Camped night 1 in Lone Pine in the snow.
Came from hwy 168 down Eureka valley to the dunes. Through Steel pass to the Saline hot springs. Camped at the base of Lippincott. Up Lippincott to the racetrack, right at Teakettle Junction then over Hunter mountain in the snow. Then all the way down past BadWater and went through Mengel pass checking out lots of cabins, ended at Ballarat. It was an epic trip with awesome weather. 230 miles of dirt in 3 days.

This truck is listed in the for sale forum. Time to move on, I might shed a tear.

Man! I just got my dream truck back. (Had a 96 and sold. 10 years ago) A 97 ext cab 4x412v 5spd 155k on it. Do you have more pics of the dash? Mine is cooked and gone of course. I’d curious what you did for your. I been thinking of a full custom dash but can’t find pics.

One of the aftermarket companies (cannot remember which) now repops a complete new dash shell assembly made from better materials. This is NOT a dash cap but a complete new dash housing assembly.

Do a google search. I am sure you will find it.
