Our first adventure took us on the opposite side of Comb Ridge where we set out to find Monarch Cave. Along the way we stopped, thinking we had spotted a granary just off the road. Turned out to not be a granary, but Zander did find a couple of pieces of broken pottery (left for posterity, of...

With Zander and Olivia in tow, we wanted to slow the pace, and enjoy ourselves. Too often it takes us looking through the eyes of our children to look at what is most important: playing with toys and playing in the dirt. Even more too often we are so focused on the immaterial things in life that...

The desert for me is like a fantastic book that I just can't put down. You want to read more and more, but you are cautious; you don't want to risk completing the book too soon. You need to enjoy every letter, every word, every page before you get to the end, savoring your moments together...

Good call. I was in a significant windstorm in S. Utah last Thursday night, and while the Springbar moves with the wind, it didn't fill with sand, and didn't have a rainfly flapping against the tent body. We rounded out the weekend with a decent amount of rain, none of which made its way into...

I have had the 4runner for about a year now, and I have lifted it (885 front/ 896's rear) and just added sliders with the assistance of Willman. An ARB air compressor went under the hood, to be used with an ARB in the future. I also have an ARB ft. bumper sitting in the garage for a not-so-rainy...

Total hijack (sorry!) But I would love to see how you did your dual batteries on this-we are about to do duals on our V8 runner with the IBS system in the next month or so...any threads you could point me to? Pictures? Oh, and 16k is certainly fair, considering it is up to date on maintenance...

It would be a good deal if it wasn't the carbon fiber...but it is. Buy it.

I've got a little Honda Civic that I fully expect to use this summer taking my kids (while my wife is in LA doing graduate work) to Chaco for the summer solstice, Mesa Verde, and other regions around the grand circle...it is all about the adventure, not what vehicle you are driving.

Great story, fantastic photos, and excellent 'expedition' vehicle. Nice to see a dad getting out with his boy. Even if he doesn't appreciate it now, he certainly will...well done. :clapsmile

I have owned and used both the 'soft sided' and the 'hard sided' (Maggiolina and Columbus) and I wouldn't ever even consider a soft sided tent for anything but a trailer or mounted below cab height of a pickup. Having the equivalent of a large brick on top of your vehicle doesn't work well...

Nice and clean 80, throw some ome suspension on there and you are set!

Fantastic! The 4 Corners crew needs to do this...

Here's your 80: http://www.ksl.com/index.php?sid=0&nid=443&tab=list/view&ad=3802105

I keep coming back here and oogling over your truck with thoughts of selling my 80 to buy it... I hope you sell it.

I have a tool list I compiled from a variety of sources, I can email it to you if you would like. I carry all of the usual suspects, set of 3 radiator hoses, a big section of heater hose and associated clamps, a set of belts, extra fluids, fuses, wire, and of course the tools. Even with your...

Ditto that. I am off of I-15 and I even have 2 kids to bother you for awhile.

Saw this in Honduras last week...

My mother has the zagg keyboard/case and it is covered with the protective film. She has been pleased with it. I may snag one myself.

Springbars are fantastic tents, and are certainly capable of the 4 season weather (they used a Family Camper at Everest Basecamp awhile back). Even better is the fact they actually breathe when it is hot outside...nylon/polyester do not. I grew up camping all around Utah in a Springbar.
