Making the best of the old work truck I have to work with / Project creep commencing (Same as it ever was)

[Road Trip]

You know it's getting bad when you have to take a break from listening to the news...

I'm not in a position to drop everything & take a much-needed mental health break...but if I was,
I think I'd head west & go see this one more time. It's been awhile.

My favorite shot to date that I've taken at the Grand Canyon:

Note: Not hot-rodded w/software. Much better color fidelity this time around thanks to a quality polarized filter screwed onto the end of the lens. Finally, I took a photo that gives the viewer a better feel for what I remember seeing in person.

I've been to the Grand Canyon any time I could afford the detour. So over the years I've actually been there in all 4 seasons, and it never fails to humble yours truly.
(You should hear a thunderstorm at the big ditch...the big bass echoes & reverberations sound as layered & complex as the visuals are to the eyes. :0)

Anyway, mom says that we have to share. And especially if you haven't been there in awhile,
then maybe take your kids/grandkids to the Grand Canyon before school fires back up.

What a great excuse to make memories...which just happens to require a road trip to make it so.

That is one beautiful truck. I'd have bought it based on color alone! Welcome to the forum, you and your truck seem like a great addition to the community!

That’s a beautiful shot of the Canyon - I can see why it’s your favorite!

The Colorado Plateau was my playground for years, and back in the mid 70s and early 80s I was fortunate enough to live in Flagstaff, less than 100 miles from the Canyon. Oddly enough, during that time I only hiked into it twice. One of those was to the river via the Kaibab Trail (the shortest, steepest trail), under a full moon. Epic.

However, then and after moving from Flagstaff, I‘ve spent many an hour on the rim. Mainly the South Rim, but a few times on the North Rim, simply taking it all in.

Watching a sunset with the rise of a full moon from Shoshoni Point was my best sunset/moonrise experience, bar none.

A few years ago I went there with a friend and my younger daughter. Here we are, hanging out.

Makes me want to take a road trip, Road Trip!

Welcome to the forum. It sounds like you will be a really good person to have here when it comes to chasing down the really unusual problems.

Late to the party, but Welcome from Minnesota! That's a beautiful truck! I'm surprised it sits up so high for a 2WD. Thank you for your service from a ARNG Soldier.

Boots97,

Sincere thanks for volunteering to serve & protect our country. Proud to make your acquaintance!

When I saw the truck for the first time I was also surprised by it's stance. The PO had upgraded
to the the P265/75R16 tires, and adding those in under the 8600 GVW suspension puts it right in
the sweet spot for me. (Stock appearing, but something doesn't look quite right...) Between
that and the big block soundtrack there was no way that this wasn't following me home.

And I also enjoy the camaraderie in this forum. Always fun to meet fellow civilian & military types
who independently came to the same conclusion about what was the best truck for them.

Thanks for stopping by. Safe travels --
