    Proposed Chuckwalla National Monument & Joshua Tree National Park Expansion

    There is movement to expand Joshua Tree and create a new National Monument adjacent to JT. This could hinder off-road travel in the area. There is much discussion on both sides of this proposition. As always an educated member of society can best influence how things may happen one way or...

    Vagabond Outdoors Drifter

    Haven't been following much on this topic as I wasn't in the market for a new camper but this news really sucks. VO started from similar camper evolution/roots. IMHO they had the best product on the market. It would be so cool if BAMF was able to take over the product but they have a lot of...

    2024 Tacoma

    Toyota lost me as a potential customer by removing the access cab doors. I've had Toyota vehicles most of my life. First truck was a 90 xtra cab, then a 99 xtra cab and now an 09 access cab. The doors are a game changer and I would never go back. Aside from that I personally like the 3rd gen...

    The TARDIS - A Four Wheel Camper Build

    Hi Wasurf! The evolution of life. We've been here for a while now. I don't post much here anymore because picture size requirements make it more difficult for me to resize all the images. I do post much more often on Tacoma World...

    The TARDIS - A Four Wheel Camper Build

    No need to spam an old thread such as this. The OP is long gone sadly.

    Setup time for Springbar-style tents vs. Nylon

    I ordered a Kodiak 10X10 VX last night. It was a good sale price. I have some friends who use these and love them.

    Tacoma info requested

    I would go with the green as it is far more uncommon due to the short timeframe it was available. I would however be looking for a TRD Offroad instead of the sport.

    Any of you running 235/85/16 tires?

    Tons of 16 options in E. I wholeheartedly suggest E's if you're off-roading. They hold up. At least the couple sets I've had and my friend have had all were quite capable and dependable.

    ARB Awning Room Input?

    Really enjoyed using the room attachment on a recent trip. Making breakfast and lunch and lounging with a great view and the bugs outside made the experience even better.

    Outside Van Camper Van-CA Bay Area

    Helping a buddy who isn't a member here but asked me to share. I've done several trips joining him and his family with this particular van. It is a very nice unit. Only lacking 4WD. That being said it has gone many places. Please contact him via the links shared. Thanks for looking...

    Expedition Bike? Not really, it's just WTHIJ's TW200.

    I made my own. I modeled it after the Jimbo shield and have several others hanging out. If anyone is interested let me know. It was a learning process but after figuring it out it was pretty easy so I made a few extra.

    ARB Awning and associated room

    Meaning the 2500x2500 or 2500x2000? I'd be interested if it is the latter and not too far for pickup.
