Nemo Trip Report!

Last weekend [MENTION=106527]Erickson[/MENTION], his gf, and I went up to Nemo for some camping.

Looking good in the campground parking lot


The Emory River


We drove up some rocks


Heading in the south portal of tunnel 24


About half way though

On a bridge

Our little camp


Here's the awning in action! We were supposed to get rain/snow/sleet during the night, but it didn't do anything!


Me making some yummy pizza






Sunday breakfast- eggs, sausage, and biscuits

I forgot to post that I got my steering rack changed out last week. Super smooth now! Took me 5 hours total :0




I also got my Anytone Smart CB Installed. I don't have a pic, but it's super tiny, has great range, and is easy to use!

Tennessee 4Runners and Gypsy Overland & Offroad had a great time at Prentice Cooper last Saturday! I tried out my new tire deflators and they definitely beat using an air gauge for the whole time lol

I enjoy looking at your pics! Love your rig! I'm glad you are giving her a good fun life!

I used to wheel Prentice Cooper ~10 years ago when I was an East Coaster. I'm sure I have a photo somewhere with my old truck next to that green-topped building at the trailhead.

I just ordered a 5th swamper for a spare! I got a blemished tire (just had lettering defects) for $136 shipped!! I guess I'll just keep it in the back till I try and make a tire carrier.

I'm going to the junkyard this Saturday. Hopefully is has good 1996-98 style headlights so I can fix my headlights since both of the brackets are broken. I'm going to polish the edges of the class up and make them look better because they honestly look terrible up close around the edges.

I'm also on the lookout for 2 split 3 alloys, so if anyone sees any in the middle TN area for cheap, let me know

Black 3rd gen has 235/85r16 Treadwrights I think

Mine has 34x10.50-16 swampers

Black 4th gen has 34x10.50R17 KO2s

:hunter:

I almost forgot about my action shots!






Here's a video of my denting my rock slider... I'm glad I have them. I didn't think the hole was that deep :wow:
