GREAT WHITE BUFFALO (2016 Carli Cummins build)

[JESSE A]

We start out at Mount Rushmore. Neither of us have been before. It's a little bit of a shock to realize how commercialized it is. This National Memorial is massive! Carved in the Black Hills of South Dakota this sculpture is about 60 feet tall. Definitely a sight to see! Then we head over to Keystone, SD which a super cool town. We had so much fun with Jason and Rae talking about RV life that it ended up being a 5 hour lunch at Ruby House Restaurant. This was a pretty big deal for us because these guys were a huge inspiration to us when we started full timing. We are both originally from Simi Valley, California and we thought it was so cool to see someone we knew from real life get out there and start RVing. Very inspirational!

We take the journey from Deadwood South Dakota to Wyoming just outside Grand Teton National Park. The drive is quite long and when we arrive we are super tired. While looking for a good camping spot with decent cell phone service, we go down a road we shouldn't have been on with our 5th wheel. Getting out of this area requires a steep uphill rutted road and four wheel drive! The following day I drive into town and reflect on the great dirt road driveways we have had lately! We head over a near by camp to meet some other RVers that we were in touch with on Instagram.

This area is absolutely beautiful and might be my favorite place in the country. We are looking forward to exploring the area for the next week! Hope you enjoy the video! ***Feel free to subscribe and hit that like button!*** https://www.youtube.com/c/adventureen...

Boondocking outside Grand Teton National Park has its perks! We have a meet up with multiple full-time families, at the same time we make new friends that happen to be new to full-timing. Ryan and Jeff sold everything in Arizona, bought trailers and moved up to Wyoming to be river float guides on the Snake River.

We also reconnect with Kyle Nugent, a full-timer that we met in Maine roughly 2 months earlier! He is traveling the country hitting one baseball field at a time. We happened to stay in touch, told him we would be in the area and he came by! Kyle is an avid fly fisherman and he decided to give me some lessons, but I was only interested in flying the drone! This video is a great one, make sure you watch till the end!

There are a couple things I will be adding on here, we switched out a different hitch. Also installed some air bags.

While boondocking outside of Grand Teton National Park, some of our new friends invite us downhill mountain biking at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort. Unfortunately we end up taking a wrong turn on our drive to the resort which leads to a huge delay. We show up one hour late and decide that we don't want to spend 70.00 for one hour of riding and rental (Normally it's two hours for 70.00).
Instead we get a recommendation from the bike shop to hike up to the top of the ski mountain and take the gondola back down for free. They said if we hurried we could make it before dark! It's an adventure, in the description below Ill include the information about the trail. Hope you enjoy the video!

So we added a few things to help out with the towing. This truck has been a tow pig for a while, now that we are back in CA it's going to start seeing some dirt miles as well. We added some firestone airbags because we got a new trailer with a higher pin weight. That new trailer required a differnt hitch because the front cap is full profile. We went with the Andersen Ultimate connection, so far its great, but time will tell.

The things I have added over the past few years has gradually lowered the rear end.I may try stiffer stock coil springs, if I can find some information on the stock rates.I am also thinking about bags,I have read conflicting reports,some say the truck rides better,some say the truck rides worse.
What are your thoughts on the bags? Thanks.

Sorry if this is in the thread, but do you have more pics of how the rear bypasses are mounted?

The bags defiantly have their purpose, I think the truck is defiantly stiffer. Im going the add the lower daystar airbag cups I think that will defiantly help. They wont be connected unless the truck is towing essentially.

Yes, it was a custom install obviously but a local shop, they are 2.5x14s I think. We also had to remove the rear sway bar to get them to fit.

 

[JESSE A]

This is all I could find, but if you have any more questions let me know!

 

[dirtracer90]

Thank you. That’s super clean. I will definitely be doing something similar.

Even more reassuring is how much you tow without the rear sway bar. No issues I take it?

Not issue what so ever. Have no complaints with the setup I have the air bags were essential though when we got the heaver trailer. Those bypasses actually probably work better than a factory sway bar. Now on to making some Bypasses fit the front!

We pull out of our dispersed camping location near Mammoth Lakes California. It was not too bad getting out of our spot, having a larger 5th wheel we ALWAYS need to be careful of our over head height.

While on the drive home we reflect and talk about how we feel about being back. We hit the road in order to see what this country had to offer. Melissa and myself have never left our home town for longer than a couple weeks, this was quite the experience. Returning to our home town of Simi Valley California we have a mixed bag of emotions. Hope you enjoy the video and please stay tuned into to the channel to see what happens with our full-timing lifestyle!!
