My back yard mountains first.... These are the Beartooth Mountains

So I did change out the springs to the 4.5 inch HD plushrides from evo. I formerly had the 2.5 inch with a 3/4 inch spacer... The height of the springs on the ground next to one another... were 2 1/2 inches apart. So with the spacer factored in... 1 3/4 inch gain. With them being the HD...

I should mention the solar panel worked great keeping the stock batteries full even when the fridge was working all night. Never a hint of a difficult start. The cheap fridge... ran constant for almost 6 weeks... I started running it day and night 2 weeks before the trip to be sure that it...

Well... 30 days of travel. 6217 miles... average gas mileage was 16.6mpg. Hauling a lot of extra weight because I was deliveing some very heavy items to realitives along the way... it all still went jeeping with us and survived the journey. ...about 1200 miles of the trip was gravel,sand or...

1.) My wife and I made a deal 30 years ago... when we are camping, backpacking, or out offroad... I'm responsible to get the food planned for the trip and to cook the food! So it is a vacation for her too... and I don't mind cooking. 2.) Shoes.... we have a set of parameters that if she gets...

Well... I get to go try everything out for an extended trip in just 3 days. About 1 month on the road! Just added two more upgrades... I've had the truss for a long time, I am not a welder and so I waited until my freind who is one was open for a Jeep project. I was going to keep the factory...

It is on... Falcon 2

Two weeks to my month long trip in the gladiator! Tent just came in... so I worked on the ladder mount, set up the sides of the topper to give it all a shakedown while I drive around with it on all week. I will be putting my Falcon 2 roofnest on tomorrow. It has been pouring rain...so we will...

No exciting picture... but I did put in a set of Synergy HD Ball joints. At 30,000 there were signs of the passenger side ball joint starting to fail, loose... plastic cup giving out- I think. So... I think they are good for a while now! Feels great and they can be greased!

Sounds like the right trade at the right time!

The side steps that I used for the past 2.5 years were cheap... 230 bucks on a scratch and dent deal... they lasted ok, they have a few dents...but one day I was going to upgrade them. I went with Rock Hard sliders...tilted up version. Happy with the choice! My pinch seam re-enforcement...

Added some air vents and built what will become a mount for an RTT ladder on the passenger side...have to have the ladder show up to finish that project. also made a flag mount on the driver side for dunes... right in the center left of the window.

Another Item that I'm trying out. Seems solid, and really helped on road manners in high winds and gravel roads on whoops. Not sure on rock yet if it will make much difference. One side needed help to fit right, had to bend it about 1/8th of an inch for it to fit in place.

They are made by a company called Cascadia...out of Canada. They have been around a couple of years now and I've found lots of good reviews. We will put it to work on our 30 day long trip...see how it does!

Still adding things.... that were ordered a long time ago...but just now showed up!

I've been running a stage 2...plus my own added stuff for about 8 months! The quality has been great... very drivable. Does great off road.

Well... I found another bargain for 150 dollars! I got a scratch and dent ARB brawer system - at 1 tenth the asking price and free shipping... I figured I could salvage something from it! There is a reason for this purchase (as long as world war three doesn't start) -I will have 30 days off in...

My solution to having the tire and wheel become a trap for a stump or rock...

So bought a scratch and dent front skid for 27 bucks... cut it up to work with my bumper. Then I finished a skid made out of 5/8 alum plate that keeps the tire from becoming a trap for stumps and rocks to get caught up in the center of it. Also helps it slide on snow!

Nope... it is the Beartooths, west rosebud river/ Emerald lake- south central Montana.
