Nice, did you get that plano case from Academy? Looks like a stove could fit in there.Finally mounted my awning and also added a Planto 42" box up top.
Justin Timberlake knows what's in there.

I ordered it from Amazon. Nothing in the box currently. For camping trips, it should fit most of my misc crap. I haven't tested it for load out. Additionally, I could store my tool roll and other misc recovery gear up there. Time will tell for what I use it for.

Had to buy a smaller camp stove to fit in the box. Cheap Texsport Rainier Compact. Bought a cast iron grill/griddle to go with it. The box has stayed dry on the inside with all the rain we've gotten this week.

Man, looking at my trip list I haven't done any trips with the truck since February. I may go to the Fall Run at BMRA in October. Right now my next confirmed outing is Big Bend Ranch SP in March. The wife and I are going kid free.
The next purchase I intend on making is a trailer. I've decided on buying a Morris Mule at some point before January. That opens up new possibilities. I may upgrade the RTT to a 4 person so I can fit 3 people comfortably. I can barely fit me and the 2 kids in my current RTT.

Expect 10mpg or less with a trailer, especially in hill country or out west.
Quality tents and sleeping pads/cots has worked well on that 11 day trip last year for the 4 of us and a whole lot cheaper.
With the boys in Scouts, we have used our Camplite trailer and other trailer much less than normal, only once during this past Spring break down in the valley.

Damn man, yeah I'd say you need to replace some gaskets. That being said I do to as well... although not nearly that bad.

Hope your hand/wrist feels better, keep ice on that joker for a good day/two.
How many miles on the plugs and motor?
The thread on those plugs seemed pretty gummed up as well, where they difficult to remove? I change my plugs every 30k and the last time at 100K they seemed to look similar to those.

Plugs had 30k , engine is as 119k. They came out easy.
I'll be making a doc appt to check it out. MRI for tendons is what Tracey says.
I was using vice grips on those hose clamps and the last one was awkward to get to.
I would but moved 100 miles away

Ha. My dad came by and fixed it up. I broke a bone in my hand, small spiral fracture.

Dang....Well I guess that's actually better than a tendon tear/injury
