As Frenchie said I made it home last night. Twenty days and 5495 miles later I can really appreciate my own bed and sleeping past 5 am. No matter what Trail Seeker and FrenchieXJ say, I was not the leader of this group. While I may have suggested the trip and picked the dates both of them...

FrenchieXJ and I made it to the Canadian border yesterday morning. I’m not anywhere with good cell service so it will probably be next week before the write up is done. I’m still in N Idaho visiting family. Here’s the end to keep you subscribed. That’s the Canadian Border Crossing in the...

Made it just south of SLC. A total of 1296 miles over the last 2 days. Switched to the CD player and listening to the High Kings. Rocky Road to Dublin gets me in the mood for off-roading.

Made it to the 1st overnight, just east of Albuquerque. Switched to E Street Radio for a while since we’ll be on the Back(streets) roads but hopefully won’t run into any Fire unless we’re sitting round it talking about those Glory Days. I got a million of ‘em folks. I’ll be here all week and...

Not sure what that last post was about but looks like SPAM (and it’s since been deleted so was SPAM). While this cloud isn’t as bad as the one from Independence Day there’s still a storm coming to Roswell, NM (see how I kept the alien theme going?). Switched to the Beatles channel (no Bob...

Bombing across W TX at 80mph listening to Kenny Chesney’s No Shoes Radio until they start playing too much Bob Marley then I switch to Margaritaville Radio until they start playing too much Bob Marley....

After 8 months of planning it’s finally time. One quick potty break and then I’m on the road!

The "In Progress" part of the adventure doesn't start until tomorrow morning but wanted to get the thread started and moved over from the planning thread. While it doesn't kick off until tomorrow at 0600 the truck is loaded, fueled, and ready to roll.

The reason for my question. I’ve got plenty of diesel and water cans but only 1 gas can.

Do you have a shot of the side of the cans and what color is the cap strap (i.e. are these diesel or gas cans)?

I'm trying to determine whether I want a trailer or a Habitat Topper but either way I'm leaning more to buying used. If I can find something clean that has most of my wish list then why would I waste a year or more of my life waiting for a new one? I haven't bought a new vehicle since 2004 so...

CHUBB and Gulfway are 2 other good insurers in the States. I'm not sure on the Fuso but they insure my 17k pound LMTV for $600 a year with towing (which I used for an $850 tow bill that was covered at 100%). I do have limitations as it's insured as a Collector vehicle but it's worth a phone...

If it were me I'd blow the whole $9k forcing them to cough it up. But then I'm a vindictive SOB that doesn't like being lied to.

We just have some water shoes with carabiners on the back and clip them to the bottom of the tent. Easy to reach and easy to slip on.

I’ll be rolling through there in about a week headed to do The Idaho Backcountry Discovery Route. If I breakdown out your way I’ll hit you up ?

I think he's making fun of the fact that our state is better endowed (land wise) than most states.

Unfortunately their spare battery is 25% of the cost of the bike.

I saw it a couple of times. The wife was interested in one for me but that might change after she sees the price.

Just my opinion but it looks to wide on the Tacoma.

Looked at them at Expo West and they’re cheap bumper trailers mounted on the bed of the truck and fairly poor cosmetics to make them look custom made. They also hacked up the factory hydraulics so stay FAR away from one of these. They’d rattle apart going over a speed bump and having talked to...
