I joined the club and built a roof mounted solar shower today. About $100 and 4 hours of my day off. Holds about 5-6 gallons of water. I installed a metal valve stem so I can pressurize it and get some form of a stream outside of what gravity can provide.

I might do the Eibach front coil upgrades and some bags in the rear to compensate for the extra weight. I’m waiting for the official release, I know they have a few things in the works.

Absolutely buried myself up behind Idaho Spring on memorial day. Getting stuck with all the lockers on is bad news. Had to hike out for rescue. Winch and bumper are soon to come.
Last of the stuff lying around in the garage went on. Been wanting this awning on for awhile now and finally had the time to hard mount it to the bed rack. Very sturdy. Everything I’ve seen tells me it’s just a rebranded ARB awning that’s not available is the US
All the footage looked great to me, but we are often our own worst critics. If I recall, toytec has a few options. Mine were the toytec branded ones, but I got them for a good deal because they were used. There's a couple other brands too. Armor is always good for the solo trips. I go by myself...
Sweet video man! Looked like a sweet trip.
I had some upgraded lower trailing arms on my last runner and they came in handy a few times. Might be something to look at for some extra protection in the real technical stuff.
What drone were you using?
So this went in last night! Nothing functional but it love the way it sounds and cleans up the engine bay and I got it for a good price. Took maybe an hour to install with basic hand tools. Guess its time to spray out the engine bay too.
This was the inside of my stock airbag after more than a...
Thank you, its been an awesome rig so far. Those older gen Colorados def had a lot of gremlins and I think the redesign was very well done. Any of the small issues that have crept up have been related to the DEF system. Nothing in the driveline, suspension or diffs.
Appreciate it, love this truck so much.
It's kind of meh. You have to reach in to empty it so I don't put anything in there that I wouldn't be willing to grab again and its hard to open the tailgate all the way if its full of stuff. Basically I don't have a better solution at the moment so I...
Most recent add was this cargo box I scored off of FB marketplace. It's Thule but rebranded for MINI. Got it from a MINI parts manager and its pretty nice. Holds my sleeping bag, mat, hammock, pillow, fleece and has room for some other goodies. MINI for MiniMax. I currently have an 8ft awning in...
Scored this sweet Softopper and custom bed rack off of CL for an excellent price. Wish I'd had this for the long road trip but has served me well on a few overnight trips to the rockies. The rack is super stout. The previous owner had a CVT on top of it. Thats not really my style but gives you...
After spending a windy night in the Mojave with nothing but a Slumberjack "Truck Tarp" I decided that something more rigid was a must. Especially considering how often I'm camping above tree line.
This DID NOT cut it and made for a miserable and dusty night. Was almost impossible to cook under...
So ditched the Tundra in favor of something a little more trail worthy. I picked up an 18 ZR2 Diesel after almost 10,000 miles and a trip through AZ, CA, UT and many CO trials I determined that really the only things I needed were just accessories for the truck. The suspension, powertrain...
I was thinking of powder coating mine. I have a set of TRD Pro center caps sitting on my nightstand. I guess they would be TRD Faux but still the exact same spec.

Bit of an update. Finally got my lift on. Went with the Toytec/Radflow performance 3in lift and SPC UCA's. I have to say the new suspension rides very nice and handled the trails yesterday like a champ. Can't wait to get it to Utah.
I want to step my tires up to 295's they should clear with a 3" lift as long as I have the correct offset on the wheels. Line-X will be come soon. I tore the bed up a little with that platform.

I've used it a few times for the tie down cleats. It's also what I have my softopper mounted too as well. I would get the rails, they are pretty affordable and useful.
