Nice photos. Don't mean to jump on your thread but I plan on taking my daughter to the Sand Dunes the week after Memorial Day with my neighbor and his daughter. Kind of a Father Daughter camping thingy. We plan on camping for two nights. It's my first trip down there and we'll be going over...

Saws are good for deadfalls or cutting up large stuff but I never go out without an axe. It's tough to split firewood or shave kindling with a saw.

Cool pics and the truck is looking good. How did you secure the jerry can to your tailgate? Looking at your photos makes me want to get out. My last trip was canned due to that big snow storm we got and I'm dying to get up to the mountains. My next chance is Labor Day week. What elevation...

As the others have mentioned extensions are not needed in the front. I have the same setup as you, minus the add a leaf, and have had no issues with my front brakes. I've got OE lines up front and an extended braided line in the back. If you have the SAW 2.0 then you should not have any...

I'm just being a smart a.. :ylsmoke: . It looks like something I need to add to my mod list. Have you had a chance to test it in any type of wind yet? It looks like it is free standing in your photos but I assume it has a couple of guy lines as well?

Nice looking awning but it looks like your tent and truck are providing most of the shade. ;)

I have no experience with Allpro springs but to me they definitely look too long. My OMEs with OME shackles are no where near that angle. Just courious, have you measured the distance of the Allpro springs yet to compare them with the stock distance? I would avoid relocating your hangers and...

I too have the Fiskars version. Great axe for splitting wood for camp fires, very durable and easy to sharpen. Highly recommend it. However I too would take a bow saw for clearing larger deadfalls.

Not sure about the hot weather problems but I've got friends that swear by Optimas. I just replaced my battery a few months ago and decided to give this a try. It's a spiral cell like an Optima. Made by Exide. I found some good articals on it so I got one and have been happy so far. Just...

So does anyone know of a good anti-slip tape that I can put on my sliders that won't tear the skin off the legs of my passengers when they rub against it? I've tried regular anti-skid tape from the hardware store but it's way too abrasive. I remember seeing some a long time ago while searching...

The key is how you twist it when folding it up. There's probably no way I could explain it since I usually have to relearn how to do it if I don't use it for a few months! I just really like how compact it is and the way it just pops open for use. For $39 I thinks its a great deal.

I know with my SAWs there is not much room in there with the wheels on but it can be done. The collars are tough to turn and the easiest way I found was to us a cheater bar. I just slip my floor jack handle over the spanner wrench and it is extremely easy to turn. Especially if you are...

I think you'll like this shelter Kcowyo. I got one last year from Sportmans Warehouse. They sell them for $39. It's very lite weight and sets up quickly. If it's windy use the sand bags that it comes with. It took me a couple of tries to figure out how to fold the thing up but once you do...

It probably is made by Howling Moon. ARB does that with a lot of thier products, such as the Speedy Seal Tyre Puncture Repair Kit and the E-Z Tyre Deflator are example. Safety Seal Currie E-Z tire deflator None the less, nice looking tent.

I agree with the comments on the contacts. My first Tacoma, a 1995, had problems with the contacts at about 90k.

I was looking at those along with all the other brands and decided on the Warn M8000. I prefer one manufactured in the USA and it has such a good reputation I felt I could not go wrong. 4Wheel Parts sells them for $525, 100' cable and roller fairlead, and $20 shipping or just pick it up at the...

There are just so many places to go. As mentioned above the Siverton area is hard to beat. Another one of my favorites is the St Elmo ghost town area just south west of Buena Vista. There are some nice camping areas and a ton of nice trails, scenery and old mines. If time allows I'd head...

The wife and I a couple of years ago at the Mary Murphy Mine outside St. Elmo Colorado.

I looked at one last week and it was nice but I still prefer a hard sided chuck box. I ended up getting one of these from Sportsmans Warehous. It's obviously much heavier that the Kelty product but it carries a lot of crap including my stove. Even though it's plastic it seems very durable.

Deavers are certainly a very good choice. I actually went with an OME set up in the rear (leafs, shocks and shackles). I carry a lot of crap when I camp and often tow a camper so I wanted a leaf pack that kept the overload leafs. I have been very happy with the OME suspension. Improvements...
