What did you do WITH your Gladiator today?

Camping another night on the trail. Cell signal tonight LOL

Looks like Bloody Basin Rd. off I-17. Nice teardrop!

Southeastern UT

Unfortunate results

I spent 20 minutes spraying all that junk off. I have at least that much further to go. I hate mud. Awesome day on the trail and the last 45 minutes of it were spent slogging through muddy access roads to get back to civilization.

I do, the Genesis system. But the aux battery is pretty small. Based on seeing what amount of power some youtubers use with the lithium power packs I probably would need at least 2 more AGM’s to power one longer than half the night. But the tent is going on next weekend hopefully with some help and I am working up plans for either a gas or diesel heater. I think those would be a little more efficient on battery use. But I do have a 20 degree bag and a lot of long johns. I probably could start camping out now since night temps arent getting below 0 anymore and daytime high today was low 50 in the valleys.

Thought you had big battery in the bed, must’ve been someone else?‍. Even a jackery type device could run a blanket, not necessarily a huge house battery.
Diesel heater would be nice!

Heard it was snowing in Big Bend yesterday. Had to go see for myself. It was a great trip that really changes the beauty of Big Bend. My son had the chance to drive some easy trails and learn a little about 4 wheeling in his tundra too.

Wow wow wow. I really wish I had time to get out there before I leave Texas

I have the factory group 31 sitting on the porch (since the two genesis batteries are under the hood). I am planning to put that in the bed but I haven't decided on how to mount it yet. Battery boxes online don't seem to meet all that I am looking for thus far. Hoping to have a solution figured out here in a month or two.

LiFePo4 FTW! (If you use it enough to spend the $$)

Lithium is cool but it doesn't do well in cold climates. I have about 9 months of winter with below freezing temps at night, and probably 4 months of those are below 0 at night and below freezing during the day.

This isn't for a group 31, but might give you an idea.

Those are neat but I dont need any of that. I already have the electrical system and switches. What I need is a plastic battery box that will hold down the battery inside of the box, not just tie the strap on the top - that doesn't actually secure the battery inside the box - so it is free to bounce around. I haven't found one yet. and will probably have to make my own.

I took my trash to the dumpster, lol.

We went sailing!
(Well the Jeep watched from shore.)
Forecast called for southerly winds so the plan was to put in at Gilbert Park in Mount Dora and sail an easy 30-45 min westerly beam reach (perpendicular to wind) to Waterfront Park in Tavares, (5.5mi) grab lunch, then sail back.
Actual conditions were more like SW to WSW so had to sail uphill in 15mph+.
I had always want to experiment with pinching (sailing closer to the wind direction than optimal) to see if straightening out the course would improve overall time but never had the patience or thought conditions would facilitate it.
The wind direction and my experiment made the first leg 1hr50 minutes instead of 45. (That's sailing) but lunch and the goose islands were that much tastier.
Pics are of a motorboat regatta right off Waterfront Park which was postponed due to high winds (wimps.)
The ride back was the initially expected 45 min but temps were dropping and it was a lil chilly.

A great day on the water.

I was tasked to clean out my nanas broken pots and ‘creepy’ looking things before her house hits the market. Statues, planters, and some other trinkets.

Sunday I hauled our (new to me ) king sized sleigh bed.


its nice having a truck again.??
