@dirt_bag_rigs recently launched an unruly pack of feral domesticated dogs off into the universe aboard a spaceshuttle fashioned from a reconverted 1995 conversion van named "Luanne". DM me if you have similar needs in the #Wydaho and #Mantana regions because my Comanche #MFU is currently loaded up with enough tools and equipment for me to come to you. Big thanks to @moe_durtschi for bringing Luanne the Van down to #Alpine and entrusting me to work with her on such a finely crafted carriage. Her keen attention to detail kept me from doing anything stupid and the hasty build turned out waaaaaay better than expected. We started off finishing the insulation and staining lumber. Three blurrily long days later we found ourselves finishing up the wiring and plumbing systems. It turns out space ships need not be that expensive or take very long to build. If you'd rather be out adventuring instead of wasting time and $$$ fiddlefucking around with your rig HMU. Ohhh, also I put out a long overdue episode of #wakeup #wyoming today over there at @wake_up_news on the Facebook. Check it out if you're curious why superstorms are ravaging the planet 70 years after the technology to rein them in was developed. I'm out. 🖖😁🤙

Late 90s #Toyota #Tacoma #dirtbagrig (no water damage) FOR SALE. See last image of this week's @dirt_bag_rigs slideshow for a pic of the Yotabed to make all your #fall #vanlife #skibum #dreams #come #true . 🖖💩🤙

Stoke is high here at @dirt_bag_rigs!!! @irvsuperb and I spent a day staining scraps and summitting the (sketchy) Swift Creek Spire while discussing a potential #vanlife project together. Then @nomnomdoughnuts and @birt_again brought down a #Toyota #Tundra with a #sexy #custom #camper in need of a new foundation. Together we were able to triple the accessible underbed storage space while decreasing the overall camper height by about 5 inches: sweet! I've felt a little guilty about not putting out another Wake Up Wyoming livestream lately, but everyone I've interacted with lately seems pretty darn #woke already... So in the interest of being the change and building the future it seems wisest to just get to #work. I've got a bunch of finished lumber on hand already so HMU if you want help with a vehicle conversion or any handyman projects in the #wydaho area. 🖖😀🤙

It has been a busy week here at @dirt_bag_rigs but I am open for the next few days so HMU to schedule your appointment. I have a bunch of prestained lumber on hand and we can complete most builds in half a day or so. I spent a few days in #Driggs styling out a shop for Saucy Sarah of Cowgirl Catering while her son James built a delightful #treehouse called "The Notch" all by himself!!! Yes, *all by himself*. Impressive craftsmanship for an 11yo, IMHO. Then stopped by Filardo's to add a second battery and some DC/USB outlets to his jealousy-inducing Suburban. He and Erin will be rolling down to Baja in style for their long overdue wedding this November. Be there or be square. On Saturday I emceed the inaugural #PitViper Beater Bike Gelandesprung at #GrandTarghee, amazingly without cussing once or witnessing any crashes. Big thanks to all who came out and to Omaha's #KLB who immemoriably rocked the Trap Bar that evening. Finally Maestra and I rallied home to Alpine after two weeks on the road in the #Comanche #DBR #MFU. Today @izzylazarus is guiding the #GrandTeton for @jacksonholemountainguides but yesterday she was staining up a storm as we spent 4 hours styling out her Chevy Astro #van. Check out the pics and schematics if you're looking for ideas to style out your own #rig, or give me a call and we can work on it together here in #Alpine or at our 2nd location now conveniently located in #Drictor. 🖖😎🤙

DBR*MFU*OTR (@dirt_bag_rigs mobile fabrication unit on the road)... Thanks #Missoula (and BC!) it's been #real. Next stop: #Drictor to emcee the #pitviper clunker bike jumping contest Saturday evening at #grandtarghee. 🤣 Holler at me if you're in #tetonvalley and want help with a #proj before Sunday. Starting Sunday I'll be back in #alpine, #starvalley for a few builds already on the schedule. HMU via DM for your own #dirtbagrig #vanlife #custom #creation ! 😗

Hey you! Yes you! If you want to work on a vehicle tomorrow afternoon/evening DM me. #DIRTBAGRIG DESIGNS: GMC SAFARI aka CHEVY ASTRO VAN 1997-2005ish: The Model Michelle: This was a last minute hasty build for some friends who are headed out of town on a climbing trip. We got it done in a a couple of hours and fixed a broken window and some headlight issues on a recently acquired 2003 Astro with *only* 96,000 miles on it. Big thanks to Will and Michelle for making a deeeeeelicious dinner while I got busy with the grinder. I didn't get any decent pics of this project but it is pretty straightforward if you follow the attached blueprint. Big weekend here in #Wydaho! Many thanks and big congratulations to John and Hannah Kennedy on their *superb* marriage extravaganza. Also big thanks to the unspeakable wave surf club and @sickdayadventures for getting me out on the lake for a little wakey wake. Condolences to my dear friend Mere on the tragic loss of Moe the Chug. RIP Moe and thanks for all the memories. Last minute #dirtbagrig appointments here in Alpine are encouraged. Electrical and mechanical issues included. I am around tomorrow but headed to #Missoula and the Bugs/Banff for a week after that. I'll have tools with me so HMU if you're in need of vehicular assistance between here and there. 🖖😉🤙
