PEAK PUTTERS

*** Disclaimer: I took exactly (3) photos this weekend, of trees, so I'm assembling what I've got access to into the garbage below. As such, it's probably better than usual :oops: Don't get used to it :lol: *** Instead of braving the crowds of ghosts and goblins roaming the neighborhoods in search o...

It's where I keep my recovery gear. I wanted to make sure it was VERY accessible because, well, because I need it often

As threatened:

Whew... I'm pooped. Just a tick over 2,000 miles round trip covered in a span of less than 30-hours of actual driving time between Wednesday and Sunday. I'd do it again tomorrow though 8) So, short story long, the idea of going to Trail Hero was a very last minute thing. My daughter is attending col...

Reserving this space for a run report that is likely to include copious amounts of shame, humiliation, and general whimpering

See you in a week...

To put a bow on the wiring saga, I pulled the lower dash module out and slapped in a dual rocker switch panel. These are wired into the two remaining slots in my 6-gang aux panel dealio under the hood, ultimately leaving me with one spare switch for, well, for something :? IMG_4497.JPG Since Dryside...

Two years on from the last update, the GTFO Camp Trailer has seen several thousand miles of use (abuse??) everywhere from WA, OR, ID, and even Canada :shock: I definitely cannot claim any titles about the most miles or states, that likely belongs to OG and his trailer build, but I can relatively con...

Wiring is among my least favorite things, but I'm plugging away at it...

Lacking adult supervision, I made some loose plans to explore the region between Hwy 410 and I-90. I've traveled the first section of my planned route several times, which is the Bald Mountain / Barber Springs route connecting Hwy 410 to NF-31. The rest of the trip was uncharted :thu: Here's a map o...

In preparation for what I'm satisfied will be nothing short of a regrettable endeavor, the LJ is getting some rock lights:

My latest Etsy order finally arrived :oops: :roll: so I could finish up the interior piece of the auxiliary switch wiring debacle. It's a super sweet 3D printed bracket that replaces the sunglasses compartment in the overhead console and cleanly mounts the switch panel: IMG_4463.JPG IMG_4464.JPG It ...

Finally got around to wiring up the useless auxiliary lights :oops: First step was to fabricate a quick bracket to hang the auxiliary power distribution center. I used an existing fender bolt and the firewall stud for the fender brace as mounting points: IMG_4187.JPG IMG_4188.JPG Then I ran the wiri...

Fair question... I honestly never even considered it because as a pharmer it just seems that most tanks are machine grey

Doing more truck stuff:

Again copying myself from the Gladiator build, I whipped up a quick mounting solution for the fire extinguisher to take up the space below the toolbox on the driver side: IMG_4032.JPG IMG_4031.JPG And for the passenger side, I built another air tank: IMG_4134.JPG IMG_4136.JPG I may swap out the air ...

Just some reference information for anyone interested in such things... For anyone paying attention, I've had a couple of different trucks over the years :oops: :roll: :lol: Everything from half-tons to one-tons, gassers, diesels, imports, domestics, manual transmissions, slushboxes, cloth seats and...

As I was stumbling through Ranch & Home the other day, I happened upon an open-box special on a very nice toolbox that fit fullsize trucks. My mind began wandering a bit, as the only full-size truck currently in the fleet is the Power Wagon, and it came to me with a very nice tonneau cover that ...

With modern factory LED lighting packages, the need for aftermarket lights is, well, not really so much of a need anymore. Sure the aftermarket stuff adds light output and helps you see more, but need is a very strong word, especially as it pertains to the use case of 99% of all vehicles on the road...

This warmer, yet not scorching hot, weather is the perfect time to tear apart interior plastics because its relatively soft and pliable. Doing this sort of thing in the cold almost guarantees breakage, and I hate tearing this stuff apart in the first place so why not procrastinate until the conditio...

Finally got around to installing the fire extinguisher overhead. I really like this location as it's easy to grab and highly visible for anyone that may need to react quickly. To mount it up, I used a pair of rubber well nuts and sunk them into the plastic structure in the center of the overhead sou...

With the recent moisture it only made sense to capitalize on it and head for elevation. Mercifully, the choking dust experienced the weekend prior had been completely eradicated, and we even found some snow :shock: IMG_3789.JPG IMG_3790.JPG IMG_3792.JPG IMG_3794.JPG IMG_3800.JPG IMG_3804.JPG IMG_380...

Almost 5-years ago, we took a trip up Fortune Creek to czek out Gallagher Head Lake ( http://www.peakputters.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=7105 ) and I've been pining to do some additional exploration of the area ever since. This past Sunday, things lined up just right and that opportunity final...

Given that the Power Wagon comes factory equipped with a 2" taller suspension than your average Dodge, combined with the new 37" tyrez, this turd is plenty tall... To that end, I have no intentions of adding any sort of suspension lift, especially taking into account that this will still h...

I generally understand why dealerships do this, and I often see vehicles on the lot advertised with "brand new tires", but said tires are of the absolute lowest quality you can buy... Honestly I'd prefer they sell it to me with whatever clapped out garbage was already there, but that's jus...
