Feeling the need to get the truck dirty after work yesterday. Pardon the cell phone shots off the dash but I was more interested in having fun than documenting fun... The views were incredible though.
And the moon was crazy bright.
All in all a fun little rip over a fairly easy...
My first (an only) duck was July 2021. It lives a happy life bouncing around my dash as I bounce the truck around the woods.
The people who get offended at a nice gesture are the same ones who bitch about how nobody is nice anymore. Ignore them and their sad lives. I find as I get further down...
From this past July, didn't really think about grabbing any camp pics, these were sort of "in passing". Took mom (76) up near Kremmling in dispersed camping with the kids.
A bit old school as far as to the setup but the truck allows me to take enough stuff to make my mom comfortable in camp...
It was. The kids actually found it and my daughter went up early Friday to secure it. Mom & I headed over in the afternoon and joined them after a short work day.
Good times.
Found this on a moto ride the weekend of the 4th west of Redfeather Lakes. Didn't get a pic of it but there was a cum-a-long on the other side to keep it from rolling or sliding further passenger.
Sorry I missed out. Took my mom (75 and still kicking) camping with my grown kids that weekend. This is off Hwy 9 south of Kremmling and north of Green Mtn Res. Good times.
I have already installed a VHF/UHF HAM radio (yes, I am licensed) so relocating the antenna isn't a huge deal. Just one of many factors I am looking at. I just want to factor in all the things I would need to plan for if I went that route. Right now the EDC is looking like a pretty solid balance...
Thanks fourfa!
Just scoping some options at this point but the EDC seems to have some advantages over the GFC in regards to space, etc.
Truth be told, weight seems to be a bigger issue was we fit out our JT's to go play.
Hi Harker crew!
Question (I searched the thread but didn't see it): Does the EDC go far enough over the gladiator cab to require the satellite antenna be relocated?
Thanks!
I used the Diamond K412S mount and the Diamond NR770HB (UHF base) for the antenna. It's a trunk/hatchback mount and I attached it to the cowl on the driver's side near the a-pillar.
Good grommet access through the firewall right under the master cylinder. That's where I ran power through as...
Got up to the park for a day a few weekends ago, finally got around to getting the pics off the camera.
HAM radio install finally complete, sway bar skid plate and possibly the inside-the-windshield light bar before hunting season. Have the skid plate, pondering the lighting options...
I see tons of Gladiators here. It's enough truck to hunt with (Try getting an elk in the back of a Wrangler...) but small enough to be a reasonable daily.
Also excels in the camping/fishing space with the gear hauling capacity.
That said, I see tons *more* Wranglers. If I was making the call...
Thanks! Loving it so far.
Have the Quadratec QRC bumper & Smittybilt X2O 12k sitting in the front hall waiting to go on. Been reading about the bolt issues with the Smittybilts so will probably do a bit different option there, probably a combo of some reputably sourced 10.9's and the Factor 55...
