    Howdy Rich,
    First it was the land down under and now a new rig! Excellent! Sure glad you didn't get a new girl, I'm starting to get use to seeing her in your photos. How come she isn't in the new truck? lol! Almost ready for Alaska too, aren't you? Go with your bad self!

        Nice Rig!! I guess you are singing "north to Alaska". Is everything a go for the trip?

          Ya, everything is a go! I leave in July but before that I have to roadtrip to Texas to give my sister my old truck for her graduation. Then I'm roadtripping to Colorado to meet up with the family in Estes Park to go camping for a week!

          I still have to get my racks on my truck and that should be it!

            Ricard, Nice truck man how much weight can you pull with that?

            And what does the little symbol mean with the truck on the hill icon?

                    Howdy Rich,
                    Go On With Your Bad Self! Excellent man! Thanks for taking the time to link the photos too! Sometimes if there is just a link, a person may not want to see all of another person's photos but linking them this way is great! I'm happy for you, man! Have you taken lessons in kayaking for fast water? Keep the photos coming Rich!

                    PS: What kind of sound system are you running in that beauty?

                      You will have a lot of people staring when you drive by.
                      When you get to where there are trees you'll have to watch the low branches.
                      Are you adding protection for those big lights?

                        I'm just running factory sound in mine and no I've never taken lessons haha I didn't know I needed to take lessons Come to think of it... the only thing I've EVER taken lessons in was swimming when I was younger. I prefer to teach myself

                          Howdy Rich,

                          That's how I learned white water kayaking too, kissing a lot of submerged boulders. Flat water kayaking is an enjoyable sport now that I'm old as dirt.
                          I really like your truck and seeing some photos of you actually camping again will be great! Kayaking is fun any way you cut it! And so is Camping! North to Alaska in July, I'm pleased as punch for you and have a great trip to CO too! As always, Thanks for sharing! And to answer an earlier question, I do have a mount installed on the kayak for the GPS and also a couple of tripods mount too. But this summer I'm stuck on my rump with back surgery in June(old ranger injury has finally caught up to me). But I'll be camping by October. When I go into that hospitol I'm going there to work on my recovery, not waste away like other old soldiers I know!

                              you are right about it being a masterpiece.
                              When will you upgrade the tires?
