    Can someone explain to me the hoopla over disc brakes on low end bikes??

    Funny this comes up... I have a Salsa disc cyclocross bike and was never happy with the discs, in fact I was looking at mini-Vs. I had Paul Retro's on my old CX bike and wasn't happy with them in wet races either. After my first race this year, I decided to try a flat bar. Wow.... same wheels...

    Looooww mileage 80

    How do you drive a truck only ~2500 miles a year? I think my Taco averaged that per month for over half it's life! BTT

    I agree with Flagster, in fact many call them damage multipliers. A small accident is made larger as grill guard bends into more body parts.

    Current coleman stoves?

    I also just picked up a cheap propane adapter and tested it.... works great (but I could tell it had less heat... BTUs) So I now have two old stoves ready to rock and roll!

    Trump's 03 Tacoma

    How do the straps work? Did you just loop under the mattress? It would be great to leave my sleeping bags when "flipping" closed each day! Thanks!

    01-04 Tacoma Double Cab

    Willman, I agree this is interesting. I paid $19,900 in 2005 for my 02 with 42k. It was a lease return, super clean and I was happy. And I agree, it has proven to be the best rig purchase so far.

    An interesting problem

    You can also check with the PS DMV, NY used to issue a 30 day tag for an out of state purchase. I gave them a VIN #, flew to SC and drove my FJ40 back to NY....

    You must be great at negotiating... last 2013 LC on the lot I saw was north of $90k! Congrats, I have read great things on the latest LCs! 15 years or so I hope to have one.

    Conqueror Conquest 2.0

    OK< I am in Asheboro, I would like to see the Conquest if we ever cross paths. Ever since Dendy posted his, I thought they were the perfect size.

    01-04 Tacoma Double Cab

    That price seems high and and the truck is "overly clean" - the Toyota tax must be high in the PNW! Was the timing belt done? I didn't see the sticker, and at that price make sure it is included! (include water pump, idler pulley, etc) I think you should do a national search and see if trading...

    Current coleman stoves?

    Rebuild your old stove. I bet all the parts except the grill (don't know why) are still available. I rebuilt my grandfather's 1960s 425, after my brother took it to the beach and left sand/salt on/in it in the garage. Sanded the case and painted with BBQ paint, clean and painted the manifold...

    Box Rocket '03 DC Tacoma Build

    Adam, if you have not done the family trip yet here is what I did. I created a cardboard boot between the cab and cap, that kept ambient air out and allowed just AC air in, then I used the silver reflective stuff and covered both side windows to reduce solar gain... it worked in August from NY...

    Brandon's 2004 Double Cab Build thread.

    Wheels look great. Makes me wish I had not sold mine..... I also wish you made a second set of sliders for me.... I can not find bolt on sliders for our trucks.

    4 runner and chinook

    If the 4Runner is still nice, I say save it (sell it) and find the truck you want.

    Are there any other camper types similar to the Flip Pac??

    The only other option I know of is a Wilderness. It would be used.... I have a Flippac and had the same concerns and went ahead and bought a used one... the cost was similar to a brand new shell...

    Best balance of mileage and capability?

    My 02 D&C 4x4 got no better than 19 stock and now 16.8 with lift etc. 13 or less towing. I am not easy on the gas pedal but gave seen the same numbers from other Tundra owners. I love my Taco, still glad I own it, just letting you know.
