    Brunton Cook Stove

    If this is the Wind River range you have, I can't help you by buying it (I already have one) but I can certainly attest to its phenomenal build quality, robustness, and the company's after market support. Just back from a two week camping trip where it was in service three meals a day and it...

    1st kid and in need of a new Truck, What shall it be??

    Ultimate Family Car = Tacoma 4 door I talked my wife into a then brand new 2005 Tacoma quad cab (short bed) despite the fact that we had no kids and lived in an apartment in Brooklyn - the argument then being that with all my goofy hobbies (motorcycle racing, etc) it would come in handy, but it...

    Kids + Canoe = Brilliant Maybe it is my Canadian origins but I didn't hesitate to take my 16 month old daughter canoe camping for six days in the Adirondacks a few summers ago. We got a properly fitted life preserver and had her sitting up front with Mom the entire time (on top of a cheap...

    And so it begins... 2005 taco build (help!)

    All - this is my second post, but I never properly introduced myself in the first one, so here we go: The first and only truck I have ever owned (and certainly the first vehicle I ever purchased new) is my 2005 Tacoma 4 door / short bed with the off road package. I live in an extreme...

    05+ Tacoma - short bed dimensions?

    OK Guys - Lurking for quite some time and really impressed with the quality of the content here. I'll properly introduce myself later, but I have a 2005 Tacoma double cab with a short bed, and my wife and I take our two young girls camping whenever we can. I've been impressed with the...
