Transformation complete… for now. 🤦‍♂️ I will be adding a @deckedusa drawer system when we get back from Arizona. So the run down is an RCI 12” bed-rack, and a Roofnest Condor XL. We wanted sleeping space for us and the dog. Yet still needed to fit into the garage. (Oklahoma hail storms! 😂) Not to mention I still wanted to fit into parking garages like in Las Vegas. This tent is very spacious. The mattress seems firm but supportive. It’s super easy to open up. The ladder is my only complaint. It’s sketchy to get adjusted right, but that may be user error at the moment. #ob1699 #adventureisnecessary #overlandbound @riggedfordirt @overlandbound @Rcioffroad #RCIoffroad @roofnest #roofnestflock bulletpointmountingsolutions #offgrid #offroad #adventure #wonderlust #Ramtrucks #hemi #Tradesman #overlandadventure #itwitb #exploremore #expeditionportal #outdoorproject #wildernessnation #roamtheearth #adventurerig #goneoutdoors #awakenthesoul #amongthewild #beardedoverlord #optoutside #Falkentire #Wildpeakat3W #livebearded

I loved my Ram mount phone holder, except during summer time. The problem was with the mounted so close to the windshield my phone would overheat and shut down. Not an ideal situation when using FaceTime to keep in touch with family members… which is why I bit the bullet, pun intended, and bought a new mount from @bulletpointmountingsolutions Very simple to install, holds the phone well, and most important the phone is now in front of the dash giving it plenty of cold air to keep from overheating! 10 out 10 would suggest this product! #ob1699 #adventureisnecessary #overlandbound @riggedfordirt @overlandbound @Rcioffroad #RCIoffroad @roofnest #roofnestflock bulletpointmountingsolutions #offgrid #offroad #adventure #wonderlust #Ramtrucks #hemi #Tradesman #overlandadventure #itwitb #exploremore #expeditionportal #outdoorproject #wildernessnation #roamtheearth #adventurerig #goneoutdoors #awakenthesoul #amongthewild #beardedoverlord #optoutside #Falkentire #Wildpeakat3W #livebearded

Now back to our regularly scheduled program. Out with old and in with the new. Tool box is out, RCI rack installed… now just waiting on the tent. Time crunch with a trip mid August. Now I’m thinking a Deck drawer would be a good idea. Might as well go big. 😂 #ob1699 #adventureisnecessary #overlandbound @riggedfordirt @overlandbound @Rcioffroad #RCIoffroad @roofnest #roofnestflock #offgrid #offroad #adventure #wonderlust #Ramtrucks #hemi #Tradesman #overlandadventure #itwitb #exploremore #expeditionportal #overlandlife #outdoorproject #wildernessnation #roamtheearth #adventurerig #goneoutdoors #awakenthesoul #amongthewild #beardedoverlord #optoutside #Falkentire #Wildpeakat3W #livebearded

It’s moments like these, that make me like this dog. They don’t last long! I say that in jest. Harley is a different dog, she has more energy the meth-head with a case of Monsters. She’s a little high maintenance if you know what I mean, but everyday she’s becoming a little better dog. ———— #ob1699 #adventureisnecessary #overlandbound #Gspoftheday#gspofinstagram #gspcommunity @riggedfordirt #offgrid #offroad #adventure #wonderlust #overlandadventure #itwitb #exploremore #expeditionportal #wildernessnation #roamtheearth #adventurerig #goneoutdoors #awakenthesoul #amongthewild #beardedoverlord #livebearded

Today is Pioneer Day, What is pioneer day you ask? Well, it is an official holiday in Utah, it commemorates the entry of Brigham Young and the first group of Mormon pioneers into the Salt Lake Valley on July 24, 1847, where the Latter-day Saints settled after being forced from Nauvoo, Illinois, where they sought refuge after the Mormon War where the State of Missouri led by its governor passed a law, known as ‘Missouri Executive Order 44’ to exterminate the Mormons from the state in 1838. Executive order 44, was law until it was rescinded in 1976. (Yes 1976! The year after I was born!) In reviewing the Brigham Young Company, the group of Mormons who arrived in Salt Lake City valley on that July day, some very interesting names show up. For starters John Doyle Lee. (of the Meadows massacre fame, he also ran a ferry in Arizona across the Colorado river known as Lee’s Ferry) He was a captain of fifty of the train, and led one Edwin Westover, and Joseph Bartholomew Sr. and their families. From those two families you eventually have a grand daughter by the name of Beulah Westover… who was my Grandmother! So while I’m not a Mormon, nor do I live in Utah, I still celebrate this day, the fortitude and determination of those people during this time is important to remember. Not to mention without them, I wouldn’t be here!

We’re forecasted to have a major heatwave this next week. 105-110 all week. Harleys getting an early start to keeping cool this morning! 😂 for our first summer here in the southern-Midwest (yes that’s what I call Oklahoma) it’s been very hot (record breaking) and very dry! Reminds me of the non-soon we’ve had in Arizona the past five years! 😂

I’m going to need a trophy room for all of Harleys kills. 😂 #toyapocalypse
