I can't recommend enough for a future project to build an air deflector for the front of the GFC. Stock, the leading edge of the over-cab portion of the GFC makes for bad aerodynamics. I was able to raise my mpg by two at times and the deflector I built mercifully ended the thrumping/shuddering sound and vibration cause by the stock GFC leading edge at highway speeds. Also, I was thinking of making rear hatch handles like you installed, but felt the outside handle would provide a jerk-open point for any miscreants wanting to break in. Stock the rear hatch is sometimes a problem to open, but the trade off is that locked the hatch is harder for banditos to open! I really like those towel hangers you installed. Good idea. Thanks, Kaden.

I'd love to add an air deflector to the GFC setup! If there was one I could buy off shelf i'd go for it but currently my DIY capabilities are pretty limited, I dont have tools (or the time) to work on a lot of side projects. The grab handles have been great, definitely a good point though for those outside handles but i'm really hoping I just dont run into any banditos to break in lol Thanks for watching!!
@Heiserton

I hear you on the handles. My handles weren’t really designed for just every day opening, although they work well for that. They were designed for use in colder climates that see snow and ice. The corner latches offer almost zero purchase to be able to open an even mildly stuck hatch. I suppose those could be used to try and pull the panel open, but they’d have to brake the metal locking tabs first, and I’m positive the VHB would let go before that happens.
Nice recovery from leaving the skottle legs behind! Lol

While I was at OverlandExpo West, one of my neighbors I was camping next to gave me a suggestion on how to make the fire out of the ignite fire can come out higher. If you get a 1/16 inch drillbit and drill the little hole that’s inside the connector to the fire pit, you will get higher flames because you are allowing more propane to flow through. And dude, you are killing me with forgetting everything. Lol.

I got a similar pour over coffee cone at REI for $14.95. It seems a little bit sturdier than what you got at Daiso, but definitely not 10 x better! Lol. I use it all the time, especially for backpacking. Gets the coffee to you almost as fast as you can boil the water.

"Slightly in German" LOL I use a 40f sleeping bag, but I have a liner for early spring and fall. Would definitely recommend! How many campsites do you estimate are out there? I was curious if I could find a spot if I went Friday night, or Saturday morning?
@Kadenventures
2 ай бұрын
lol! its more like English words underneath German text and pictures lol I did just buy a sleeping bag liner and it definitely helped! There are a ton of campsites along this road especially as you go down further, we've camped as far down as close to the trailhead (which i cant remember the name) but as you go down this road is forks, private property to the right and left goes into more BLM area, down this road there are a bit more pull offs. My recommendation would be hit up Google Maps and check out Satellite view of the road so you can mark possible spots along the way, some smaller roads veer off and into open spaces like this one: 36°10'00.9"N 115°35'52.4"W so i think you'd be fine if you went Friday or Saturday morning

I've been using Toyo tires for probably 8 years now, I had the AT2s first, then got the AT3s and now these are the 2nd AT3s I've had (each set I've gotten at least 45k miles out of them) and i've been loving them! I've never (*knock on wood) have gotten a flat on these, relatively quiet tires and they look great on the truck. I was actually on the fence between these and some KO2s but after some research I decided to stick with what I've been using since they've been so tried and true.
