What did you do to/in your 5th Gen today?!

Unfortunately I drove my work van all day. But my state outline vinyl came out pretty good, and it gave me and excuse to try laying out on the back seat while I waited for the adhesive to set.

...Howdy, Folks!...:cowboy:

...This past week reconfirmed the fact that mountain-weather is highly-dynamic....


...the old adage about..."If ya don't like the weather...stick around for 5-10 minutes!"....truly applies here almost daily......


....about 2 weeks ago we were in the high 80s here...toppin off at 92 degrees one day!.....and then the other day.....we got dumped on...:smow:

Beautiful country up there! Here in north-central Nevada we got snow accumulations in the mountains and in the valley floor as well September 29 and 30, but not as much as you. Everything was white except asphalt. Snowed the morning of the 29th, melted in a few hours. On the 30th in snowed and accumulated in the morning and again in the afternoon. Nights have been as low as 10 on two nights, teens and 20s since. Everything froze, the trees are in a massive leaf dropping effort since. Nothing turned their usual autumn gold, just black and dropping.

I have a similar expression that I tell visitors. I tell them “if you don’t like it, drive five miles or wait five minutes, it will be totally different.”

I'm still getting more videos finished from my Nevada/Mojave trip back in July...

This one is the Richmond Mine. I had previously posted this under the title "Ruby Hill Mystery Mine", but recently found out the name and history of the mine thanks to a newly-published book. So I redid the video with the new info:

In this video I visit the Monarch Mine, a historic mining camp in the Spruce Mountain district of eastern Nevada.

This is the eleventh in a series of videos from my 2019 trip, where I explored old mines, mining camps, ghost towns and other historic sites in Nevada and the Mojave desert.

New Eibach lift kit, rims, and BFG KO2s. I’m really liking the new setup.

He’s a member on here that sells the bracket that goes under the panel. The handle at the dealership is like $30. Just measuring and cutting took some time

what kind of rack is that?

Did some crazy off-roading in the Ozark National Forest. 2 hours of Rocks, Mud Holes, Off Camber, Multiple Water Crossings, Steep Hill Climbs and Descents on loose rocks / boulders. Used the rear locker multiple times. Pure insanity. About an hour into the trail we realized there was no turning back, only way to go was forward.

No body damage but got some pinstriping... I need more skid plates if I ever do that again.

This is a tame pic. Didn't grab any of the crazy sections that was most of the trail we were on.

No idea about that rotopax window carrier but curious as well. I have a dual rotopax attachment for my Front Runner but it sits higher.... Joes equipment makes window ones only compatible with Prinsu.

I'm always VERY careful, and avoid entering anything too unstable.

Just gone done lubing the propeller shafts. Ended up just running Mystik JT-6 Hi-temp No.2 for all. Spiders took about 3-4 pumps each, propeller shafts I just did 5 each.

I only have 2024 miles on it so I just wanted to make sure nothing was running dry. I'll probably hit em again at 10K. Only took me a few minutes to figure out where everything was, and roll the truck to the right spot. I did remove a small shield in the front to get to 2 of them.
