PS, I didn't break your power arial today! :p

I think it is killer Jason! Yes your hammock looks like a ziplock bag, yes the bars look to long. But since I know you, I know it is not a finished deal. All these years I have seen ARB bars, custom bars, ect ect, and I have never seen or known anyone who set up their bumpers to hold a hammock...

Oh and the new truck is a bit of a hybrid but I expect it to be in the 6-7000lbs range loaded and ready for a trip.

All I can do is lost past trucks...truckless atm. 04 Tacoma d/c 5200-5400lbs unloaded and low on fuel! 84 FJ60 Cruiser around 5500lbs with light hear and half tank of fuel. 83 Nissan Patrol SWB 6000+lbs but far from stock.

With that configuration it makes pretty good sense. :)

Agree, sweet Patrol! I hear about them from time to time up in Alaska but don't see pictures often.

I knows and nobody has guessed right yet. He was testing them tonight when he sent me a text so maybe he will say what they are for soon... PS, I got to drive it last weekend. Kicking myself in the ******** now for not getting an 80-series years ago! :rolleyes:

I always wondered why people would put a padlock hasp on doors. I also wonder why they would put grates or lockable panels over rear windows. The reason I wonder why is because all somebody has to do to break into the truck after the "security" measures is toss a rock through the door windows...

I know, I know, I said no more pictures of the frame! Everybody is probably bored with pictures of the frame but I finished the frame 100% last night so will post a round of pictures of the frame 100% completed. These pictures are both top & bottom of the frame with some detailed pictures too...

Surprised you didn't have titles on your other vehicles. Most people keep those in a file unless the bank holds it... ;) I actually drove all the way from Wyoming to Panama and back on only my registration. This was my first trip down. It worked but we did have one small problem with it at the...

This should be a big week for the Patrol. I am heading to Idaho in a few days with a load to be sand blasted. Mostly stuff for the rolling chassis. May finally get paint all worked out this week too, it has been a lot of work to get this dialed in but it may be finalized this week. The engine...

If it was legal to import into the USA I would buy it yesterday! bump for you...

I really enjoy your trip updates. Great stuff!! And I absolutely have to explore South America by vehicle before I die..... Cheers

I spy Wyoming plates, Evanston to be exact. Cool to see another Wyoming local out there on the road in Latin America enjoying themselves! Cheers

I like the Latin way much better. Argue over who's fault it is, argue over the cost to move on, get out your cash, slap it down and drive off.

I so agree with this. Some of the stints I have done it was like playing some racing video game on the hardest difficulty for 12-16hrs. Only if you fail it isn't just "game over". That is the best way I could describe it. My worst fear down south when driving is always somebody stepping out in...

That shouldn't be hard to find. ;)

Looks great (awesome actually) with the 35's and flares! Needs a window tint... ;)

Oh man......you had me laughing pretty hard out loud with that one. Wish I could go, seems like a good group of fun people going. I was in for the trip but bailed out because my ride couldn't be there for the 12-21 event. If I am going I got to be there when the world ends! And alas, it is...

Thank you sir! Yesterday was paint the inside of the frame day. I bought a 3M spray gun used for applying undercoatings, it has a long wand on it. The Rust Bullet is to thick without thinning to work with the wand, even thinned down it didn't seem to want to work. So I just used the short 3"...
