What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

Spent the past 4 days in Canyonlands and Goblin Valley on some trails. Did some hiking and exploring. Nice to get the rig, trailer and family out and get the adventures started for the year!

Sunday I did some cutting to my rear bumper for more flex... 1.5 inches to be exact... hit rear bump stop just before tire's hit bumper... got about 1/4 inch of clearance

Very cool! I love the rtt on the teardrop trailer! I'm guessing that the kids go upstairs while mom and pop are in the teardrop?

Yes, as nice as that 3in foam pad up there is, it doesn't beat the 6" memory foam mattress in the trailer lol. Kids love it up there. It's like having a tree house!

Swapped out the old holley 600 for my newly reconditioned 750 cfm truck avenger style off-road carburetor. FYI if you want a truck carb and only have one for the street all ya need is offroad needle and seats and a cross over tube so ya don't flood out on gnarly off camber trails.

cross over tube and needle/seats aren't the only difference. The truck avenger carbs have side hung floats and these big holley's have center hung floats. But they still work well in the rocks.

I had to fab up that little bracket that holds my pressure regulator... it came out pretty clean.


There was a huge and immediate difference in performance. Man I missed having that thing!

It just carried me to work today. I scheduled my time with Nissan to have the timing tensioner shoes, water pump and radiator replaced soon. They ordered the parts and will set a date when they arrive. Hopefully this'll get me ready for another 150k miles!
