just moonlight. Next am, Wife had a...

Yeah, if I'm being logical a mud terrain just isn't the tire for this truck. Especially on snowy pavement. SST's are really pricy if I remember correctly. I'll likely stick with the 33x10.5 KO2s

^ they were, as far as I'm aware. These are the same dimensions but in a more conventional design. I'm completely torn on which direction to go. There is almost zero info/reviews on the 7.5's out there. I think they would work awesome on some 6x16" jeep rims. A guy I was talking to was joking...
