Now I see that your sig has a Toyota in it. The Tundra beds are yet another few inches shorter that Dodge/Chevy. When I see a FP on CL, I usually post it up here. I am currently looking for a friend who needs one for her SB 90's-vintage Ford. There was a flurry of FPs on the used market this...

You might want to be more specific. Ford short beds (depending on year) are longer than Dodge/Chevy. My SB Dodge has an 81" bed. FOrds are 84, I think. bb

I'm thinking of one of these for the Flip Pac: It's not exactly what I think would be ideal. What I would like is a vestibule. BNut I don't see anything on the market between that and this: bb

I ran into a truck accessory dealer who once carried Flip Pacs, presumably when they were built by SixPac. He looked at mine and went straight for the front bulkhead area saying that they crack between the front window and the corners. I read a post where Martyn said he would not disclose how...

I love the Gen 1 trucks. I had an alaskan on mine for several months. Worked out great. I think the looks of the Alaskan on a Gen 1. They seem to fit together well. bb

I agree that the 98 QC's are the hot ticket and that the desert SW is the place to find them. Relatively hard to find, however. The 12v is more reliable than the 24v. If I were driving to Patagonia, I would wait for a 12v. Otherwise, I would not shy away from a 24v. I've owned both and am...

I refer more to the riding experience. That's a sweet looking Strom. More cherry than vanilla. Excited about the power of that Triumph triple. bb

I saw that bike on StromTroopers. Looks cool but I thought it was loaded up with too many goo-gaws...and I may be nit-picking, but the tires Shinko tires scare me. Seems like a lot of guys are running them, but I don't skimp on m/c tires. Back to the goo-gaws...I usually spend money on...

Here are the bikes that made the final cut: 2002 Capo, 30k, BuyItNow on Ebay for $4250, long list of upgrades and accessories but for sale in Flagstaff (kinda far away): Cannot copy pic but here's a link to the auction. ___________________________________________ 2003 Tiger, 10k, $4750 (on...

Two words for you: Tex As. Really. Fly to San Antonio with a stack of cash and hang out for a few days. One will pop up. I found my 24V in Denver. I was lucky that the seller was busy and could not return calls. I hounded him for days. Got a good truck and a good deal. But as you are...

Here's the VStrom I like. It is nearby but a little overpriced. May be able to negotiate. But now I am thinking about the Buell Ulysses. Everything I have read says they are bulletproof, easy to maintain, and powerful. Plus it has sex appeal. Here's a really nice one for the same price as...

The GS PD seller calls me today to say the trans is going south and needs a rebuild. I called am old airhead mechanic friend of mine, Ted Porter, and am looking into costs. Not sure I want to start life out on my new AdvBike with a $1000 shop repair... Suzuki is looking better and better all...

I have not gotten any feedback on two-wheel alternatives to my shortlist. But I have forged ahead without your collective ExPo wisdom and put a deposit in this beauty: This is not a done deal quite yet, but I am pretty excited about this direction. Not this particular bike but going back to...

I have built kites for boats big and small. We us seamstick just to get the curve right and then we stitch the seam. (On heavier kites we user a joiner that joins the fabris andf sews it at the same time. Very slick.) The seamstick comes apart very easily. It is designed to do just that so you...

I don't know about the construction. But it does appear that you are removing a section of the FP critical to its overall structure. I know you will be replacing that front bulkhead section with a 4Runner cab, but be careful handling the unit once you make those cuts. I have a FP manufactured in...

I may have a spare hydraulic clutch--lever to the clutch arm. Has the proper mineral oil in it. Have left over mineral oil, too... bb

OK...here are a few of the bikes I am considering in trade for my RT: BMW GS that was converted into a PD. Many recent upgrades. Luggage. Seller is a very nice guy and has documented his experience with the bike. Trade would likely involve a nice little adventure ride to/from the 4-Corners area...

Zach: Call when you can. I think we can get a lot accomplished with a phone call. Also, Wooster is my father's home town. Did not sound like a great place to be during the Great Depression. I recommend you get out and travel the Americas... bb

Can you please post the play book for this type of "team" cooperation. Foreign concept on my "team." No matter what I do, my "team" finds something wrong with the plays I am running,... bb

I am trading my very versatile KTM LC4 640E... ...even up for a Suzuki DRZ 400 SM... on Friday (but keeping my motard wheels and tires to sell separately). The KTM has been a wonderful, trouble-free ride and is capable of generating lotsa smiles. I have not ridden it off road in two...
