Hey, man, I love those pictures and your truck looks awesome. They have inspired me to try to get my truck operating 100% and do some backwoods investigating after I get back up to VT next week for school.

I'm at Norwich University out of Northfield, so I can kinda go wherever in the state fairly easily. My ride's not really tricked or anything, it's more just something I like to play around with when I have extra cash.

Very nice pics! I have been giving some serious thought to selling my jeep that was built for rock crawling, and building my 2.8 S10 into an expedition type vehicle.... You give me the inspiration to do so.

I've done many more mods to the truck since the trip, I now have a cap with interior lighting, a roof rack, some REAL tires, onboard air, and a few other things. I have plans for onboard water and a snorkel - I just haven't got that far yet.

If you're into expeditions you should check out these two forums (I'm a member of both):

Also you should do a write up on the onboard air. Or we should do it on mine and do a write up.

I'm lazy, I'll upload them tomorrow when I get to work. Onboard air doesn't come cheap, it cost me about $200 and I still have yet to figure out how I'm mounting my secondary 7 gallon tank.

Sometimes I swear you get out of your truck to take pictures more than you drive around.
Those first few pictures I was kinda skeptical that they were even trails. I thought you were just driving around through the woods.

Re: Wheelin' (Expedition Trip) Pics! [broadband - take a hike]

Actually I very rarely take pics. That's 4+ hours of wheelin and only a few pics, I only take pics when I stop for one reason or another. Then I'll hop out and snap a few. With the amount of wheelin' I do I should have a lot more pictures than what I have.

And yes, a bunch of those pics I was just driving through the woods - no trials there.

Re: Wheelin' (Expedition Trip) Pics! [broadband - take a hike]

I like the cap because I now have the roof rack, which makes my light bar look not as much out-of-place on the truck. Also frees up my bed a bunch having the spare tire up there (and whatever else I can strap to the top).


I do have pics of the onboard air, but I don't want to post anything until after I have my 7 gallon tank mounted. I still have to make a better mount for my 4 Liter tank, since I originally mocked up a mount with wood - and then never got further than that.

You should do a whole onboard air write up. Cause I said so.

It's easy as **** to do. I'm sure if you got a kit it would come with instructions.

I've already given you the link weeks ago


Edit: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/12L-3...spagenameZWDVW

I have a different pump (I wanted more CFM vs higher PSI) and a smaller tank because I have a 7gal.
