    How many of you make sure to bring protection when on the trail?

    I'm a cop myself and I hope what's featured above is what you carry on the job and not off. When I'm just out and about off duty I always have a knife if the pocket and I'll throw my backup pistol in my pocket maybe half the time. When I take the family out camping I always have a gun on me...

    Toiletries organization ideas ?

    We've been using one of these from Cabelas for years and it works great.

    time for tires for my 04 Unlimited.

    I'd stick with ATs if it's going to be a daily driver. I've gone the AT to MT then back to AT route. The MTs are nice looking but I'm on pavement most of the time so I decided an AT is the best for me. I've had BFG in the past and think they are a great tire. I've also had Bridgestone Dueler...

    soft topper with rack system

    This is the set up that I have been looking at for a while. What I like about the Softopper is the good reputation, topper folds down in seconds, can be completely removed very quickly and they are local to me, Boulder CO. The cross bars they offer are external of the topper. The topper it...

    Edged Tools, Selection, Care, etc.

    This is what I carry everyday on the job but usually go a bit smaller when I'm not working. Benchmade, CRKT and SOG knives are personal favorites of mine. The CRKT F4-12 is a very nice little neck knife I often wear. You can pick them up for around $15 and they can be worn around the neck...

    OME suspension?

    I personally like the OME shocks and think they work really well. They were designed to work with the springs. Either shock will do fine I'm sure. As far as the install it's very easy. Save yourself some $ and do it yourself. Having a buddy will make the rear go quicker. You may want to...

    OME suspension?

    Just curious as to why you decided on using the Bilstein shocks in the rear vs going with the OME shocks.

    So what's the deal?

    I spoke with Mario the other week and he said to think of a camper on steroids!! Can't wait.

    OME suspension?

    When I did my rear suspension I went ahead and used new shackles(OME), new bushings and greasable bolts front and rear. I recommend them. Don't use this suspension off road without installing an extended brake line. The added lift along with the increased travel will cause problems with your...

    Best method to carry canoe on 2002 4runner

    If you have money to burn you can get a Yakima or Thule set up but I think you'll be just fine using the factory rack. Like mentioned above just put some foam pipe wrap or something on the bars to add some extra protection.

    Fridge size?

    After reading the reviews in the OJ I decided to give the Waeco a try. I also went with the 50 ltr. I has about the same outside demensions as the Engel 45 but more interior room. It should be showing up in the next week or two, inside my new Chaser!!

    OME suspension?

    I have an 03 Tacoma and run a full OME set up in the rear (springs, shocks, shackels) and really like it. It holds weight very well and gives you a good 3" of lift. Install was very easy. In the front I too decided to go with an adjustable coil over. I run SAW 2.0 with 675 lbs spring rate...

    Totaly off topic, Gun law question

    I'd probably think twice before going out to a bar with those two again. Also, as a cop, there's a good chance he would have ended up seriously hurt, to say the least, had he been pulled over!

    java juice?

    I'm really curious too. I've been thinking of trying it for a while. I need to just get some. Unless it's REALLY good I'll probably still use the coffee pot for car camping and the java juice for snow shoeing, hiking and backpacking. For some reason the green tea and hot chocolate just did...

    A most impressive young man

    That's awesome. Our 9 year old completed her first 14'ner last year. She plans on doing several more next summer with us.

    Spent the first night ever sleeping in my Xterra...

    Congrats. The Xterra is great for sleeping in. The link below will show you a few pics of me and the wife on our first overnight trip with it last year. If you haven't heard yet the 8 gallon action packers are the perfect size to fill the hole behind the front seats so you have a nice level...

    Stereo in a Expedition Trailer?

    I've thought of this too. Our friends have Sirius radio in their 4runner and sometimes it is nice to have some good tunes or a sports game when in the field. I think I am going to end up just having it installed in the truck vs the trailer. I'll get more us out of it that way.

    Leadville 100 or Silver Rush 50???

    I assumed you meant the running race. Is that so or is it the bike race?

    Leadville 100 or Silver Rush 50???

    My wife and I were in Leadville last summer at the end of the event and saw some of them coming across the line. Wow is all I can say. I don't know what your level of experience is but the cut off is 15 hours for the half way point and 30 hours to finish. If you don't make those times they...
