I used to drive one. Tough little truck! Amazing what it could haul.

Bill, considering all of the cars you are competing with, and how many of these events you have done, your 11th position is very impressive. Nice job! Good luck on the ice today. My guess is you won't have a connection at Liard but if you do, please post a pic of the steamy springs. Have fun...

Thanks :) I suppose this could actually go in the Toyota Tacoma section, but if we leave it here you may get more ideas on the components and hardware that can be incorporated into the design. I have a sketch of the frame-work for my 98 Tacoma sleeping/cargo deck if you'd like me to send it to...

Bill, you made it! Congrats! Super fine images you are posting... what a rush. What an adventure! Good luck tomorrow and try to get some more of those good shots ;) Yea, the Expeditions West Tacoma & AT Chaser trailer just barely made it under that limit :p

Congrats to your Dad and Cathy. That is a great pic of them, and what a place to have the ceremony. I'm surprised you didn't stow-away in his suitcase ;) For those visiting the blog, be sure to check out the rest of explorenorth.com. Tons of info.

:jumping: Those photos from the ice course are awesome. Nice shots of the Dempster too. Wow, nice and sunny and warm. Perfect. So today you guys are going to Tuk! I'm with you :rally_guys: Best of luck and enjoy the drive!

This is GREAT! Perfect for a little intermission (from work) while I munch on some dinner. (Thinking of Mama Z's Jade Boulder cafe... mmmm. We ate there last year on our way south from the Arctic.) :lurk: Thanks for in-progress updates. Hope you got 'em good on that slalom course...

Thank you for the info Mark. I plan to get a dual-bander one of these days (hopefully sooner rather than later).

(Raises hand) If I want to attend an ExPo net meeting and I am using a 2M VHF radio, where can I find info that will tell me if there are any repeaters in my area that can connect to the Western Reflector node used for the net? I imagine there are lists of repeaters that might say what can...

I'm in! I can bring one carboy. I recall talking to you about this a while back... was it over beers? :sombrero:

:xxrotflma Too funny Andrew. Thank you (and thanks everyone) for the congrats. It's great to have a celebration after the first year :friday: Scott, thanks for the mention and allowing me to mooch one of your fine guns. I really had a great time. :PROFSheriffHL:

If you stick to just carrying food, the 45 will work well for your family on shorter trips up to about a week, perhaps longer if you just pack things that will be added to dry/non-perishable stuffs to make the meals complete (i.e. meats, cheeses, etc). If you like to keep an assortment of...

Thanks for the call this morning Mark. Yes, Scott sent a SPOT message this morning, and a click on the coords link took me to Google maps where they happen to have hi-res coverage of his location, so I could see right on the ground where he probably stayed last night. He'll be hiking some more...

Excellent report and photos. I really enjoyed reading it. Are you sure it was 2005 when you met the ExPo convoy? I could have sworn it might have been you I met in 2006. Your thoughts and prose on the area makes me think of when my wife (then GF) and I backpacked into Organ Pipe back before...

What... no tequila?? I loved the report and pics Chuck! Great to see your bro' and J.R. in the shots. I have had the pleasure of meeting up with J.R. on a couple of trips too, he's a great guy and probably one of the most frequent visitors to Mexico on this forum (although I think Mr. Fuentes...

Happy New Year Ara & Spirit. Please give Spirit a heartfelt thanks for sending out the package of treats to my four-legged friend in Tucson just before Christmas. From what I was told, she was absolutely thrilled when she figured out that a package had been delivered just for her, and she was...

I think BGAN is what you are after. Coverage up there might be sketchy at times, but it's the best option I am aware of. It looks like they have coverage north of Barrow but it says that area is expected in 2008 (the sat to be launched in 2008). Perhaps you could try to get some references from...

The truck is looking good Pierre! Congrats on the new wheels/tires. Pretty cool that you did the weight comparison - good idea.

Overland Journal will be getting one for evaluation just as soon as they are ready. :)

:wings: Congrats to EarthRoamer! This is really cool and it's great to see ER's just driving by (purely by chance) on the roads these days. Whoever is successful with their application and gets to work with them can shout out a healthy "SCORE!" . Good luck to any who apply. (go for it oldcj5guy)
