My 4th gen build

[yotaguy674]

Got back from another 6 day trip to Moab. 2600 miles and so many trails! Crossed over 220k miles on this trip without a single hiccup. I seriously love this rig. I'll be posting more photos and a small summary of the things we did after a few days!:whoo:

That is clever! Next time I'm in the tailgate for fixes, I'm definitely gonna borrow the idea for sure. Thanks for sharing.

Had some lights laying around the garage. Finally found a good use for them. They work great camping as well as groceries/loading up the cargo area. Got a switch mounted in the cargo area to run them.

Camp near Dinosaur tracks north of Moab during our trip a few weeks back.

Exploring a local state forest here in Iowa. The bugs were relentless!

Camp last night and the fish were biting! Cooked up some fresh rainbows for supper and had a few beers.

Also, ordered up a Gobi ladder. Should be here by Christmas...:ybrick:

Still no ladder :sobbing:

Just wanna say, the progression in photography in this thread is nuts- from "crappy cell phone pics" to the content in the last bunch of pages... Awesome, man. Just awesome.

On a side note, you had better have caught those bows (back in July) on the fly! :cheers:

Alright well summer has come and gone. We have had some awesome trips and camps this year! But as it gets colder and colder it's almost time to put the tent back in storage...my least favorite time of the year. Got my Gobi ladder in and installed. Super easy to do and very good quality. My waterport mounts up perfect, although even with strong arm lift supports for the hatch, it's pretty difficult to open up. Oh well.

I'm also considering selling my front bumper, so if anyone is local to me and wants to buy it, hit me up!

 

[hinmo24t]

why selling the bumper?

 

[volkinator]

why selling the bumper?

I agree! Why are you switching/what are you switching to? (Also, may be interested!)

Just saw this reply and had to respond. It's crazy how things change over time, right? Learning how to run fancy cameras and editing is pretty interesting, but I can't take all the credit. My girlfriend has her own photography business, and also loves to travel with me. Her skills put me to shame! Some of the pictures she has taken and some I have taken. You can probably see the difference lol.

Sadly, I'm not much of a fly fisherman :crybabyalthough I'm considering taking it up) so just regular rod and reel did the job!

Looking to change it up. I have a few things in the works and would like to see this bumper go to a new home. Nothing wrong with it at all! Even with my custom touches it works great.

Let me know if you're interested in buying! (I'll even throw in a lightbar :bravo

Right on. Always good to have a partner in crime with the drive, the tools, and the eye to capture your adventures in photography.
Sounds like I need to take you out on the fly sometime and show you what it's about man! The Iowa Driftless is wicked cool. Besides, I can get you setup with some sweet deals... :eyebrows:

I may have to take you up on that! I know some great spots near me that aren't very well known but have a lot of trout. Hit me up if you're in the area!

I also see you're from Wisco, so is my GF. What area of the state are you from?

Cool beans. Definitely will in the spring!! I'm over in the Sheboygan area, smack dab between GB and MKE.
