Hello. Which Fourtreks awning mount did you use to mount on the stock roof rail? Thank you. =) I didn't know if I have to order square tubing or what diameter tubing?

I had a plate bracked made up to attach to some Z brackets for the temporary install the few times I've needed it. The fourtreks is ordered for the Gobi.

I spent the weekend with my fellow Texas Overland folks on a members ranch for the 2nd annual Spring Roundup. We had mini seminars covering the principles of tread lightly and wilderness first aid and rescue. Not to mention the camaraderie and shenanigans we all enjoyed.

I hadn't gotten in on the GB for the Overlook Graphics rear window american flag vinyl, but i loved the concept and had them applied right before i headed out on this excursion.

Like the flag on the back window. I get mine soon so I'll be posting my photos up in the OP/Thread on those decals.

I keep seeing all of the pictures from my fiancees FB, looks like I missed out on a good time.

We did have a good time. There were also some stellar rigs out there.

I started planning and building towards my trip to Moab in August. Today I slapped together a storage compartment for the rear of the truck, this is what I came up with.

I was going to carpet it, but now I'm thinking of staining or painting it. Not quite sure yet. I got a tad ahead of myself on this one.

RAM mount iPad mount has been delivered. Much better way to run the pad than the seat bracket type mount in my opinion.

We spent the day in a buddies shop putting up the lighting, reinstalling the awning and started building a "hitch gate" type spare tire carrier. Hope to have that part done Thursday/Friday.

I also ordered new suspension through Toytec so I can ditch the xreas and spacer junk.

So far, i like them. I've put 18k on them so far and have been pleased.

I just picked up my full size matching spare in the 10ply, the ones on the truck are 4ply. Eventually as i need tires, i will replace them all with the 10's.
