    May of 2021 I hit the road with a group of newly met friends and we explored New Mexico, Utah and Colorado for a week.

    Right after the Utah trip I went to Llano and wheeled with a group Toyota's in Texas for the weekend in July 2021.

    My next big trip didn't come until March of 2022 when a group of us got together and went and explored the Ozarks in Arkansas.

    Up to the point where the truck sits today, I have a few mods in store and plan to make some upgrades soon.

    Very nice build! Beautiful rig. Got a couple questions surrounding your battery situation. Did you extend your positive battery cables or just run new ones to reach the other side?

    LMAO, thank you! Snorkel is on the list after the Ozarks trip! Plus it would have helped alot with all the dust in Utah. I was cleaning my filter at camp every night. LOL

    I extended them. I looked into replacing them and it looked like a pain. I wasn't to keen on extending them but it's been like that for going on 2 years and never had an issue so far.

    So about a week ago I made a trip out to @STravis place and had an SOB Fab high clearance dual swingout bumper installed. Talk about a work of art and killer bumper!

    Travis was even cool enough to take me out to some trails afterwards where we learned this Texas boy isn't to good at snow wheeling! LOL

    Travis' killer rig absolutely dwarfs my rig!

    Back at the house I got the SOB Fab bumper all cleaned up, shackles and Baja Design S2s installed.
    Now I just have to get my matching full size spare set up and figure out what I'm going to mount to the bumper swing out.

    Well, I finally took the time to install my LCS Fab Cab Mount Relocate bracket, pushed the UCAs forward and set caster to 6.4 which was maxed out on setting A, and threw some 2nd hand 37x12.50R17 Cooper STT Pros on. Came out pretty nice but man that's a lot of tire and gas mileage really went to crap! LOL The 0 offset isn't helping either but it seems to be clearing everything for now. Gonna put it through its paces and see what needs attention or if I may make the swap to a + offset wheel.

    20230325_112933.jpg

    This is just mock up. I threw a longer bolt in there once everything was finalized!

    20230327_092607.jpg

    Pinch weld sliced and hammered in then coated in 3M body seam sealer.

    Not totally flexed out but its all I could find for now to check for clearance. There rear tire is about 1/8" from the inner fender when smashed on the bumpstop pretty good.

    Went out this past weekend for a trail run with the Toyotas in Texas group. Camped at the lake Friday night then made our way down to the coast to camp on the beach Saturday night.

    Been waiting for a Jerry can holder and finally decided on the Backwoods Adventure Mods Jerry's Can Holder.

    I've been needing tires for awhile and since the 37s have been doing well I went ahead and picked up a set of 5 Toyo RT Trails in 37x12.50R17. First impressions, they are way lighter than the STT Pros and you can tell it in driving and fuel economy. They also ride great and are super quiet.

    Also finally got the nerve up to cut a huge hole in my fender and install the Dobinson snorkel. Still waiting on my Snorkel Upgrade pre cleaner to finish it off currently.

    While installing the snorkel I also relocated my air pump breathers inside the engine bay near the firewall topped off with some 1inch K&N air filters.
