Motoz now on two of my bikes
I just put Motoz Tractionators on my KLR and they seem to do very well. The front does follow cracks a bit but no more than the TKC does. On my KLX 400, I put on the Motoz Desert HT but have not done enough riding to have a decision yet. One thing for sure, they...
Snap-in screens
This is on a bit older truck but it would seem to work on most any cap. First off, I highly recommend getting a cap with both side and rear openings. You will not be sorry you spent the extra money. I had screening made that I can snap in as needed on both sides and the rear...
There is quite a few Old Iron fans out there
I don't see a problem with running older vehicles and your blazer fits right in. There are events solely for old vehicles in both Arizona and Utah and of course old vehicles are welcome at any run. If you are okay with maintaining a vehicle, then...
Just going to step over all the current back and forth.
Avoiding the current talk, I do have to say that I would enjoy seeing a roundtable on DIY overland vehicle builds. I think there are lots of folks that prefer building up their own vehicle. It could be to save some money or simply...
So far most of my trips have been from my driveway, but with the new camptrailer, I am looking forward to spending time in the comfort of the tent trailer while riding or 4 wheeling in new areas. With Mo and I both using CPAP's, we can no longer tent but we are getting by. Regardless, I don't...
Paddy,
I am surprised. I have not met too many people that do not like the Tacoma. As PlainJane stated, why don't you like the Tacoma? What did you replace it with?
Clutch
From Tucson to Idaho, eh? That is big change. I went the other way and moved from eastern OR to AZ. That was...
Good Points
You make a good point on the issue of the versatility of a truck. I can have all the storage boxes out of Reuben in less than 30 minutes, but I do tend to leave them in. We just recently rode down to Mexico on the Victory and had a good time but I don't think I am going back till...
I too, lean towards the truck choice
I recently went through the same dilemma between my well modified and very functional Tacoma or getting a bigger truck (I have never been swayed much by the Jeep line). I ended up going with a new Tundra and am very happy with it. I am now retired and...
Thanks for the resonses. I have only used the tent trailer (now named PopTart) one time with a 10 day trip to Moab and we really had a great time and I do believe that Mo enjoyed it more with the base camp and less travel. My reasons are; that I can forcus more on seeing an area more...
Well I traded in my Tacoma and sold my Adventure Trailer Horizon and bought a new Tundra and a Jayco Baja with a deck to carry a couple of dual sport bikes. So I went from this:
To this:
Don't get me wrong, I know that the Jayco is not going to go to the places that the AT went and the...
Very Good Thread
Enjoyed your write up. Death Valley does have so much to see and appreciate. I like the fact that you left out photos of the damage done to the lake bed yet did note that it was damaged. People need to be reminded that such things do occur without too much focus on the...
