as usual, good info, guys. The time has come for me to book mark Ryan's thread and email a link to my wife at work (Hi Jen). We have Rider #1 in the Staging area as we speak :av-7:, due to show up at the starting line Dec. 15 I've already bought your old Mud Terrains, maybe you'll have a car...

a guy can't have any fun anymore without someone always pointing a camera atcha. Sheesh. Sure am glad the camera wasn't a part of everybody's daily dress when I was younger. I'll add "Have you ever hauled a jet ski inside?" to my list of questions to ask when looking at vans to buy.:snorkel:

I put one bar all the way to the front of my cab, and had three across the canopy for various uses. I usually haul the oats up dies down, but not always.

Thanks LD. I need cut/add/weld mine to increase departure angle a bit. I like what you have done. Like the lights, too.

Wow. I rmember looking at used ones in the mid '90s for $14k. Hey, there was a Westy I looked at in Bellingham about 6 or 8 yrs ago owned by a young guy named Wes something or other and his Westy was named The Wesel.

Does anyone know the reasoning regarding why the Westy pop top does not cover the entire roof line? Why is the little front piece not part of the pop top? I realize that the Vanagon roofline is longer than mine, but the top does not take advantage of the extra length, and it seems like...

Thanks for the photos and info. That is a great looking rig. I always liked the concept of a lifted 4x4 Class C. Yours looks like the optimal size as, I agree, it certainly seems to maximize interior space and floorplan within a given exterior footprint that isn't too large. The...

I'm working on convincing my kids that if they are bad, I will send to bed without their push-ups! "No push-ups for you! Go straight to bed with out push-ups! RRoc, won't you be my neighbor?!! Edit: i think I've found a suitable role model for a daughter should I have a girl: Lulu Puy. Of...

Since you're new around here...I'm gonna be nice and help you out a bit.:sombrero: For starters, you're gonna need to post a few more pics of that bad boy than just that one. I'm talking exterior, interior, scenic destination shots, action shots, camp site shots, bike hauling shots. Oh yeah...

I'm pretty sure I'm not worthy of posting pics in this thread, but it's one of my favs. Many of you may recognize this as it's near The Pillars of Rome. An old truck inside a horse corral.

While you did ask for camp sites, The Loft by The Lighthouse near Charleston might be a nice luxury for not too much $. We stayed there on an Oregon Coast kayaking trip and loved it. http://www.loftbythelighthouse.com/ Washington's Cape Dissapointment has good seaside camping...

As much as i like the Sprinter Allrad 4x4 in Europe, every last one of my contractors and subcontractors that had Sprinters have gotten rid of them. Every last one. They've gone back to E series, Chevs, or cube vans. I'm just saying...

Nice Rover. What's your plan for Canada? (Living 20 minutes south of the Canadian border, 3 minutes off I-5, 20 minutes north of http://northwestoverlandsociety.org/ 's world headquarters, and being a fellow AstroLander, enquiring minds want to know.) In other words, you've got friends in...

Where did you go? How far from home was it? I've liked the Sorentos and was considering one for a while. Seem to be a great all round vehicle. I've gotten out for last three weekends in a row. So much to see witihin a few hours from my house. Even though it may on/y be one night, it makes...

Hmmm. Can't think of anything at the moment...:rolleyes: I've carried 7 people with luggage comfortably (without a thule box on top). You could easily put a thule box on the roof with 6 bikes, and another 4 on a thule rack in back if needed (we often each bring an all mountain and a downhill...

I know the trail well... Perfect.

Glad you like it as much as I do. I already told Brian that he's gonna sign it, so I can frame it and hang it on my office wall.:ylsmoke:

Two weekends ago were invited to camp in a friend's back yard of his weekend home on Orcas Island, in Washington. He said bring the enduro, the hardtail, and sea kayaks. His family owns about 100 acres and he's built trails on it. Not bad for lawn camping. Then Memorial Weekend...

Looks like a Valley boat. Could be a Pintail with a keyhole cockpit, but with your penchant for expedition I'd say it's a Nordkapp. And I don't remember the Pintail coming with the oval hatch in front unless that is a newer option. (Edit: Of course not; the Pintail bow is too low volume to be...

I'll chalk it up to this: White water boaters are capable of all sorts of things.:bike_rider::roost: Have you seen the ADV slideshow pic with the BMW Dual Sport with the Liquid Logic strapped on the back with the dog sitting in it? You don't see sea kayakers doing stuff like that.
