Day 4. I removed the roof and bought some 1x2s and 3/4" styro insulation. Page 8 of this thread goes into how to do the ceiling... http://www.popupportal.com/threads/1977-coleman-concord-pop-up-build.51875/ I'll build 1x2 cross braces which will keep the roof from sagging AND provide some...

Day 3. Grabbed 2x sheets of home floor sheathing. I shouldve gone with 3/4" marine-grade ply, but I didn't.... I traced the shapes from the old wood onto the new sheets and cut them out. I coated the bottom with black basement/foundation sealant, and broke out the cheapo router to make some...

The smell has improved and I decided to keep it. New canvas is available for about $1,000. My goal is to stay below $1700. Step 1. Give the inner chassis a quick wire brush, some Krylon primer, and semi-gloss spray paint. After that, I cleaned and lubed the whiffle-tree, pulleys and...

My dad bought this thing long ago. I figured I'd revive it and use it as a fly fishing setup. I brought out new wheels and tires, installed them, and towed it home. Then I opened it up for the first time since 2004. Mental note: open camper FIRST, then spend money on rolling stock. It was a...

Its my dad's truck...not sure the company...as far as I know, the Ins Co is repairing the truck. I thought that would be a total if it were rolled over. I am not sure, there must be more to it than I already know....oh well, I'll be in the Taco market soon, I just gotta quit changing the oil...

not sure, in Montana, there are a lot of "Farmer's Insurance Co's". They have had the same co for a long time, so I'm not sure the exact details...thansk for the inputs....JL

My dad has an '05 Tacoma 4 door 4x4. Paid $28,000 for it new . My mom just rolled it. She's OK. Busted in the glass and kinda crushed the top and doors. The insurance company said they would only give him book value of $18,000. They wouldnt total it I guess. Truck WAS in pretty good shape...

I too have a bottle like this. I fly for a living, and its funny, cuz I have mine secured to the aircraft fuselage with a carribeaner (sp). When we climb to altitude, and I grab it, it usually gushes water all over the place from the pressurization. Wierd. I do like it a lot.

My Uncle Sam gave me a US issue cot, Thermarest, and sleeping system with Gore Tex liner. I use this setup all over the world and it has never let me down. For military use, or my own personal camping/hunting uses. I used to average about 190 days a year on a cot, and could not sleep on my bed...

me 2, I hauled deer meat from MT to FL in November. It's cold in MT, not FL. Put ice on in Great Falls, MT; then in Omaha NB. Worked like a champ. 32 hours of windshield time. Bad weather....

In my VAST experience (yeah right), people have told me that if you have a smaller bike like a 250 and below, you really dont need it, unless you are bounding doubles regularly. On larger bikes, like my XR600R, they actually do help, as the front end (and the rest of the bike) is very heavy. I...

now ya done it...I grew up in MT, and am currently stationed in NW FL. REAL scenic. Right. Anywho, I haven't been home to MT in 2 years. Life and marriage keeps getting in the way. Well, not this summer. I am going home, and these pics have inspired me to do something I havent done since I...

That is so awesome! Exactly what I need. Best of both worlds. Got a link for the adapter? How much added tongue weight is it? The weight of the bike? I have an FJCruzr. Will overload springs affect its handling as far as on/off roading? coloradocarlisle, I udes to have one of them. I...

yeah, maybe on old 50's style bed

see if this works. I may need to have somebody tell me how to make it larger. http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b210/slepe67/adventuretrailer.jpg The sides and floor are polished aluminum (maybe black ???) diamond plate, as are the two tool boxes on the sides. On the front, are provisions...

I'm working on a drawing right now. I'll post it later for the masses to tear apart to make better. I plan to use it to tow the bike on most "adventures", but still want the option to use it as a trailer. Right now, it looks like diamond plate tool boxes and square tubing are the way to go.

I looked at them, but I was wanting the trailer AND the bike. Not sure if it is going to be possible. I'll keep trying, thanks JL

I own a Toyota FJ, and dont do a lot of true hardcore off-roading. When I do, its not really too bad. That is what my baja prepped Honda XR600R is for. I am planning a trip to go home to Montana this summer, and show the state off to my city slicker wife, who grew up on Lawn Guyland (Long...

go check out Thumper Talk dot com. Look around in there. I ride a 2000 XR600R, and it does fine, on and off the highway. You may want to check the title. If it says OFF ROAD or RACING on it, you're SOL. My bike isnt exactly registered as an XR600R, and we'll leave it at that. It IS street...
