Not much work on the truck lately. I've been using it more than turning wrenches, so I guess that's not a bad problem to have! I was able to head out to the Crowsnest again this weekend with some good friends. One of our local CT4WD members is moving to Ontario and asked is I (and a few others)...

Yah they are pretty wicked wheels! Thanks man, glad to help motivate. Not that I need to be motivated to head to the mountains (its usually one of my top priorities haha) but it sure does help pass the week by when I sit at work on my computer. Makes you remember how awesome the mountains are...

Hey Monte! Nah, still rocking the 80. Just a few pics of my buddies 5th gen from the weekend that I wanted to share. Your truck is looking deadly BTW. When is your next wheeling run planned? Maybe I should make a drive?

Hey Jon! They are faux beadlocks. He just machined the rings himself to protect the rims from the rocks. Actually the next day from that photo he got stuck in a massive hole and popped a bead, as well as sheared off most of those bolts on an rock in the hole. Although, he was headlight deep... I...

Thanks Ryan. It's on a trail called Daisy Creek in the Crowsnest Pass AB, Canada. That spot is one of my favorite places to camp, as there is a perfect meadow behind where the photo was taken, and you can go for a swim in the pool/falls on a hot enough day. Love it out there!

Thanks! Nope its a pro LineX job. Nailed it, 4x4Labs at its finest. With a couple additions from my buddy who welded it together. Excellent bumper! @Timbo FJ45, Mannn... this pic/truck is too cool! I'll need a higher res for my wallpaper though ;) A couple from this weekend...

A couple photos from the weekend. Had a chance to get out to the mountains and do some camping and hit one of my favorite trails. I'll let the photos tell the rest of the story: 20130626-IMG_2912.jpg by RickaShay24, on Flickr 20130627-IMG_2947.jpg by RickaShay24, on Flickr...

Excellent photos and very nice looking Jeep/Trailer combo! I must say, I visited Bend OR for the first time this year on my way home from Cali/Utah and I will be back. What an incredible place.

Had some time to play with the camera this weekend, so I cleaned the truck up really well and headed out for a photoshoot: 20130620-IMG_2841.jpg by RickaShay24, on Flickr 20130620-IMG_2844.jpg by RickaShay24, on Flickr 20130620-IMG_2834.jpg by RickaShay24, on Flickr And then took it the...

Appreciate the fine words! I might be heading down there in September but sans LX450, but we can grab a beverage! A nice summer shot of the LX. Put the OEM Lexus corner lights back on and painted the trim. Needed something to break up the "clear" look. Its all in the details right? lol...

Oooooh that's pushing it with the 80. I bet you had some high temps! haha

Thanks man! Glad to see you stopping by. I drove home from NorCal through Oregon last week. Stayed a night in Bend, and I must say, I will be returning. What an awesome town! I know your in Eugene but Im sure you've been out that way before. Oregon as a whole is truly gorgeous.

That was the original plan. Ended up with some brake issues that changed our route dramatically. A few more: Slickrock Trail - Northern California 20130513-IMG_2595.jpg by RickaShay24, on Flickr Poison Spider - Moab 20130507-IMG_2392.jpg by RickaShay24, on Flickr 20130507-IMG_2414.jpg by...

Got back into Canada last night from my US Adventure. It's interesting how no matter how much you plan and prepare for adversity, you still never know where you will end up. More words and photos to come, but a few teasers for now: I'll start a thread in the completed Adventures section...

Excellent practical mods with great execution. Your rig is so clean! Great work.

Thanks! I actually had a family friend of mine (who is an exceptionally good finishing carpenter) lay out the base for me. I helped him but he simply used a piece of cardboard and took a few measurements to get the shape close, then fine-tuned it little by little until the cardboard sat nicely...
