    48" at a time or 20' the hard way!

    Great self recovery! Lucky the tree was nearby. I like the Viking extension line. You need some more weight in the bed of your truck

    GX Storage/Bed project

    That looks pretty good and easliy removable. You can pick of a chase loung pad (3-4" foam) that would work good as a bed.

    jk pop top?

    I'd be very interested Do you have any preliminary drawings of what you have in mind? Keep it simple and light weight. Maybe a bed up top and an optional single bed bench on one side and a lightweight kicthen set up on the other side?

    So I broke both my rear shocks today!!!

    You have to measure the extended fully drooped lenght or you rear suspension and then look at the compressed lenght or your stock shocks to see what range of shock you need.

    How can you tell if polarity has been changed?

    I would start at the battery to see which cable (+ or -) goes to earth (ground) and go from there. I don't think the switches care which way ground is?

    So I broke both my rear shocks today!!!

    The shocks are probably too long or too short? Check the application/ part number. You need to know the full dimensions when compressed and extended. Maybe they sent you the wrong shocks?

Most of the nasty bugs don't...

    Crossing Granit Creek in record flood

    If the vehicle rolled over in the water and got wedged on the canyon wall it could have been bad for you and your rig. I doesn't take long to drown and or have your vehicle get filled with sand and rocks.
