Havent personally had to go through the loss of a pet in a long time. I hope I dont have to for a long time yet.

One thing I know is, NO way would I leave my pet outside at night. I dont even leave him tied out beyond dusk. Coyotes, wolves, foxes and whatnot would absolutely have thier way with a domestic dog, especially one that is literally hamstrung being tethered. It's true that Beagles often run off...

Gorgeous picture of that mountain. The river scenes are nice, too, but that mountain... Which is it?

Big fan of the spare on a swing out rear, a la the 2nd gen and up Broncos. Blazer s10's, Bronco II's. First 3 gens of Rav4, Wranglers and so on. I understand if you frequently access the barn doors it's a pain. It's a pain getting a 50 pound or more wheel up into and out of a basket, too...

I suppose it's possible to change one's mind when new info or products come to light... For me, I would LOVE to put BFG AT KO2's on my truck. But I also have to be a little bit frugal. So I'm also looking at Grabbers, Wilpeaks, Wrangler Trailrunner, and, yes...even these Kendas. I've seen a few...

Kickass rig. Love the square bodies" and love that look of a camper, whether it's a slide in like this or a travel trailer.

When I say that, please realize I say it in jest, not thatvim one to talk. I mean it can be a tough town. Tightly packed population, industrial in a number of areas, right on the water, tight parking...not offering as much to an overlander as other choices, is all. Other parts are very nice...

On purpose?

I did exactly what you did -5100's all around but no block in the back, even the camper shell, but without the decked system. I'm leveled out pretty well and for added clearance, I took of that "chin strap" attached to the bottom of the front bumper. Since then, the first time I helped my buddy...

3-Dog Night, anyone?

I believe those Helwigs I mentioned, allow the truck to remain level as if there is nothing in the bed. So, no lift to the rear. And when the rear is laden, it settles onto the Helwigs which stop it settling any lower. Or something like that

I miss the shifters from the GMT400 platform, but hey, these dials are progress, right. Doesnt matter that if a shitty song comes on I might accidentally end up out of 4wd and into a ditch. I guess that's why they moved the dial from the center stack to the left of the steering wheel

I wouldnt be so quick to blame the shocks. They are not what holds up a load. The springs do that. The shock only keeps the tire on the road. The front 5100's have an adjustable spring perch height. So, when installed, the spring sits higher on the shock than on a stock shock, but the spring is...

Larger rear blocks? Helwig EZ-990 helper springs? I've not tried them, but highly recommend to me. You may want to look into them or something like them. BUT BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING ELSE... Just a couple of points for clarification...I also have the Bilstein 5100's. They only level out the...

Yep. I'd figured that and some other things out. Mainly the Guide Me feature was what I was looking for- something the ON road gps units do automatically. So it's a win!

I'd like to see a short 80's and 90's ChevyVan or EconoLine with the sliding side door all done up 4x4

Uh, for me, I just turn the little dial clockwise and wait for the "shift in progress" message and light. Sorry. Couldn't resist.

Found it. Ok. When you tap on the map, on the route, the menu pops up and scroll to Guide Me. Takes you from wherever you are, to the route and then along it. Nice feature. I was getting tired of moving that map, but didnt want to try and feature hunt while I was out there. Thanks!

Well, I bet even at 2wd, the right tires on there for the right season, will get you almost anywhere you want to go. Forest trails, dessert trails. I can imagine 4x4 would make that one of the roomiest, comfy offroad vehicles ever

I bet you could get at least one kayak -maybe two - up there. The thing for me is, I have the Leer 180 camper shell on there. It rises about 4 inches higher than the cab. On top of that is the rack, which is another 4 to 6 inches higher still. So, I'm getting into "needing a ladder" territory if...
