Looks like some nice mods and a nice camper. Jack

Any updates? Still liking the camper? Jack

Thank you. Yeah, they are still pretty adventurous and willing to put up with my more extreme locations to include the Black Rock, which they really enjoy. Jack

^^That was probably me. You can summit at 11654' in the Sweetwaters on Mt. Patterson, so just a few feet shy of the gate on the road to the research station. Excluding the research station, those are the highest points I know of that you can drive to in California. Here is the trip report...

The "best" is what ever truck works for you. I know Ken made is decision many years ago and has gotten a lot of use out of it. I used to have this: It was a '02 F350 PSD, 6spd manual that I bought new. The above combo traveled from Prudoe Bay, Alaska to the tip of Baja, Mexico and most...

Excellent write up. Looks like a great time so far. Jack

Sorry, been awhile since I was on the board. The install starts on page 19 of my build thread. http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/54356-Jack-s-2007-Chevy-Build/page19 Hope that helps. Jack

Sorry for the delay in responding, life has been busy. I did not on that trip, but I have been in that area a couple of times and it shocks me every time that they not only were on a remote dirt road in Northern Nevada in winter, but they made a turn off of that road onto an even smaller road...

Thanks Jack - looks functional and efficient! No problems. It is, now I just need to get off my #$% and make a better looking one, but it's hard when this one works... :D Great report!!! Looks like fun, wish I could have gone with you!! Sweet rig too. 07 was the last good looking Chevy...

Nice trip report Jack, What is your fairing set up? How did you attach it to the camper, does it just rest on your roof of the truck, and how do you like it? Thanks, -Rick Thank you. Here is the post I made in my build thread addressing the fairing when someone else asked (Slo250). Hope...

Hmmm....you said front locker on our Chevys? Any further details, like price etc? That could have come in handy a time or two. Here is "start" of the locker talk. http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/54356-Jack-s-2007-Chevy-Build/page18 Keep in mind, mine is an '07 and it has...

:lol: Those last pictures reminded me way to much of how I spent to many of my working years-will I make it, or will I need my last last spare ! Any trip you survive is a good trip and you had a house on your truck if you didn't! Nice adventuring trip. Smoke Thank you, it was a good time...

Great trip report and fantastic pictures. Jack

As the title states, my wife and I made a little trip to Death Valley. We left Reno on Thursday afternoon and headed south. We traveled down US95 on the Nevada side. We made it to Armagossa Valley, south of Beatty and decided to call it a night. We turned right into the desert out toward the...

Amazing photos of some beautiful high country. ^^^What he said.^^^ Jack

Thanks everyone, it is truely spectacular up there. Here are some more pics. Lonely truck on the plateau. Looking east from the summit. Looking south. Jack

We worked our way up to Lobdell Lake and continued the climb. We left the highway at a little under 7000' and were at just over 9000' at the lake. From Lobdell lake, the road is used mainly by quads and side by sides, so it gets a little rough and tight for a full-size truck and FWC. I did...

Sorry for the delay, this occurred over labor day weekend and I am just now getting around to posting. This was a quick weekend trip. 4 adults, two dogs, chevy truck and a fwc summit Mt. Patterson in the Sweetwater Mountain Range. My wife, me and my in-laws headed down to Bridgeport, CA for...

Awesome bumper, can't wait to check it out in person. Hopefully your recovery is going well and we can hook up before you leave for AK. Jack

Not bad. I stopped doing fordyce in my Jeep. Just beating it up too much. Wise move staying out of the snow. Thank you, I agree, that trail is hard on equipment. We used to run it all of the time in my rockcrawling days and have plenty of breakage stories (thankfully none of mine). I agree...

The Sweetwaters are an awesome mountain range. Here we are just below the summit at 11000' in my old rig in 2008. Love the write up, makes me want to head there soon. Jack

We have driven Fordyce many times, but this is the first time we have hiked it and I have to say, it gave it a whole new feel. We saw a lot more wildlife. Starting with a little garter snake (didn't get a picture), then a small "tree frog:" Sorry about the picture, I was trying and I thought...

Sunday morning, my wife and I decided that we wanted to see Fordyce and we figured we could see the eclipse as well. The original plan was to drive into Meadow Lake and hike down the the last river crossing. As they say, best laid plans... We drove up 89 and made the turn to head up toward...

Great TR. Thanks for the pictures. Jack

Nice report. And well done packing as much as you did into a week. Jack
