    How much do want for the sunlite when your next camper is finished? (I didn't realize I needed a 4rth camping option until I read this thread!)

    Grand Canyon Bright Angel Trail

    Ha. I was just looking at Bright Angel trail picks of ours from 15 years ago. Out of the six of us that went, only myself and my Uncle were able to hike all five days. The others had to rest legs, and recover. Its not an easy trip. We went down Indian Gardens and then Uncle and I broke off...

    The most expensive overlander?!

    Fun and informative thread. If I had that kind of money, I'd still have my same litttle rig...but of course I'd have that one too!:drool: Granted, this is the same stuff I did in my Mom's '68 Cutlas Wagon when I was 16, but it still gets the point across...

    New Kayak Waterfall Record Set

    Great interview. That crew's been running around for a while now. He mentions Ben Stookesbury whos been showing a "Hotel Charlie" movie series with our local ww guys for a few years now. Thanks for the link. Next time I'm down that way I'll have to cruise by and take a look...without my boat!

    All around kayaks...

    Thats a great point Kristian. An old Prijon T Canyon could make a good all rounder like that. The classic all rounder is the Prijon Yukon. The Prijons are nice because they are blow molded plastic instead of rotationally molded, so they don't need a foam center pillar. That makes packing...

    Has anyone ever built there own penthouse top???

    With all due respect, you have way to much vision, talent, and skill for one man. I've never before seen a pop top with the ability to become a 2 bedroom; you could easily put another bunk over the drivers seat and what would be the second row of seating, and still have plenty of open room...

    Pics of your VAN! Post up!

    Thanks for your opinions, guys. Ya know, I was going to take the body cladding off anyway...so i could paint it black first, and I have an extra set of the same Chevy wheels with some worn BFG ATs on them, so i can paint those too. And how much could a black front bumper cover off a cargo van...

    Seattle to Death Valley

    Great work. I must admit, as much as I love the outdoors, scenery shots devoid of animals, kayaks, bikes, or rigs, usually bore me. Blacklock's book on Lake Superior is one that comes to mind that intriques me and makes me want to investigate the area. Your work does that too, also makes me...

    All around kayaks...

    I would encourage you to take your lessons before purchasing boats. It will alter many of your preconceptions about paddling and you will be better prepared to make a purchasing decision.

    Need paddle advise

    Its very effective in places like Sayulita where the long boards are often the board of choice to catch the smaller waves. The paddle boardies catch many more waves. Keep in mind that the relative body measurement is torso length rather than overall height. While I'm under 5'11, I'm taller...

    Upper Peninsula; Marquette to Whitefish Point

    We used to sea kayak from Grand Marais (MI. of course, not Mn.) to Munising, stopping at 12 Mile Campground, then finish up with dinner at the Dog Patch. Best looking waitresses in the UP. Food wasn't bad, either Even the car shuttle down the sandy roads was fun. I live in Wa state now, and...

    Expo 4x4 Camper Van Project

    Are you looking to re-live your youth YES! with another one? NO! No thanks, as cool as those are, I've got my hands full with enough projects and planned travel dates and weekly rides and paddles, thanks. I need to do bumpers front and rear, and a Westphalia type interior yet. When...

    New Kayak Waterfall Record Set

    Agreed. I don't want to sound like a wet blanket, and really, who the hell am I... but I'm still infinitely more impressed by watching some of Kent Ford's moves down a slalom course in a C1 than I am by some guy hucking a Hail Mary. Just my 2 very humble cents.

    Expo 4x4 Camper Van Project

    I've noticed that guys on 'Yotacrack seem to have difficulty posting pics of Fords.:ylsmoke: The green FJ40 on your site looks exactly like the one I had when I was 16 yrs old back in the early '80s. Good times. By the looks of your website, you're going to have a blast with the camper van.

    My new Sprinter 4X4

    Right on. Nice rig and a good vision. Are you looking to go with something like the Brian Lopes SMB set up? BTW, how is the dirt biking in the UK? The hiking is fantastic and the paddling is awesome, and so is the road biking. But I've never actually seen an dirt biking, except for a...

    SWB Vans

    Thanks for the compliment. My decision came down to the Astro or the WRX Syncro (no "h" BTW). If I were T.Leno instead of T.Low I would have one of each and have my very own long term test and evaluation of both and have my mechanic repair and maintain the one whilst I was out in the...

    the rust saga continues...

    I'm sorry, I couldn't look. Its awful that a good truck be lost before its time due to rust cancer. I've forgotten what thats like since moving from Michigan. Good luck with her...I hope she makes it thru restoration.

    Project "UHAULER"

    Good call on the mongo window. Along with my 4x4 van, I have a 1972 17' Prowler RV camper trailer, and the thing I really love about it is all the crank out windows. I back that sucker right down next to the river to camp and when i wake in the morning its coffee in bed while I'm looking...
