Had to take the Turtleback in for some repairs and upgrades in Phoenix last week. Repairs were my fault on my last trip, upgrades are because I just can't help myself. Added a fridge slide, 23 Zero shower enclosure and their new water filtration system. PW tows it like it's not even there.

Stopped in to see some old friends while the trailer was being worked on.

I for one never take this beautiful area we live in for granted. Great shots!

Surprised you still have the lower valance on the front bumper? I know you are waiting on the AEV, and with the lift and 37's assuming it's never been an issue as far as getting scraped.

Hasn't been an issue yet and anything the helps with mpg is welcome while I wait for the AEV bumper.

bfg says they are 38.5 so you are probably closer. I have never had bfg that was as tall as they claimed. :)

you don't need trees to get out but it sure helps. if you wheel alone you better be ready. do you have Aland anchor?

Thanks Dad...LOL

The definitive solution would be the Pull pal. https://www.pullpal.com/

They are bulky, heavy and to be honest, rarely needed, but they absolutely work like magic.

The Deadman anchor would be the next option. https://www.deadmanoffroad.com/

They also work amazingly well but require quite a bit of digging if the earth is the only anchor option. I do own one of these as they are easy to stash in a vehicle with almost no weight or space penalty and the perform multiple jobs as tree savers, boulder anchors, drop cloth, rescue stretcher and a signaling device.

No cube lights in rear bumper, or are the tubs just sitting there? I've always been intrigued about doing flares, but i would cost me a billion dollars to convert over. I'd need:

  1. Flare kit
  2. New wheels
  3. Tires (40's, maybe 42's)
  4. Replace all 64 of my cut down lugs
  5. Front bumper corner pieces
  6. A regear
That's easily $10kish without even getting into hard math. Not worth it for me. Maybe waaay down the line, or on my next wagon years from now.
Hey this is a fun quote lmao
