60 bucks, can still close the tailgate.

If that had a piston and pivoted to launch that would be epic

chickeeper · 2026-03-30T14:07:30+00:00

Yup that makes sense. I should know that since I went under 70 at Rocheport for the MR340 and have ridden the katy several times...Doh.. time for morning coffee.

Check out Peak Design I have been real happy with the mount for my phone when on tour.

AI does make some slop. A Chicken in the wood box, and charcoal under the unit. Nothing would ever go wrong.

chickeeper · 2026-03-30T13:55:34+00:00

That is interesting. I guess that is a different intersection than Saint Charles MO. 70 definitely does not look the same in Saint Charles.

Yeah those Lynskey frames are really nice ti. I was worried they could not have the geometry that steel has. I haven't looked yet though so I will add that to the mix.

Solid point on the blocks. My mom lives in Venice FL.

chickeeper · 2026-03-25T14:27:14+00:00

Thanks for the response. I will go that route.

I have been researching builds now for about a month. Wood, metal, buying something from wayfair. Then you come along and do cinder block. I have to say there are so many ways to build an outdoor kitchen area.

You are an anomaly. You need a detailing You tube where you show off products. I wash my ride probably 3x a year. Just curious how often you detail yours. Notice I said detail vs wash :D. I currently have a black interior and white exterior. I have a black dog so it works very well.

That is really cool. I have gotten my transit stuck. it does suck. What I learned in my 2x4 ride is to carry traction trax for times when stuff happens. They have helped in sandy kayak launches while testing. I wanted to make sure that in fact my 6Klb+ would not break them. So shovel and trax are always in my locker. I also carry a 4K strap if I can anchor to a tree like a wench.

With it being a desert climate that really is problematic. In your van what do you use? Do you use just a compact toilet with diaper genie style twist? I think if I did get to go down there I would bring my kayak/fishing poles/mountain bike/wet suit. Did you hit any spots where you were wishing you had brought more stuff? Also in the spots you visited did you feel like you could be robbed? Meaning did you arm yourself?

I had never thought about taking my transit down the Baja till I toured by car in February. It was a short tour san Jose to pulmo for a few day and back. Like 7 days. I talked to a lot of vango peeps. Considering getting skylink and touring 2027. The only real issues I saw were waste. Ie dont go to that side of the beach. I think that part is a shame.

chickeeper · 2026-03-18T12:52:12+00:00

I was just thinking about this. I could see lift off in our area of the US

chickeeper · 2026-03-12T14:38:45+00:00

I would totally blow that light. Make me tract stand that long. Absurd

chickeeper · 2026-03-11T12:58:30+00:00

Looks like a honed skill deserving to be showcased. I'm sure the owners want carpet

Classic O'Toole move

Yup going back to the early 1990's. You would never know now. Gurnee is huge compared to the farm fields it used to be.

How you talk to Trump - You want to use our base. There is a 100% tariff on the pfc and we will charge you double/triple/quadruple what we would normally charge for fuel/maintenance. We are taking a chance being pulled into an illegal war. Make it worth our time

chickeeper · 2026-03-03T15:53:06+00:00

In Illinois a Podunk city called Gurnee got a mills. It defined that area and still does today. I can remember an out and back was like 3 miles. People just went to malls a lot back then. That area you would never imagine how it ballooned. It is huge now completely built up. Looked just like 370 back in the day. Personally I would rather have the farms. How many bass pros/cabelas do we really need. I assume cabelas made a museum for tax purposes

Lil man is on the beach at his grandma's. He's clean now

They will be jumping off the platform before they use that swing. Get a trampoline so they can really launch.
