IM A HORSE - Definitely not a build.

Love the video of some Taco action. I did however decide to go with 33x10.5 Maxxis Razr and not the Yoka 32s, they are not tall enough for my lift. I am not ready for 35s yet. Lol

Took the family on the Spas Creek and Punkin Hollow, didn't have a wingman or time to any others. They are not difficult but fun, especially if you have a campsite onboard. We have out RTT on a trailer now so we can set it up and leave it at Callies. There is a thread I cam across that had a huge loop mapped out from KY thru TN. It hit a lot of the sites and forest roads/trails. I'll track it down and link it.

When you get an idea when y'all are hitting the DBBB, I'll see if we can head that way as well.

That is an awesome and useful set up now! How do you like the 270 awning?? I've been thinking about installing one for the camp trips.

We plan on starting May 29th and being done with the whole loop on Tuesday the 2nd. We plan on spending a full day at hollerwood on Sunday.

I absolutely love the 270. It's been likely my favorite mod on the truck so far. Having instant shade/protection from rain for day trips/camp trips/races has been invaluable.

I am NOT familiar with Hollerwood, but it is just south of Callies! I have been eying Windrock, yet this place is closer. If for some way we can get out that direction by then, I'll let you know. I am working on setting up a trip with my brother who is coming up from FL. I am trying to coordinate with them so we can do a few trails and maybe a ORP as well. Hollerwood is now on the radar.

I'm sure you did the homework on the awning, what do you suggest? You have convinced me to pull the trigger in it!

Got stupid lucky and had a Traildeck show up on FB marketplace 30 mins from me for $600 so I jumped on it.

2 person install my ass. Not when you are stubborn as fuck and have stuff at your disposal.

Once i removed the handle it fit exactly as I had hoped. It solves several problems for me that I have been dealing with. One was having an actual full flat sleeping space. This doesn't matter as much anymore with the tent but it's nice having the option in case the tent is off for some reason or on the Tacoma. Two is having a fridge slide. I can access things relatively easily but it was always kind of annoying getting stuff from the freezer section when the dividers were in. Three is tool storage as I actually do not currently carry tools or spare parts in this truck like I did with the Tacoma. For this upcoming trip I will be assembling at least one full kit for changing OTRE's, spare OTRE's and likely a spare CV shaft. Again I should not be pushing the house on wheels as hard as I do my Tacoma but it's cheap insurance. Plus it's a good space to store my impact and batteries. Probably will store our RC truck remotes and batteries in there too so they aren't bouncing around the cabin.

It's a really nice system and I think is going to make my life so much easier on trips/daily use.

The rear windshield washer hose holds the fridge door up great.

Even though the fridge is higher now the attic shelf still folds down perfectly too.

While I was moving my rotopax slightly to work with the new setting on the tailgate limiter (I forgot I just installed that too from Rack Adapters) I slapped on my chainsaw mount from KimbroughKustoms.

Usually it is mounted vertical but since I have no real vertical space to mount this way I decided a different approach.

The bar is supported in the mount itself and then I basically am using a cam buckle strap to support the other side of the saw via the handle. The full load is now spread evenly on the rack and it no longer wiggles either.

Ironically I did not. CVT was having a sale like 2 years ago cleaning out old inventory. I got this one for $168 on a whim. Things I would look for though are the ones that can stand with or without poles. I only put my pole out if it is raining, otherwise if there is no wind and I just need shade I leave the pole up. Some of the newer ones spread out even further up front than this one too. But priorities for me usually is a balance between weight, cost and preferred function.
