Davidshourd's build (Titan Swap @ page 9) - Went Camping last Weekend

[davidshourd]

this thread has turned into more of an ongoing build thread plus random outing pictures. so I changed up the title to reflect that.
7/26/12 (page 9) got my titan swap wraped up!

>>>>original post<<<<
couple shots from our camping trip last weekend here in Oregon. Tons of rain...and snow on our day (turned into night) trip when we headed up the mountains. Let the girlfriend drive until I had no more fingernails to bite... then I ended up getting pretty damn high centered on wet heavy snow while trying to plow through the road. my buddy with the other nissan tried winching me out and he was just dragging himself into me. even tried a "tug" rope and he was just bouncing around, not even budging my truck. in the end I put my winch in the rear reciever and found a tree about 100ft away. pulled right out. good times. and to think of you guys out in Moab soaking up the sun! Have fun...

How high up did you hit that snow?
I've been trying to get to some lakes east of Sweet Home & there is old snow up around 4000 feet.
Looks like a fun trip!

Also, what's the make and model of the camper?

snow was right around 4000k feet with about 6" of fresh snow from the previous week. it was snowing up there for about an hour and got another 1/2" or so. damn north faces! This spot is east of sweet home on "Quartzville Dr" that turns into fores road 11, about 30miles up (from 20 where you turned off onto quartzville dr) on your right there is a little turn off that gets right down on the river. there were huge red woods all over the area. we ended up continue forth on forest road 11 and came out on 22 about 18 miles east of detriot lake. they plowed road 11 earlier that week so it was easy going. shoot me an email @ davidshourd@hotmail.com, I can get you more details on the area, we did tons of exploreing and found some sweet spots. I think we are going back for 4 days this weekend, or to hells creek res. south/east of Oakridge.

As for the girlfriend driving, I may have had one or two beers to flex my judgement and let her drive. ha.

The camper is a Four Wheel Camper, about 800# fully loaded. check out Expedition Portal: Vehicle-Dependent Overland Expedition Community, all sorts of sweet set ups. Four Wheel Campers

Ha ha, the glove has been thrown down now Jordo.



^-----That right there makes my paint cringe.

Thanks for sharing the pics, but I don't need to see snow again for another few months if you know what I mean.

[davidshourd]

I know what you mean about the snow! I am ready for some summer, hell even spring would be nice. snow level was right around 3500 last week!

"^-----That right there makes my paint cringe." I gave up on my paint. brush is just too thick on the fun trails. my tactic: dont wash the truck and you can hardly see the scratches! ha. and line-x'ed the rockers and fenders, that helps too.
