Wildfires change the plans, the mods keep multiplying, and apparently owning an awning officially makes you an overlander.
In Episode 51, Garrick takes his new Ford F-150 on its first real off-pavement adventure after wildfire activity forces a last-minute pivot from the Cascades to the Olympic Peninsula. The trails may not have been especially technical, but the full-size truck gets its first taste of four-wheel drive, narrow forest roads, and a little trail pinstriping.
Meanwhile, Melody has been deep in 5th-gen 4Runner mod and maintenance mode. She catches us up on her new awning setup, electrical organization, a surprisingly useful flexible work light, throttle body and MAF sensor cleaning, and the DIY sway-bar-bushing job that quickly turned into a reminder that sometimes the smartest repair is knowing when to hand the tools to someone else.
Garrick also shares a couple of early F-150 upgrades, including a used DiamondBack Switchback truck bed cover and another attempt to solve the saga of his troublesome Midland MXT275 GMRS radio.
Plus, Random Recommendations returns with a strange little Japanese robot companion and a TV series that definitely lives up to its attention-grabbing name.
Come for the overlanding. Stay for the sheared bolts, questionable parking-lot repairs, and floppy lightsaber.
