    Trip Video: The Maze District of Canyonlands National Park

    Day Three. Before leaving The Dollhouse, we hiked to the granaries that are in the area. Then we headed for the Flint Trail, Ray's Tavern for a burger, and then home.

    Trip Video: The Maze District of Canyonlands National Park

    Day two continued. The kids did really well, but I did carry my son quite a ways when we got back on top.

    Trip Video: The Maze District of Canyonlands National Park

    These pictures are from day two hiking in the Maze. The pictographs are part of the "Harvest Scene." Fun, but no where near as clear and elaborate as what we see in Nine Mile Canyon.

    Trip Video: The Maze District of Canyonlands National Park

    We met up with Steve and his group at the gas station in Hanksville. We traveled with them to The Dollhouse, and then the next morning our group split. We took an eight mile loop down into the Maze with Gordon and Jessica. We stayed another night at the Dollhouse. It was a extremely windy...

    Three Days in Red Rock Country

    My family spent Easter in Moab and the surrounding area. I have been going to EJS for 16 consecutive years. Even though I no longer own a Jeep it is not stopping me from enjoying red rock country. We spent our first afternoon enjoying parts of Islands in the Sky District of Canyonlands...

    Hilux in the US

    I wondered about the difference in the beds. Yours doesn't have the reinforced bed rail headache rack and hooks, but other than that, I was convinced.

    KE100 - Slow ride Chicago to Pacific Northwest

    I agree with you, the fact that this bike is not your typical long distance trip bike, the possibility of running out of gas, some kind of failure, and planning the appropriate route is the adventure as much as the destination. I just got myself a '79 Honda XL 185 last week from my brother in...

    10 hours of blood, sweat, and not going to lie some tears. Damn you rusted U- bolts!

    When I first starting replacing leaf springs years ago, the spring shop told me something like the u bolts over time are stretching under the stress, and should never be trusted and reused. Always cut off and replace.

    April San Juan Foothills

    Hope the bottom was not soft on that creek crossing. I would hate it if you tore anything up.

    A member of this forum Sixstringsteve bought a 1st gen. DC Tacoma with over 200k on it and it has been very reliable. He does at least on off road trip a month and last fall took it on the Rubicon without issue. Toyotas properly maintained go forever.

    Just for giggles I was looking at a the classifieds of a local website, KSL.com, and the older Sequoias are a pretty good deal. Look at this one for under 10 K. http://www.ksl.com/auto/listing/1349893?ad_cid=6 Here is one for under 9K http://www.ksl.com/auto/listing/1336307?ad_cid=11

    Good luck, hope you find what you are looking for. It took me a year and a half of research, and I still struggled with my choice. However, I am happy with how it meets the needs of my family of 5.

    I don't have a trip computer, and use the gps odometer so that my mileage is accurate. I have seen high 16s running 4 hi on the highway. Now we were only going 55 to 60.

    He stated that he would like to have a passenger or two, that he was tall and would like to sleep inside, and be able to store camping and climbing gear. Many of us recommended larger vehicles to meet his needs. I would never recommend a DC long bed Tacoma over a 1st gen. DC Tundra for many...
