Ol'Bad's '11 SR5 Build Thread and Offroading Journal

Thanks.
The pictures in this thread were taken with either a Canon 6D or 70D in combination with any of the following: Sigma A 24mm f1.4, Canon 17-40mm f4L, Canon 24-105mm f4L, Canon 50mm f1.4, Canon 70-200mm f4L or Canon 400mm f5.6L.

I mostly shoot with this 24mm Sigma nowadays, but switch over to the 70-200mm when I want to do some subject shots.
 
Your welcome and thank you for permission! I think I know I want to make a once in a lifetime trip up to your area so I can witness all this for my self!
 
Great trip out to the hills today:
Of course you have to get some of the fall colors in there. Gorgeous!









Creepy:

Some Jeep friends decided to join us.



And the view from the top. Can't leave without taking one of these:



The first chute I couldn't make it up. The new winch definitely got a workout today!

Notching a bit:

Some from this weekend. Canadian Thanksgiving in the mountains:








The Larch trees changing color. Always stunning!

Turkey and all the fixins by the campfire. The cooler was surprisingly light after this meal. Go figure.

Howdy all,
I've been around these forums for a while, but never got around to making a Build Thread.
I'll just start with where I'm at right now, and the things I've done to the runner recently and we'll take it from there.
All other modifications made are in my sig.

New wheels and tires this weekend:



Back end is a bit low due to ~500lbs of old tires, wheels and sliders in the cargo area.

Looks good!
 
I came to your thread looking for pics of bronze wheels on a Mag Grey rig and I found so much more. Great build and amazing pics. Your post about an off-roading class made me look for one, not something I had ever thought about before. Keep it up.

The wife and I just picked up a Gen5 Trail and being in Calgary ourselves; this thread should help to guide our adventures!
 
Here's a few from this weekend's camping trip:

The transportation.
Yep, it's a glamor shot. Haven't done one in a while, and had to find something to occupy the time while the other wheeler in the group had to backtrack and find out where the tailgate decided to pop open and dump her cooler. Oops!


The roadblock! Had a bit of trouble getting in to our camp spot this time!


The riverside camp spot.

Finally got the girl some new boots!
Replaced the old STT 285's with some STT Pro 295's. This really is the perfect size for our runners, it's too bad it's not a more common size.
That being said, the size is close enough that I'll be keeping my unused 285 STT as a spare.
So far, the verdict is quiet, smooth and stable. I would have expected a little more squirm given the deep tread and wide spacing between the blocks.
