A different type of ADV

No. 44

After 17 years of daily-commuting year-round on motorcycles, I finally decided to buy myself a truck. I bought a 2005 Ford F-350 with a V10, 6.8L Triton engine.

I still have my bike(s) and I promise this won’t turn into a blog page about my truck.

Side-note, my goals is to sell my 1994 XR650L and buy a small displacement dirtbike — preferably a 300cc 2-stroke.

This was my first adventure in the new truck — it was to cut down a Christmas Tree in Mount Hood National Forest.
An 8ft bed means chop down a 10ft tree.
This was my final adventure of the year (12/31/2025). I decided to take the truck, instead of my bike — and I’m ok with that decision.
A few days after buying my truck, I found this color-matched camper shell. Also, I think I might replace those large running boards with something more streamline.

  1. So jealous of that long bed and that scenery. That said, not jealous of that rain y’all get over there! I’ll take Kansas sunny 20-degree winter days with -10 wind chill any day. But I’ll be damned if all that moisture doesn’t make for some epic pics of this new-to-you beast of an F-350. Looking forward to future updates and pics! 🌲
