Team Saluki is posting daily updates on their current bid to win the UAE Desert Challenge which is happening right now. The news so far is pretty exciting stuff. They started out on Day 1 placed at 28th out of 42 vehicles. By the start the 2nd day they had worked their way up to 14th place. The...

Cooper STT 32x11.5x15 on a Tacoma Xcab with high GVW. You can read my initial review HERE. So far I have 11,000 miles on them. They are wearing evenly. I have rotated them once so far. The sidewalls and treads have held up really well considering the abuse I have subjected them to. No major...

I have had an idea for quite some time now, to come up with a modification to my on-board fridge that would allow me to sip on cold water from a drinking tube while driving. Since my fridge is inside the cab of the truck, I would store a full hydration bladder inside the fridge, and install a...

Wow, this is the first time my trusty Tacoma would not start due to a mechanical failure that was solely a Toyota issue. (Previous three occassions were a cracked battery connector, dead battery (my fault), and a malfunctioned aftermarket ignition-kill security device, none of which left me...

My wife and I did a fun little trip to Blue Ridge reservoir in AZ this past weekend. We were expecting to get some rain and we definitely did. We took the canoe and despite the rain, managed to get in some quality paddling time. A few pics here

Doing a little training for the upcoming Mt. Elbert summit (Colorado) and hiked to the summit of Humphreys Peak this weekend. It tops out at 12,633 ft. which is not even close to Elberts 14,433 ft. But it is the highest spot in AZ so it will have to do for now :D The trailhead starts at 9,320...

Hey there, this isn't really an "adventure" per se, but I wanted it in the members section. I will be in Tucson today through Friday afternoon on business, and then I will be headed up to Phx. for Friday night. If anyone wants to get together in Tucson for lunch, or dinner, or whatever, let me...

Allen, you are very close to being accurate with your predictions! Datrupr in his Trooper and Sharon and I in the Bajataco machine were the only vehicles approaching from the AZ side around 4:00 in the afternoon. We knew we might get some weather, but it was beautiful when we made our approach...

A cool little article that I found linked on a baja forum... Bajainsider article

I am seriously considering getting a pair because these seats actually pivot forward and back, yet still retain the quality of a touring/off-road suspension seat. The one I sat in unfortunately did not have the...
