Yeah, we were just waiting for you to organize it and then not show up. :) I just wish it were closer. TX is so dang large. I could drive to Idaho in almost as much time. I bought my truck in ID and I regret not spending enough time drive it around Idaho. Although I did spend some time in the...

I made Gunnison CO to Frisco TX in 17 hrs straight. Dumb idea. Left at 10 am after breaking camp. Already dehydrated and tired, and decided to just go home. My buddy had to go the other way and go to the hospital, so our trip was done. Dont want to do that again. But would love to try to...

That doesn’t sound promising! :( i thought it was more like 12, but, really after 8, I’m not really able to consider it. I made a 6.5 hour work trip in the truck a week ago and it’s a beating. I’m just not nearly as tough as I once was. Nowhere near as tough! Maybe I need a good 2 days in...

I wish it weren’t so darned far. I’d do that trip in a heartbeat if it were closer, or if we could find something similar that was closer. The distance is a deal killer for me, and apparently, most everyone else. It’s too bad, I bet that is one beautiful and unforgettable trip.

See this guy in the top right of the window you are typing in? Hit it the little tree picture frame looking thing and this will sow up hit the “Choose files” button, then follow the instructions to browse through your phone to find the photos you want, tap them, a check mark will appear and...

We have strayed a bit off topic, but, let’s carry on, it’s an interesting question in human nature and psychology. Yesterday, I encountered two Jeepers (Jeeper: one who has sunk $80-$100k into a Jeep to make it very trail worthy and may or may not know how/care to use said vehicle for the...

I think maybe you are 100% right.

Ha! I’m a do-Bee for sure! The Jeepers don’t seem to respect the FMVs. Not sure why? Is it because we spent 5-10% of what they did on their rigs? Is it because we have all this power and unstoppable ability? And they have these silly stickers like “if you can read this turn me over” and...

Then let’s go.

I am so sorry this fell through for you. For me, it’s too far and the dates are all wrong. It’s hunting season, and that’s when I make money, so, I’m out. It’s a trip I would have loved to do, it’s just too far away, there would never be a time that it would be close enough for me. Is there...

What? I thought everyone had a 2x4 that happened to fit perfectly between the fully depressed accelerator and the dashboard? I mean, I don't, but lots of people do. :) I bought mine, sight unseen from a fellow SS in Idaho. I flew up and drove it to Dallas. I feel your pain, I found I drive...

I have learned that, just because it's in Texas doesn't mean it's close. Memphis TN is closer to me (Dallas TX) than Big Bend. It's 12 hrs in a 5 ton. Each way. I love the idea of going there. It's a place I have wanted to see for a while. But, my bum and back can't take 24 hrs in a 5-ton...

If this wasn't so dang far. I love the idea of big bend, but I need it to be about 10 hours closer. And I need two trucks a truck and a support truck. Hopefully not, but best to be prepared. Last time i did a two truck road trip, we almost made it 20 miles before one of us broke down!

Wait, didn't you break something else before the trip last year? Like your ankle? Or am I misremembering stuff again???

Yeah, looks like two Land cruisers. From the plate I'd say Australia. Maybe NSW? Not American. What a sweet camper setup that guy has. Really sweet ride. Looks like one of the older ones with a solid front axle maybe?

Well, now that you guys have gone and scouted it out for us, what would a plan look like for 2017? Same campground? Or go farther back into the park? I have a friend who bought one of my trucks. He is interested in doing this next year.

Was that a Toyota Land Cruiser truck I saw? Probably diesel too. I love that truck. You see them all over third world countries, Africa especially, but you have a heck of a hard time finding one here in North America (outside of Mexico and South of Mex). I have put in sooo many miles on dirt...

You won't get any grief from me for glamping. Camping is usually only completely enjoyable in hindsight. In the moment there is usually a small to large amount of discomfort. I like my sleep. And have grown to like my comfort. Go ahead, call me what you like. Princess and the pea, whatever. I...

Cool. Sounds like a good week long trip. It's a long way to go for a 3-4 day trip, but I'd still probably do it. Might think of some stops along the way. Texas has some incredible places that we as residents pass by every day without thought. That distance in a 5-ton, or in a lot of FMV's is...

I hope that is just a sneak peak! Hope there are more pics. I did about 800 miles this past week in the 5 ton. Frisco > Ft. Hood > Quanah > ElDorado Oklahoma > Frisco. Developed a transmission leak in Lampassas, which really stresses the importance of having a tow vehicle with all the proper...
