Our new Global Expidition Adventure truck. We bought at the Overland Expo West 2019. We picked it up at Global Expidition in Springfield Missouri on June 14. We did a nice trip thru Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota, Wyoming, Utah, Nevada and then home to Southern California. So far the truck is great!
Oh when your smiling "I am smiling"- you should be too !

Yes I will be camping here tell the 7th of July very beautiful up here this year first time in a long time the forest has looked healthy
That's good to hear, I know you will enjoy, I was supposed to meet up with my Son over the fourth in Colorado but cant make it. How do you like your Durango " What model is it ? Have you had to make any Mods to it ? Are you set up with a kitchen or anything we should see ? Do you camp out ? Not being nosey, just want to bring you in to the fold ! Good to have you on board.

Do you have issues with your engine overheating? The radiator seems pretty well blocked off from fresh air.
No...actually, you can't really see but there's area below winch control and even under on the skid plate start where tons of air comes into the engine compartment. Also the snorkel provides tons of fresh cool air into the air intake. When the wind blows it looks like my hood is trying to come open and is a little uncomfortable watching it.

You'd really worry driving my LRD2. I cant close the hood all the way, because if I did I would never get it open again (hood cable broken, new one sitting in a box staring at me). Going down the road I have a rope across the hood to make sure it doesn't get past the safety latch. Any way as I drive down the road my hood looks like it is having lunch, scary thinking the rope might break. No over heating though !

Before I stuffed the LED light bar in the hood scoop, it was way worse. It would actually lift and I could just imagine it slam into the windshield. Seen enough videos on that. It's seems a lot more stable now and I like the look. A rope would just put the pucker factor over the top.

Pucker LMAO....cant wait to get some armor on my rig so it will look like an adult instead of a child. It won't make her perform any better I know but I like the steroid look. Yours looks like it just ate the family cat and waiting for the neighbors dog next.
