Laramie, the truck looks awesome on 37s! How does it ride with the Thuren shocks? Also, nice touch with the AF flag. Aim High!

Thanks brother,
Rides nice. I really can’t reccommend the addition of the rear trackbar as well really plants the rear end.
The flags weren’t on purpose but it worked out well. Wind just happened to cooperate.

Do you have the rear shocks too, or running the factory still? Also, are you saying you “cant” recommend the rear track bar?!

Sorry was trying to type while eating lunch. I can’t recommend it enough. Absolutely need to purchase it well worth the $$.

No rear shocks. Just the fronts so far. I will get them eventually but didn’t have the funds at the time. Also have to get the steering stabilizer.

Been a "work on the truck and get it ready for winter" long-weekend.
Old yaesu-vertex has been misbehaving for a while... quit passing audio from mic to RF deck. Still TX's but no audio gets transmitted, just carrier. Pulled it out... there was a lot more wiring in there than I remembered.


New toys.


Pop off the transfer case housing, shove a fish tape under the carpet straight back to the cubby.


Pull some mule tape through, attach to HCH cable, and pull it back.


Little notch in the housing, holds it nice and tight.


Pokes back under the rear seat where the RF deck's going, once that arrives. (Special-order from Motorola, because I want non-standard stuff.)


Magnetic-mic is a neat product, I like it so far. Well built, made-in-USA. I'll get some more/better pics once everything's done.

Quick trip up to a radio site, fix a node that can't get GPS/time lock. Not knowing road conditions to the tower, I was asked to go along because I drive a "monster truck".
It was a non-issue getting up there. Packed snow/ice in the shade, but an otherwise easy drive.


Found the problem... fkin mice.


This site's a solid 8/10 on my creepy-shit-o-meter. I don't buy into ghost/supernatural nonsense or crazy government conspiracy theories, but ... there's something real weird about this place.


It is pretty though.


Real glad to see this place in my rearview. And I miss having cupholders.

Why don't I have cupholders? I took them out. Something broke, and the tray would rattle. Super annoying.


Made some noise and sawdust, dropped in the marine cupholders...


Going to tap into the cig-lighter (ignition-switched) and power outlet (unswitched) circuits to bring into the console.
Need to model/3d-print a switch/LED plate, get outlet boxes mounted, model/3d-print a plate/bracket for my USB charger, hit the edges with a sander, and cover it with vinyl.




Oh, and ... fixed the passenger rear door harness again. Green/Black is for the door-open sensor - locked/armed, opening this door wouldn't have triggered the alarm... unlocked, opening this door doesn't turn on lights.

Nice work sir! Can’t wait to see the center console finished.

After having my rear door wire harness fixed 3x (for free by my stereo install shop), I bit the bullet & bought a new one. Hopefully good for a while. VERY aggravating.

Love the Red Nuclear Hot Line Phone!

Slowly but surely the parts are arriving



Mirrors are the next to be swapped.


Anyone want a Laramie Chrome grille?
Swap some power heated black tow mirrors for chrome?

If your's weren't big-truckin' mirrors I'd take your chrome set off your hands. Crunched my pass. side on a tree branch, it's only a matter of time until I kill the driver side too. Good luck finding a home for them!

Mine never go into “moose antler mode” but I like the convex lenses they offer

Part of the trail was inaccessible due to hunting. Was hoping for a bit more flex but for now the best I could get. My co pilot was excited about the water crossings to get out there

A little front yard flexing...

that's a neat looking Casa
kind of want to see an photo of the who thing, is that a stone turret?

Those are supposed to be Anasazi granaries or defense towers. There is an Anasazi T door in between. The idea is a new home built on a ruin.

Damn, thats quite the front yard!

My new background for a while, thanks MikeKey! So beautiful!

except the road's straight, and there's no snowmobile in the bed of the truck.

seriously need some snow out here. Mid-december and everything's brown.

Here's one of my previous 2010 doing a climb!

We've been out in Moab this week, just having some fun and working on some build videos which I hope to post soon.

Nice pics , looks like fun enjoy the New Year,

Very cool MikeKey! Nice pics
