Wow!! Congratulations on the new rig and camper. Looking forward to the build you do.

Yep - KP and crew did a great job on our installation. Very tight and saved a lot of space. Works great using flexible panels which I think weigh in at about 10 pounds

We have a 21 tundra with an ATC Ocelot mounted full time. Have the Boise spring pack and a factory sway bar. Stock shocks on the truck. Have not had any issues with this setup and it works well on rough roads including six weeks in Baja last winter driving both the pothole highways and some 4WD...

Interesting. have been on several roads in parks that are called 4WD but really never needed. Will be interesting to see how many new signs will go up in the parks to try and explain this one.

the Bugaboos parking lot is famous for this also. Chicken wire is provided to wrap around your vehicle.

That should sell fast!

Ah do-overs. The life of a DIYer and everyone who builds things. I met a woodworker who became a fine furniture maker years ago and when I saw how many prototypes he went through to get to a finished product - that was a light bulb moment for me!

I would highly recommend getting these map books. Lots of very good information and the maps are a good quality and scale. Used them while on fires in BC last year and regular travel: https://www.backroadmapbooks.com/

Update on our old 2005 Tundra. Found a broken leaf spring after seeing the post. Called around and most estimates were in the $2000 range for repair (both sides new). Called a place in Missoula that does semi-trucks and logging truck suspension and they replaced the leaf spring, took apart the...

yep. we usually had one or two semi- truck wrecks and a few vehicle fires along the Pass road when I was there. And I used to call the smell of burning brakes the smell of summer in the Tetons.

here is another site: ALERT Wildfire I use these cameras often when on a fire. They help a lot, but certainly do not replace staffed lookouts.

we had a Goal Zero before we had camper with solar. It worked well but the batteries lasted two years and the solar panel about the same. Goal Zero did replace the battery but not sure I would trust it long term

always a pleasure to see your work and trips!

Thanks for the great photos! Have not been in those areas for a number of years now, need to get back!

That is why I bought a 21 when I found out they were using a new motor in the 22s. Never sure new stuff has issues to work out.

the local saying is that if this was in the Alps there would have been a tunnel under the pass decades ago. instead they just want to struggle to keep the pass open

well that section had been failing for at least a few years. Was a crack in the road on that corner I watched while commuting from Driggs to Jackson and it was bound to fail at some point. Sounds like it just needed a good wet spring. Another friend who commuted by motorcycle said the breakover...

Lots of places have countertops for sale (IKEA for example). Or you can buy strips and build your own to fit (Rockler, Woodworkers Source).

Wow. Inspired me take a look and found a broken leaf spring on the 05 Tundra! Good reminder to check things over every once in a while,

Local Les Schwab tire buyer. Rotate according to their directions and they have honored the warranty when have had tires go bad. When we lived away from here for a time and moved back, they rotated the tires we did not buy from them for free and balanced two for free. Good customer service and...

Thanks for the updates!!

Watched a nice blonde wolf by the Mary Mountain TH on Monday afternoon. Only two of us stopped to watch and everyone else just kept driving by. Guess beers in West Yellowstone were more important!

no problem thanks!
