    Any running the new MotoZ Tractionator Adventure tires?

    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...

    Ventilation for sleeping - truck bed with cap

    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...

    1971 K5 Blazer

    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...

    Nice, though the camper definately does not fit in the truck era wise. What is in the camper, may I ask? Mikey

    London to Mongolia in a 1970 Morris Minor 1000 - Mongol Rally 2016

    Great seeing a Morris in use. I also see that they have not changed much since my 59 and 61. I do like the idea of having an alternator though. Mikey

    What about a "DIY' Overland Vehiclel building round-table/workshop ?

    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...

    From a well built Tacoma to a stock Tundra

    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...

    From a well built Tacoma to a stock Tundra

    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...

    From a well built Tacoma to a stock Tundra

    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...

    What to do?

    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...

    From a well built Tacoma to a stock Tundra

    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...

    From a well built Tacoma to a stock Tundra

    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...

    Death Valley December 2016 Off-road Trip Report **Very pic heavy**

    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...

    SALINE VALLEY HOT SPRINGS, December, 2016

    You have a very enjoyable writing style. I enjoyed your blog and felt like I needed to pack my truck and head out there right away. Mo and I looked very seriously at taking the volunteer camp host job for NP at Saline Valley. This being my first winter in retirement, I opted to keep my time...

    Lets see some full size pictures...

    Some very nice trucks It's good to see full size trucks being used. So many of the pictures are taken in the driveway. I have no doubt that they get used but driveway shots really give the wrong idea to folks cruising the thread. Mikey

    CASNER MOUNTAIN TRAIL #8

    I am an idiot I am one of those "no shows" that you spoke of and am so very sorry. I miss read the date, thinking that it was on October 16th. In fact I just got all my camp gear ready as I was going to camp on the way out and possibly on the way back too. The last time I did trail 8, the...

    TRIP OF LIFETIME, DOUSED BY ATTITUDE

    That does sound like quite the camp. I have never had a campfire shoot at me before and the experience doesn't sound like a lot of fun. We have all had some in-hospitable camps but yours takes the award. Yours is a very good outlook. Thank you Mikey
