Day 3: We left camp at about 9:30, backtracking to FR 87A where we continued north on the east side of the designated wilderness to the Rio De Los Pinos at San Miguel. We took FR 284 upstream to where it terminates at private land. A sharp, near 180-degree, turn got us on FR 494 that climbs...

From the looks of this pic, you are too late on those sliders:

One week prior to the SJNF Shutdown:

Finally identified a squeak that has been haunting me for the last 4 years. Turns out that the top sway bar link mount on my anti-rock was ever so slightly loose. Nice and quiet ride again!

Worked on rebuilding my rear axle truss

I'm happy with this rack: https://www.amazon.com/Highland-1375500-SportWing-Mounted-Carrier/dp/B004O5IDHE/ref=pd_day0_263_8?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=39441HSXFZ8TG4NJ9B8A I do use a 12" hitch extender to get beyond the spare tire.
