Wow, that looks great. I am really impressed with your work. I am trying to put the finishing touches on mine right now. How do you like the thermarest dreamtime pads? Also, what type of pillows are those? They look great!

I have a Cabelas' Traditional II in a 7.5' 4wt in my quiver of rods. I really like the action and feel of the rod. I don't like the prestige reel that came with it though. IMO, if you are just starting out go with a 5wt or 5/6wt, UNLESS you will be fishing smaller streams and rivers mostly...

Here is a list of Rear Bumpers for 05+ : http://ttora.com/forum/showthread.php?t=145030 Contrary to what TejasYota said, there hasn't been any indication that the 05 and newer frames need to be reinforced like the older models when adding a rear bumper. I have had a very heavy rear bumper...

Check out this thread over on TTORA: http://ttora.com/forum/showthread.php?t=149155 It has a lot of the common issues and problems that people have had with the 05 and newer Tacos. If you have any questions about the thread let me know, I know the guy that put it together ;)

They don't usually carry the larger pot sets in their stores, most of it is only available online. For cookware I started out with a MSR Black Lite Classic alum non-stick 2 pot set link . The coating didn't last very long and I later upgraded to this one: http://www.rei.com/product/765750...

Are you sure Bent-Up is still in business?

Yeah, that would be more of a issue for me if I was going to carry it on my pack. But for River and Truck Camping I would rather have a comfortable bed over a compact pad. I already have 2 therma-rests, a ridge-rest and several closed cell foam pads that I use for backpacking.

Great trip report so far. Looking forward to the rest!

Agreed. I stopped by the only place in town that carries them. And they only had 3 in-stock. All were soft foam and the 3" thick one felt good. Just wondering if I can get away with a 1.5" or 2" with the firm foam and still be comfortable. What would probably be ideal would be a 1" thick foam...

So here is a question regarding the Paco pads. Should I go with the firm foam or the soft. I want it to be comfortable but I don't want the foam to compress all the way down and be un-supportive without the mattress filled with air. Is it just a matter of what type of regular mattress you like...

I use Craigslist alot and I am always amazed to see what people are willing to buy/trade for. Try posting them on there for 5 to 10 bucks or trade for a 6 pack of your favorite beer. The local offroad shop gave me money towards some new tires for my old shocks (among other parts I couldn't...

Its cool to see this thread helping so many people solve their sleeping pad needs. I am actually still looking to get a sleeping pad. I sold the other truck I was previously looking to setup. I am just now finishing up my storage/sleeping platform in my new truck (05 taco) and I am still...
