Creek crossings and more. A present at the camp ground.

Lost lake and some poser shots on the boulders. Apears it was a logging lake where they floated the logs and loaded them on a train. The levee and train bridge has been washed out many times and was finally left to the woods.

Heading back to lost lake.

The mill was one of the nicest I have been to. Still operates by water too.

Couple miles of high tops and creek crossings made our way down in the valley toward Dillard mill

Spoils from a lead or iron mine and one of the recreation areas

Started on the sliders/ steps two pieces of tube bent at a 45* and two notches on the ends allows me to put the steps at whatever width I need, this was the most simple two tube slider I could think of. I printed these patterns off and its actually faster to cut the notches this way than with...

thanks for the kind words.

Got the gussets for the tire carrier welded, notched and installed the kick outs on the rear most sliders, capped the tips of the bumper, and installed an angle iron piece to mount the license plate.

Modified the EMS Offroad latch. Its a 90 degree latch and works great when you can secure it at over 90, I couldn't place mine in a position to make it over 90. You can see I notch the handle portion to close about 3/8" further and allowed me to meet that at or just over 90 angle that is needed..
