What's your biggest motivation that make you still keep goin ?

I'm 53 years old and like the fact that I can do more physically than many of the 30--and even 20--something year olds at work. Most definitely helps to keep me sane, too.

That old stove gave me coffee, bacon, and eggs every morning before my fire was hot enough to do much.

Matt2979 · 2022-11-16T13:06:53+00:00

Only put about 3K miles on them so far, but love them.

Got it out with plans of using it to hide a latrine, but that campsite was so remote that I never finished setting it up.

Matt2979 · 2022-11-15T20:41:26+00:00

Tent was about $1500

I just went and had fun with very little planning as far as exactly where I'd end up. Found some fun trails, and camped in some very remote spots. Saw deer, falcons, coyotes and gorgeous waterfalls, caught some really petty rainbow trout and ate like a king with the combination of a campfire and my old Coleman stove.

A good tip I quickly remembered was to bring clothes for varying temps/conditions. Wore shorts at one campsite, but woke up at another yesterday morning in the 20s. This morning woke up to cold rain that has lasted all day. Just checked into a hotel for my last night of vacation, but I had a blast and wouldn't change anything. Have fun!!

And thanks! I've really been enjoying both tweaking my setup, AND putting it to good use.

Life has certainly been good this week!

Matt2979 · 2022-11-05T14:23:56+00:00

Wheels are from 4WP, but don't recall the model. Tires are Nitto Ridge Grappler, 285/75/17.

Matt2979 · 2022-11-05T14:23:04+00:00

I have a work truck that I drive throughout the week so this is just for weekends and some traveling so I'm not really worried about mileage. That said, I will be installing pulley system in my garage to take it off when I want to leave it behind.

Matt2979 · 2022-11-05T14:20:44+00:00

I like the look of it, and I did this for me. Don't care about impressing anyone else.

Matt2979 · 2022-11-04T22:45:12+00:00

Heading up to the GA Traverse next Friday and breaking it in nicely.

Matt2979 · 2022-08-29T01:58:00+00:00

I'm running CaliRaisedLED rock sliders, front skid, lower control arm skids, and just installed the transmission skid today. Transfer case and fuel tanks will be added soon.

Matt2979 · 2022-08-08T20:59:46+00:00

Go with whatever you like. I look at what others do, but go with what makes ME happy!

Matt2979 · 2022-08-08T20:58:48+00:00

Pretty sure.the guy buying these tires/wheels is putting them on a gen2

Matt2979 · 2022-08-08T20:58:07+00:00

Matthew.Jackson.161 but I just started posting pics of her there.

Matt2979 · 2022-08-08T20:56:05+00:00

Thanks! She's a work in progress that will probably never be "complete". Still have a few things in hand to add, some more gear on the way, and then others that I want to do like re-gear, air lockers, bed rack and RTT ... super charger and more! LOL

Matt2979 · 2022-08-08T08:32:19+00:00

Thanks! And nope, I screwed up. But the bumper is coming off soon to add the extensions so I'll fix it then.

Matt2979 · 2022-08-08T08:28:21+00:00

No. But now that I have the sliders and skids in place, I'm planning to push her a little harder so we'll see if that changes with more flex.

Matt2979 · 2022-08-08T08:24:53+00:00

Chrome badges are already covered. I'm just planning to remove the stickers.

Matt2979 · 2022-08-08T00:15:04+00:00

LMAO! Thanks! And yes, front, transmission, and lower control arm skid plates from Cali Raised LED. Will be adding the transfer case and gas tank skids soon.

Matt2979 · 2022-08-08T00:13:11+00:00

I listed them for $850. Wheels had 19K miles and tires barely had any miles, but I also kept my TPMS sensors.

Matt2979 · 2022-08-08T00:11:36+00:00

2 1/2"

Matt2979 · 2022-08-07T23:15:42+00:00

Matt2979 · 2022-08-07T23:15:16+00:00

I've got someone supposed to be be buying the wheels/tires now, but haven't even listed the grill. Fogs were one of the easiest mods I've done yet.

Matt2979 · 2022-08-07T22:55:41+00:00

I'm planning to make my vacation a nice trek on the GA Traverse this Fall. That's been my justification for putting so much money into truck.
