Hey Tex! We will be making it back to Texas in the spring, we feel we only scratched the surface by spending a couple weeks there so far. Your state has some amazing areas and the TX Overlanders facebook page has been a great resource!
Just got out if Big Bend and holy moly thats an amazing park!
Pics for attention!
Heading to NM now to spend the rest of the month chasing hot springs!
PC4 is the best campsite we found in the entire park, its absolutely MAGIC!
Also you could totally do that road in a 2WD I believe, I drove about 200+ miles in the park and never had to engage 4WD. Im in a T100 with no fancy lockers or anything either. Its bumpy but passable.
Thanks for the writeup! We will be heading to Big Bend for about 5 days starting on the 28th or so. Hoping its pretty quiet midweek so we can get the good camping spots.
@Subspd - I am not, yet. Its on the list and I debate adding lockers but since i didnt get around to it when I had a job and now I have no income, so...
Probably wont happen right now, but it may when we get back into the states and get some income again.

Agreed with CascadeKid, I would rattle can it black and move on.
Nice work on finding the seats and center console, seriously the most comfortable seats of any truck I have owned!
Greetings!
I am going to be spending about 6 months in Baja this coming year (January-June) and would love to have a copy of the Baja Almanac with me.
Before I go and spend copious amounts of money on Amazon I figured I would reach out here.
Two thoughts:
You have one you no longer need and...
You got bucket seats in that bad boy? If so, then you are among the elite. I traded my bench for buckets and it was the best upgrade I ever did.
Seconding you on the hub swap, really no reason to switch to manual locking hubs. Sure is nice to be able to go into 4WD on the fly.
I have put...
I just pulled my mattress out of the CVT and took the whole thing into the local foam store. Mine is now 2" of a high density foam with 1" of soft low density on top. They cut it to size and put it back into the cover for me, I think it cost about $100 all in.
Any local upholstery supply...
So, we are leaving Maryland next tuesday and will have about 3 weeks to explore NH/VT/ME
Anyone have any suggestions or must-see areas in that area? Primitive campsites with a view are a bonus.
Awesome! Me and a buddy came up with the bumper and fabbed it, I have zero complaints about it thus far. We had a great time seeing friends in TN, although it would have been nicer if it wasnt so dang foggy/rainy! We will be back in late october!
