    Post up your M416 Tailgates please

    I just searched and dug through 10 different M416 builds and I can't find the specific tailgate pictures that I am looking for. I would like to do something similar to a Landcruiser tailgate.....hinged bottom and chains to hold in up so I can sit on it, use as a table, etc....... Please post...

    Big Bend - Summer and Solo 2015

    Yeah, not an option. I hit Rudy's for my road food Brisket Egg and Cheese tacos for the week. Grabbed a 1/2 pound of moist...... I stopped by Hard 8 in Stephenville....wasn't hungry but I plucked a Phat quail off the grill and munched on it. Ricardo's in Brownwood for some tortillas...

    Big Bend - Summer and Solo 2015

    On a very long list of things I miss about living in Texas is that the BBQ here is terrible as is the Mexican food and chicken fried steak. We have great food in MS but none of the aforementioned.

    Day 3.......Marfa and the Davis Mountains The road goes on forever......... ........well, not exactly forever, but it kinda seems like it. I thought I was in the clear on the Border Patrol when I topped a hill just outside Marfa and there he was. He called in my MS Veteran tag and...

    Day 3.......Beyond Big Bend All great things must come to an end, but they don't have to end fast. After my spectacular hike up Lost Mine, I ran down the Park Ranger with the Land Cruiser that I had met on Thursday. I literally could have talked to this man for a month. His name is Matt and...

    Big Bend - Summer and Solo 2015

    Day 3 - Morning I got up very early from a second great night sleep in my ENO hammock and quickly packed my simple camp items into the Landcruiser.* I had been driving by the Lost Mine trailhead the last 2 days and other cars were always there.* My goal was to cut "first tracks" for the day...

    Small world that it is, I ran into this couple at the Starlight Theater and she was from Meridian MS and he was from Brookhaven. They were both driving oil trucks at night out of Pecos TX 80's and 100's are getting super affordable and you can put hundreds of thousands of miles on them...

    Day 2 West River Road to Terlingua Ghost Town In order to hit all the backcountry trails in Big Bend you have to repeat a trail somewhere.* I figured if I had to do a "repeat" trail, I would do Black Gap again since it is a nice, challenging trail.* I actually ran into 3 vehicles here.* Up to...

    Day 2 - Morning I camped in the Chisos Basin on the back side of the campground. It was nice as there were very few people around. I hit the trail early in the morning.* I knew the sun would be up and hot soon.* The Window Trail is one of the most popular hikes in Big Bend.* I had done...

    Big Bend - Summer and Solo 2015

    At this point it is 1:30 and the temperature has just hit 110 degrees but I knew this going in to this trip. The plan is to hike in the Chisos Basin in the morning on the next two days and go 4 Wheeling on the backroads when it is crazy hot.* I have the right vehicle to do this, so I crank...

    Day 1 - Morning Continued This was the only shade I found all morning....heck, I think it was the only shade I found all day.* I was fortunate enough to have found this spot before the sun rose beyond the canyon.* There was some standing water in this river bed and it was actually cool in the...

    Big Bend - Summer and Solo 2015

    I don't post a lot over here but my tastes in wheeling and adventure are leaning toward overland travel more and more these days. Gone is my desire to travel the country searching the hardest rockcrawling trails. More, I want to see remote areas. Slow down, photograph, be isolated. I just...

    Big Bend Country

    You really summed up my thoughts on Big Bend right here. I am simply awed by the place. Mystical. I have spent a lot of time in the National Park and am dying to get to the State Park next trip. Thanks for sharing. Great pictures and writeup.
