Thanks to everybody for sharing their insight and experiences. My wife and I are considering moving up from our Tacoma to a full-size for a dedicated FWC camper truck. I'm a victim of my experiences growing up around ________ - brand trucks in ranch country in the 70s and 80s, but this thread...

Mmmmm.......yummy! I've been pondering a disc conversion to the rear of my '02 Taco (it's portly like Jeff's with a FWC) but this thread confirms the direction I think I need to go....I'm going to simply improve the existing components with some aftermarket rotors and pads up front and better...

LOL.

Certainly. In the photo is a medium size tape measure for perspective. The taper of the axe appears to have a very slight bias to the right in this photo. In person, the blade is true. I don't have any game when it comes to the warranty.....20 years is EXCELLENT. Also, the extra length on...

Condor is the brand and Classic is the model. Overall length is 16.5". The handle is made with American hickory. The head is stamped "El Salvador". The head wedge is SS. No gaps between the wood and the head on top. Very slight gaps on the underside but no looseness. Head depth is...

Griffdog, you are the man !! Great work on your restoration.

It took me a minute to understand the last two words...when I got it, I chuckled out loud. I call it the 'elementary school debate exchange'.

Alrighty...let me get a pic tomorrow. That'll give you snooty girls ( :D ) 24 hours to memorize every nuance of your exclusive hand axes so you can quickly gossip down the one I bought from Sportsman's Warehouse.

I think Road Armor is junk. I've seen probably 15-20 of them in Afghanistan on our contractor trucks and the bumpers are, IMO, more cosmetic than business.

Yep, I'm not that experienced. I'm only familiar with Toyota products (1st and 2nd gen 4Runner and 1st gen Tacoma).

Mmmm.....classic Duc.

Ooooh, mama mia.

Boys, boys, boys....it's all about the painter, not the brush. Let's not get snooty about a simple axe....this isn't any different than a bunch of women touting their Gucci shoes when the same style at Dillard's is manufactured in the same plant. I have the exact same axe for $60 less. It...

In the hands of an Afghan, yes.

I agree with your disagreement. I wouldn't want a locker switched on full time for a daily drive in the dry. That'd wear out some rubber, oil and steel a lot faster than not.

Taller tires = clearance. Right tread for right terrain/conditions. Chains to compensate for lack of 4WD. Hmmm, rear locker....yep, gotta agree that would allow you to tilt at bigger windmills.

You guys are doing GREAT !! Keep up the good work. I look forward to your updates.

Thanks for the reply Dzzz. It looks like there are a couple of dealers in Colorado (my home state) so I should get a solid answer. I'm really hoping I can build a single-fuel camper so I don't have to fool with looking for propane in Central and South America. Part of the trip will be spent...

Lance, When you come up for air, I sent you a couple of PMs. Thanks!
