Garmin Nuvi 500 with 76CS for backup.

Here's a brief review of the Rail Riders VersaTac-light pants: http://www.railriders.com/men-versatac-light-pant-p-954.html?cPath=104_110. I've had a pair of VersaTac-lights for about 4 months now. In short, these are great pants for general outdoor use in warm weather - wet or dry. Over the...

Dustboy - I don't understand the purpose of the warning chime. I always feel the rear wheels break loose. The chime is a bit redundant and annoying. Sarah is in love with her new truck. I'm jealous and wondering just how much more I can afford to stimulate the economy.:smiley_drive: Best...

Skeletool vs. Skeletool CX Hank: Here's the link to the CX: http://www.leatherman.com/multi-tools/full-size-tools/skeletool-cx.aspx and to the standard Skeletool: http://www.leatherman.com/multi-tools/full-size-tools/skeletool.aspx. The primary differences appear to be the type of steel used...

Cabrito - I concur. It's a tool that's intended to be carried much but used little. I don't much fancy the notion of using the Skeletool for heavy work without gloves. On the other hand (pardon the pun), it's sure light and has the tools most often used. Best regards, ELN.

KC - thanks for the kind words. I encourage all Expo members to visit Lander, experience the Winds and the Red Desert, and enjoy the best cheeseburger in the State of Wyoming at the Hitching Rack. You might just find KC and me thereabouts. Best regards from the Big Empty, ELN.

Good morning Martin. I've had the truck in four wheel drive only once. The temp was about + 5 degrees. So far, so good. Ed Newell, UW Law - 1981, Fremont County & Prosecuting Attorney, Lander, WY.

My first new vehicle in several years is a 2009 Toyota Tacoma 4X4 Double Cab as seen here on Toyota's web site: http://www.toyota.com/tacoma/features.html?trim=7594. I'm "cost sharing" the truck with my daughter - a college freshman with a 275-mile commute along the "Sno Chi Minh Trail" (i.e...

One can't own too many multi-tools. My latest is a Leatherman Skeletool CX as seen here: http://www.leatherman.com/multi-tools/full-size-tools/skeletool-cx.aspx. This is a minimalist approach to a full-size multi-tool. It features only the essentials: pliers, wire cutter, partially-serrated...

You've raised the bar for trip reports. :26_7_2: Thank you from the Big Empty. ELN

I bought a Die Hard Platinum from the Cheyenne Sears about 2 months ago. It's just a beast of a battery. My F250 V10 has never had it so good. Oh, and I saved some serious money too. Thanks for the tip! ELN

I suggest the Wingmaster... The 870 has long been in use by most law enforcement agencies. By "use", I mean stuffed in a cruiser rack and shot very little. It's almost impossible to wear the gun out. As agencies transition to the AR-15 pattern rifle, many used LE guns have been traded in and...

Just introduced and it looks promising. Anybody out there have hands on experience with it yet? Heres a review: http://http://www.gpsmagazine.com/2008/07/garmin_nuvi_500_review.php Best regards from the Big Empty, ELN.

Ditto. Please tell all your Californorado friends and neighbors that WY sucks. Thanks very much. ELN

Mr. Milo - I'm sure you'll be happy with the FWC. I believe there's a clean, used one for sale in Riverton, WY. I'll check further if you're interested. Coincidentally, I bought my Apex 8 from Sean Lorenz - the maker of your Dodge suspension. Again, best of luck with your camper shopping. ELN

What a Country! Mr. Milo - I'm sorry the Outfitter 9.5 doesn't work for you. If you're inclined to difficult trails, I'm sure the FWC will fit your needs better. There's no denying it's lighter, lower, and smaller. I'm pleased with my Outfitter Apex 8. I'm just back from a long weekend on...

Craftsman Hand Tool Sale You guys just cost me $99.73 at the Sears store in Riverton, WY! Thanks for the great thread. For those interested, Sears has some hand tools on sale now. I saved $35 on the ratcheting wrenches and the "Professional" screwdrivers...

Thanks Phil. They have a couple crew cabs with the package you recommend. Best regards, Ed.

You guys have just about done it. I'm seriously thinking of taking my first swig of Tacoma Cool-Aid. Toyota's option packages give me a headache. The local dealer has several crew cab 08s with various option packages - TRD Off Road, TRD Sport Package 2, etc. If you were to buy an '08 Tacoma...
