Install: Dometic CFX3 55IM Cooler, Alu-Cab Slide w/ Decked Drawer System on Chevy ZR2 AEV Bison
I have installed my Dometic CFX3 55IM Powered Cooler on an Alu-Cab tilting fridge slide on my Decked Drawer System. This was a pretty straight forward process.
Having the Decked System raises the height of everything in the bed, so a tilting slide was a requirement of mine. I used the Decked T-Rails to mount the slide on. This helped and made it a simpler install.
Nothing frustrating came into play here. I have used this setup now, and I am totally happy with it.

Unbox: Dometic CFX3 55IM Powered Cooler
We unboxed our powered cooler from Dometic. We made the decision to mount this in the bed of our truck (install video to follow).
This will keep us from having to manage a regular cooler full of ice and allow us to better transport food and drinks for our adventures.
Dometic ran a 20% off special with free shipping, so we jumped all over it.

Install: Datin Fab Bed Molle Chevy ZR2 Bison w/ Decked System
Thisv ideo shows how easy it is to install bed side molle panels from Datin Fabrication. These were a breeze to install on our 2021 Chevy Colorado Bison AEV which has a Decked Drawer System. The panels were made for this configuration.
We look forward to using these panels to secure different kinds of equipment for our adventures.

Dunedin Causeway - Paddle Board, Kayak, Fun! Dunedin, FL
Five Angels Outdoor travels to the Dunedin Causeway for a day in the sun. Outdoor is outdoor, and today we spend the day on the water. The conditions were awesome! The water was crystal clear, the sun was out, the wildlife was out. We saw dolphins, sting rays, and all kinds of fish.
This was the first time we loaded up the Bison ZR2 to transport all of the water craft. It sure was an adventure. We had an awesome time.

Croom WMA - Trail 7, 2, and 4 - Fun with the Chevy ZR2 AEV Bison
On this day we ventured to the Croom Wildlife Management Area to to some trail riding. This was our first time here, and it did not disappoint.
Croom has many hiking, biking, horse, and off-road vehicle trails. Though not as big as Citrus or boggy as Richloam, it was a great time nonetheless.
We had quite the crew for the day. We even brought along our dogs, Colt and Jerry. I think Colt was pretty nervous, but ultimately he had fun.
I would recommend this for a day adventure. Many of the trails were compatible with most vehicles.

Review: SPOD BANTAM X HD Post Install Thoughts
We installed the SPOD Bantam X HD accessories controller in our Chevy Colorado ZR2 AEV Bison. We wanted to give some feedback, so that other people looking for a lighting controller can make a good decision.
The unit is not cheap, but I feel that is because it is an all in one product. No need for any extras other than a mount, if you choose not to install on your fuse box lid or something like that.
Here are some helpful links:

Citrus WMA 5 - Trail 15 to Dames Cave w/ AEV ZR2 Bison
The last video of our Citrus Wildlife Management series. In this video we are traveling south on trail 15 and then we hike to the Dames Cave.
This section of trail 15 is pretty cool. Would even be more challenging in the wet season.
The caves were pretty cool. They seem to be popular with all the visitors. There is a hiking trail close by where a lot of lookers come from. We explored two caves. There are others in the area.
We had such a fund time. Definitely will be going back in the future.

Citrus WMA 4 - Trail 15 Mud Runs w/ ZR2 Bison
The next video is the series on our trip to Citrus Wildlife Management Area in Florida. This video focuses on several of our runs through the Trail 15 mud pit. We also do a walkaround of the pit as well.
This is a cool section. Most are not a big deal, except for the center track, which will swallow your truck/Jeep. We do have a link of us getting stuck trying to go down the middle, and you can see that here: https://youtu.be/ZMLKSz9WsBE
I hope you are finding this series as cool as we did when we were there. It is a great time, and I hope this helps for your visits!

Citrus WMA 3 - Trail 14 w/ AEV ZR2 Bison
We continue our series of the adventures that we had in the Citrus Wildlife Management Area. This video covers our ride on trail 14, which is a pretty popular trail.
The west section seems like it would be pretty crazy in the wet season. There are tons of ruts from vehicles driving through the mud. It was pretty dry on this day, but fun, nonetheless.
Regarding the more eastern part between trail 15 and trail 13, I have watched other channels which show trail 14, and from what I can gather, it seems like the first obstacle (is it Ants on Candy?) seems to have been filled in some. The second obstacle was definitely scary deep and steep. This one was ripe for vehicle damage, so we opted to bypass.
It was really cool.

Citrus WMA 2 - Trail 17 Entry, Trail 10, Trail 15 N w/ AEV Zr2 Bison
Julia and I traveled out to the Withlachoochie State Forest, Citrus Wildlife Management area.
In this video we enter the Citrus WMA via Trail 17. We then Move over to Trail 10 and then Trail 25 with the ultimate goal of reaching Trail 14.
It was a great day. The trail conditions varied between gravel, sand, very loose sand, and even some ruts, dried mud, or good 'ol mud.
We had an awesome time! More videos to follow.

Citrus WMA 1 - STUCK in the Mud in a AEV ZR2 Bison
First in a series. A quick video to show how easy it is to get stuck. Citrus WMA, Trail 15. Right down the middle, big drop, pushed a lot of water and mud. Stuck! The winch and my recovery gear came in handy. Was able to get unstuck, and we had an awesome time.
In this section, there are many tracks. We took most of them, and we made it with ease. This middle track is infamous for its treachery. We decided on the way out to give it a go. The drop was pretty significant, and the mud/muck was deep.

Southeast Overland & Off-road Expo - Ride the Off-road Course w/ AEV Zr2 Bison
One of the features of the Southeast Overland & Off-road was the ability to take your rig over and through the Dade City Motocross track. This gave attendees a fun obstacle to do with their rig. It was nothing crazy, but it was a fun time.
I did the course several time. This is from my first ;pass. Take in mind that I made a wrong turn after exiting the advanced track, which prevented me from filming the second half of the regular course. I did complete the whole thing in other passes, but I did not film.

Southeast Overland & Offroad Expo - Parking Lot Rig Walkaround
We attended the Southeast Overland & Offroad Expo 2021. We had a great time. One thing we noticed was that there were many sweet rigs in the parking lot from the attendees. I figured I would walkaround and show these rigs.
The expo was a great time, and we look forward to attending more.
