In Hot Pursuit

[Sparksalot]

Thethirdtwin gets hooked. First time to tow.

How low is the teardrop?

How low is the teardrop?

wow...it doesnt look that low, but that is a serious drop hitch
it looks good...nice and level and the roofline looks to be right there with the tahoe roof

I did an axle flip to help my ex get in easier, so it was dropped 4” a while back. I wanted to undo that when I changed the axle last year, but the new one has a crown that won’t allow the mounting I want.

First outing. 9000 feet looking at White Sands.

 

[Sparksalot]

Tread Lightly. I moved to a different site after the first night to avoid tearing up an already muddy road coming and going every day.

Storm damage. We Will Rebuild!!!

The overland hound resting after a day of doing absolutely nothing.

Stealing a few ergs from dear Sol.

She enjoyed the entire trip. Well, not the thunder parts.

 

[Sparksalot]

New shoes for thethirdtwin. Including a real spare. Of course XD has discontinued the wheel style. I found a kinda similar one made by Vision.

 

[Sparksalot]

Roof rack bars for thethirdtwin. Some assembly required. The t-nut channel was an unexpected bonus. That could be handy for some overland gear.

 

[Sparksalot]

Set the crossbars in place to check desired spacing. At least there will be a spot for muddy boards. I’ll have to respace for the kayak. I may use them for a flat rack too.

 

[Sparksalot]

I have no immediate plans for these, but ditch light brackets are hard to come by for tahoes. I searched for a year to get ‘em for thecopcar.

These are for the thethirdtwin.

Finally got the chance to deploy the Crime Scene Awning (tm) on thecopcar in the field. Also did the teardrop.

Those would be perfect!

I reconfigured the D rings on the deck plate for some better fitting cargo boxes. These will allow more crap to fit inside plus my traction boards to tuck in better.

Overland hound hair, no charge.

I actually have 4 of them. Paid $40 each. Plus the owner at Midguard Outdoors is also Rex. Had to buy.

 

[Sparksalot]

@grubworm Frontrunner has the same boxes for $60.

I shaved the chin of Thethirdtwin. The outer ends of the air dam were begging to hit something.

 

[Sparksalot]

That lowest point? It’s the bumper of thecopcar beyond, with no air dam.
