All I can say, Scott, is that Diana and I are looking forward to our trip to mainland Mexico (first time as far south as Zihuatenejo) but are TERRIBLY disappointed that we will not return to Idaho until 3/18. We had looked forward to opening a can of Spam® for you two. :chowtime: By the time...

Both of us thoroughly enjoyed your account, Martyn. Many thanks for taking the time to post and take all of us along on your trip. Allen and Diana R

Thanks KC, I'll watch for updates. Allen R

Any reports about the trip???? Allen R:ylsmoke:

What a kick! I'm getting caught up Post Dakar. :) BT, maybe that sign in Thailand had to do with peppers. :) :) I've always loved the signs describing the impending disaster that awaits the unsuspectiing motorist/pedestrian, especially the car tipping off the dock or end of the road. Below...

Many thanks for you account and pix. That mud is probably a lot worse in real life, but it looks really bad on my screen. Allen R

Well done Nick! Looking forward to updates. Allen R

Man, here it is a rest day at the Dakar Rally (no oh-dark-thirty rises for me) and I thought I'd do a bit of 'browsing' at ExPo. I've read all the posts, not to mention taking the original link over to ER, and find the project and the comments fascinating. Diana and I fell in love with the...

DANG! I've been so Dakar-Rallied that I missed this thread. Unlucky for me. :( Allen R

That's one solution. I have over 1000 maps, so the chest works best for me. Anyway, my wall is covered with fly-rods. :) Allen R

I'm afraid that my system is not very sophisticated, but it seems to work for me. I store all my folded maps in a plastic chest of drawers (pic below). My large-format maps (e.g. Raven state maps, etc.) are laminated and mounted and one can be seen just to the right of the chest of drawers in...

Scott, The XT handles the Horizon (with the Chaser suspension) well. I am careful when loading the cargo and keep the tongue weight to specs. I don't use any stabilizing attachment and find that there is practically no 'wiggle' at speed on the Fwy. (While towing with the XT I try to stay...

Welcome to ExPo, Scott. We, too, have an '01 Xterra. Purchased a couple of years ago in AZ. We use it only for trips up here, i.e. Idaho area, and it serves us well. I plan to make a couple of changes, but not much. Good to have someone who can tell us about the backroads of your part of...

And a Happy One to you as well, Martyn. A "used trailer"....uhhhh, I don't know. It looks like he's holding a bowling ball on the beach. :confused: Welcome back to the ExPo Forum and thanks for the report...and photos. Allen R

I think you can rely on that information. Sal Fish and crew (SCORE-INTERNATIONAL) have changed dates before, but that is the rare exception. The '500' has been the first weekend in June for several years. Allen R

We've had Diana's XC70 on some interesting dirt roads, including this one below outside Sedona, AZ. It was amusing to see the expressions on the faces of the Pink Jeep Tours guides, not to mention their customers, as they drove by. She won't let me take it to Pta Bufeo, though. :( Allen R...

This will be a tough call. I'd hate to see this canyon destroyed by those who think that just because they have 4WD they may use it in any way and on any track they see fit. On the other hand, this particular group of OHV owners became pro-active and were willing to make a financial commitment...

It's also a good idea to inspect the routing of your hoses to the windscreen washer nozzles. Recently, I had the driver's side hose to clog even with non-freezing fluid owing to the fact that the hose was exposed to the wind for about two inches before the nozzle. At the time, the outside temp...

Exciting project, Scott. It's great to see some more Class 3s. I was beginning to wonder (couple of years ago) if this Class would just disappear. Go get 'em! Allen R PS Wasn't Donohoe Racing's Project FJ at SEMA?

Welcome to ExPo, Ben. I was parked next to a fellow over here on Silver Ck a month or so ago and was able to get a 'tour' of one of your campers. I forget which model, but the truck was a Ford Ranger. You make a nice product. I was impressed with the workmanship and attention to detail...
