I’m here in the parking lot, but don’t see anybody yet. Was there a certain spot we were meeting?

Opening morning of deer season, and deer camp.

Keep checking Craigslist. Decent used ones are all over for good prices. I searched for about 6 months before I found mine. I wanted the vintage look, and only paid $100.

I have a first gen Toyota too (mines smaller though, it’s a short bed!), and I just love the classic looks. The modern trucks pretty much all look the same. But that’s not what was asked. My truck gets into some tight places and narrow trails that a full size would never fit on. And I have the...

Deer season opens this coming Saturday morning, so I was out setting up camp this weekend. This is our hunting area, a big piece of landlocked BLM land behind my buddies ranch. There was a big wildfire on the mountain in the background this summer, so hopefully it pushed some deer our way. Last...

The inland empire Overland Bound group this past June at Pappy and Harriet’s in Pioneertown, California. Mine is the old Toyota in the middle. Next challenge: your rig at your favorite campsite.

38 years old, and only surface rust!

We’re spoiled here out in the desert southwest, no rust! No rain either, but you can’t have everything!

Nice old 4Runner!

Years ago I burned up my clutch on Berdoo Canyon Road in my stock 1984 Toyota pickup! Joshua Tree also has a big area north of the park with many miles of dirt roads, the Dale Mining District. I had a flat tire on 3 of 4 trips there a few years ago. The Mojave National Preserve has many miles of...

October 20th is smack dab in the middle of deer season, and the opening day of quail season. I’ll probably be out in the hills that morning.

Mine’s on the left. This past weekend in Big Bear California with some other OB members before the IE trail run. And since desert season is nearly here, show a pic of your rig in the desert!

I have some 6 inch round KC lights I found at a yard sale. They are spot lights, and work really well. Next will be some floods, but they will have to preserve the vintage look on my truck. No LEDs in 1980!

Last thing I bought was a clutch master cylinder, 15 minutes to install, and a world of difference while driving. Next on the list is a check radio set up.

Death Valley. This is a great challenge, let’s keep it for another round!

I’ve got the day off tomorrow, so I’m going to try and make it up to Fawnskin at 6 if you don’t mind my joining you.

I was headed out this past Friday for Labor Day, and my clutch slave cylinder went out on the Cajon pass. I called pep boys, and they actually had a new one in stock, so a then called my son, and he bought it out to me. The pep boys cylinder turned out to be for a 2 wheel drive truck, but it...

I’ve always been a Toyota guy, so that was first, a solid front axle and manual transmission were also musts. I have also always loved the first generation 4x4 trucks, especially the 1979-1981 round headlight ones, so here we are! It’s a 1980, simple, reliable, and it puts a smile on my face...

I’m leaving today up highway 395. Tonight’s camp in the Alabama Hills, and then Saturday up into the White Mountains through the Bristlecone pine Forest Scenic Byway and Sunday hiking White Mountain Peak. That will be my first fourteener!

Looks nice! I’m hoping to move to northern Nevada in the next few years once I get everything squared away.
