My advice is to see what she wants to drive. My wife would refuse to drive anything that big (three rows).....I'm thinking about getting her a Lexus RX. The Highlander is going away soon, so I'd lean towards a Grand Highlander. The Lexus version (TX) will ride and handle even better.

During the trip, I decided that we needed to go to Agate Fossil Beds National Monument. Having passed by this place 100's of times, it was time to finally make the drive. On the way there, my Dad said that he'd never been there either. I had zero clue what to expect, and for some reason I...

Back to the Ranch.....we spent a few days there catching sunsets, shooting guns, visiting with family, tracking coyotes, and training for my marathon, which was only 5 weeks away.

Backing up, briefly, to Mount Rushmore.... I was there on July 3, 1991, and saw Pres. George Bush Sr. give a speech, when I was eleven years old. As we were here, on this visit, I'm just now realizing that my oldest son was 11 years old. I was excited to see that there was display from that...

He quickly mentioned it at the 21:20 mark, while standing in front of the red FJ Cruiser. He probably should have spent more time on that though.....I would have, as I think it's very relevant to the video's topic.

Jerry, I know someone posted this YouTube channel earlier, but I think you'll like to check out this video at the 10 minute mark, such an awesome find: Cool podcast, I started listening to it this morning, thanks for the suggestion.

Cool! My Dad was raised in Lead, SD, and my Aunt and Uncle still live there, in their childhood home, next to the Homestake Mansion. My Grandfather worked in the gold mine until he retired, not long after I was born. There are two parts of the mine, the open cut and the underground mines. My...

YouTube video on the Land Cruiser.

My wife would never live there, as it's waaaay to far from anything. My parents will be living there at least half of the year, soon. What I could see is moving to the Denver area, someday, which is roughly 4 hours away.

Since Rapid City, SD is in the mountain time zone, it was no problem getting up early and hitting Mt. Rushmore by 8:30am. I've been here a number of times since I was a kid, so I was excited to bring my boys.......more excited than they were. We did walk the trail that takes you closer to the...

Fall break 2024 was from Kentucky out to South Dakota, Nebraska, and back. The total trip was 7 days and a bit over 3000 miles. I left on a Friday, just after Noon, driving in Hurricane Helene rains until a few hours past St. Louis. I caught between 4 and 5 hours of sleep in the back seat just...

My Dad's (formerly my Grandpa's) 2000 and my 2023 F150, 5.4L and 3.5TT, respectively. Photos were taken early October at our Ranch in Nebraska.

Wow, I saw my first Grenadier this weekend (while running a marathon through a rich part of Indianapolis). I loved how it looked and I thought the BMW engines made enough power to get it moving. I agree, if it's slower than a 5th Gen 4Runner, there's no way I'd buy one. I rented a TRD Pro...

We recently drove from Kentucky out to South Dakota, Nebraska, and back. The total trip was 7 days and a bit over 3000 miles. I left on a Friday, just after Noon, driving in Hurricane Helene rains until a few hours past St. Louis. I caught between 4 and 5 hours of sleep in the back seat just...

Great storytelling and thank you for sharing with us! I hope the dog training is progressing immaculately.

The SmartCap has eight nut-certs in the top, which accept M8 x 1.25 (20mm) bolts. Smartcap sells a table that will mount up there. Smartcap warns that if you use them to mount something of your own design, be sure that you don't buy bolts that are too long, or you can dent the outside surface...

I've been watching Desert Drifter for quite some time. Given that Jerry's thread here on ExPo is also favorite of mine, I can see why you recommended it.

Were you with them on Monday? I assume that I would have recognized your truck from a mile away, but I was driving (had just pulled out of the parking lot just up the hill) so there's a chance that I saw you and it just didn't register.

Awesome trip! We went hiking at Natural Bridge on 9/2 (Labor Day) and I saw about 4-5 of these TRS guys pull into the lodge parking lot. There are definitely some places in RRG that feel like you're in a prehistoric rain forest, with what seems like a microclimate of different plant life.

Haha, love the Jim Carey quote!
