Hey, good to see you here! Thanks very much for the compliment. Tell me about your avatar pic. I dig it. There must be a story. BN, yea - we actually thought it looked like some other places at various times too. One of the coolest things that happened when was we took a big gamble and decided...

Too COOL. Toyota Tacoma, Nissan Xterra, Suzuki Grand Vitara, & Isuzu Trooper. I love it! :victory: This forum is great.

Sweet! I can't wait to talk to you. I only did it once with Scott and Uwe and we had a great time. I'd definitely like to do another one sometime and it would be fun to chat about racing with you. Sounds like you are very experienced.

Note to Scott: I think when you get back, it would be a good idea to create a forum for "Completed Adventures/Events" so we have a place for events like this that do not qualify as "expeditions".

Thanks for the detailed reply. My knowledge on military vehicles is very limited, so this is a great opportunity to learn a bit. I can get sore working on my little Tacoma - I can't imagine working on that beast... hehehe. 1" drive?? Can you please tell us a little more about the nicad bank and...

Roseann, I hope that the soreness is fleeting and a minor nuisance. :( What a BUMMER!! Pretty impressive that you shook it off and went on with the show! It was fantastic to finally meet you in person and I wish Jonathan could have been there too. It was great to see Brittan again. And pretty...

Wow! That's pretty cool. How could one beat that? Maybe light it on fire and then juggle it?

AND at the brewery, we want to hear all of the dirt on him :D Only a couple more hours and we're outta here...

Nice! See if you can snap a pic of the lake for me. I'm curious what the water level looks like. Last time I was there it was still very low, but I think there has been a lot of rain since then, but it will probably take some realy good snowmelt this winter to get it going back up.

I am reluctant to do an engine flush. When I hear people saying they have 200,000 or 300,000 or more miles on their Toyotas, and all they did was change the oil and scheduled maintenance, that seems like a sound plan to me. I'd be curious to hear from people like Jonathan Hanson and others who...

Hmmm - I'm pretty sure Brittan has been using Mojave teflons on his Tacoma. Maybe he will chime in.

That's what I would suggest - run the ground directly to your neg. battery terminal (and fuse it just like the power wire). This will also keep your radio more safe in the event that the chassis gets spiked due to a "short".

AHA! I knew it. :) I was imagining the same thing. In all honesty, I can't see that being an ideal vehicle for Darcy due to the poor fuel economy. Now if you were to get it to build as a trail/expedition type vehicle, and she would drive it when you aren't, then it makes more sense. But in...

:Wow1: now that's insane. Are you still adventure racing? SWR, my guess is that the bank where the trail is now established was much more off-camber than is apparent in the pic, and as he was trying to avoid the ledge, he probably slid and flopped.

Thanks :) The towers broke. Funny thing is, they were brand new. I have used my rack with Yakima towers for almost 8 years with no troubles, and recently had a couple of them crack due to age (and UV I'm sure). So these were new replacements - it looked like there were some air bubbles in the...

SWR, yes that is up near Crown King, which is not on the way to the camp area. HERE is a pic of that same spot taken in August.

Thanks guys. I actually didn't get as many action shots as I would have liked to because I was a little busy :) Yea, it probably has a little bit of influence on the upcoming rally, but not a lot. No, we likely will not be doing it next year.

:lurk: :jump:

I posted a gallery for the NVTR 05.

No sweat! Much better than I imagined. So... who's car is this really going to be anyway? :)
