    I think so, it’s much more of a practical approach to camping with your daily driver. I try and go camping as often as I can and with time being a pintch things get on my nerves during setup. With the shell it takes all the setup out of things. Benefits of the shell: Weather is not an issue...

    He swam across and left his rig for the night so that we could get to high ground. We had to wait for the storm to subside and we ended up being able to get close enough to through a coupe tow straps on his truck. The truck had about six inches thick of muck on the floor. Took apart the intake...

    Some photos from last weekend. We took Sunday and headed down to our favorite local riding spot to open up the season. These photos were taken in McCain Valley OHV area. Not the best place for trucks but fantastic for bikes. The area is filled with single track and great terrain.

    I unbolted the factory fog light, tossed it in the trash and bolted up the squadrons with a bit smaller hardware. Super easy! So the Squadron Pros are linked to my switch pro, and the Squadron Sports are operated on the factory switch. I often drive with the sports on during the day for a...

    Took the k20 for her first shake down run. I put 250 miles down, and 10 of that was in the dirt. The truck road like a prairie schooner, but I was still stoked. The more and more I drive this truck the more I want to keep it close to stock. This Friday I will be ordering 2” lift springs from...

    Haha, thanks! I love them both. If it makes you feel better I’m still freeloading on my parents couch ? . That’s the only reason I’m able to have these rigs. Thanks so much for the kudos, I’ll do my best to keep chipping away at her! I think that that’s an achievable dream man, get the...

    You weren’t kidding about a drool session! Larry has a thread (after further research, multiple) that is filled with gold. If the 350 ever kicks the bucket or ever shows signs of it I’d love to try and tackle the 5.3 swap to the SM465. I feel like that would be a great project.

    Yeah, i had no idea that there was an LS in there! I'm envious of all the places you've taken that thing. I will work on getting setup on CK5 later this week once work and school slow down! Thank you! Just trying to keep working the endless knot.
