Day One: We were to meet in St. Regis, MT, on Sept. 4th. That day was selected with the idea that for most families summer vacation would be over and the kids would be back in school. My fellow ROFs would be arriving from all over the country; OH, TX, CO, OR, CA, and me from WA. Most of these...

Prelude: After spending almost 40 years visiting most of Montana there was one area that I wanted to really get to know a little better. So back in May of 2017 I posted a query to see if anyone else would like to join in an adventure through that part of the state. You can read about the...

WHAT??? I am truly, truly shocked. What happened?

Sold to first couple that came to try it out. Safe driving folks! Dale

I went over and checked out Greg's van yesterday. The body is is outstanding condition. The interior looks like it has never been used. Everything is spotless. The cabinetry is made of birch ply and is much more solid feeling than the same age SMC's I've recently looked over. Oversized reefer...

SOLD, thanks for looking! FOR SALE: 2013 Suzuki DL 650 with DMC M72D Sidecar I purchased this hack from the original owner on Sept. 6, 2014 with 3,663 miles on it. After almost four years the odometer now sits at 7,324 miles, not quite doubling the original mileage. I had a F800GT for solo...

I typically look at reliability over resale so have been buying mostly Toyota products for the past 2decades. But the Colorado ZR2 is very tempting. I’ve tried to read or watch every comparison between the two (ZR2 vs TRD). At this point I think the Chevy is a much better deal. And I think I’d...

Looks like both a 2m/70cm & CB antennas mounted on rig. So what others additions have you made?

Ara is truly a person whole opened his soul to the world. Like many of us ROFs he is growing old. Enjoy what you can while you can, but be gentle to others while doing it.

Well, sob, sob, looks like I will be putting Precious up for sale real soon. On the way back from BCOR Nanc and I came across an awful single rider fatality. Nanc was horrified by it and has become very fearful of riding in the hack. Without her along with takes all the joy of the experience...

Will any of you Delica owners be up at the BCOR July 12-15th? I want to show SWMBO some examples of this vehicle. Dale

Very nice. looking at importing one of these..

Great build! Looking at very seriously importing one of these from Canada. We're in grizzly country a lot and wife wants hard walls. :oops:

I am very sorry to hear about this. Last year I spent a lot of time looking at the various builders and Inka came on top of my list for matching my needs. I went to their website repeatedly and contacted them several times. I was about to make a deposit when my wife asked me to hold back. She...

When you are retired speed isn’t that critical. :p

I think it will depend on how much area your maps will be covering. Using the USFS Topo maps background, it took 54mb for two small segments on my first day of a planned 8day trip. You can extrapolate from there.

Thank Superduty. I’m yin the process of creating my routes now. I need to Pre-run everything over the next two months prior to our Sept. old farts adventure. I’ll start downloading now. I’m guessing that the easiest way to do that is to start it up at bedtime and check the results in the morning.

thanks for the support guys. Guess I'll go with the premium edition of Gaia. Noticed that they include the Nat'l Geo maps. I've used them around Moab, Cedar Mesa, etc., and have found them outstanding! Now to learn how to import those maps and also the routes I've created. Still think I'll...

I'm planning a 6-8 day ROF trip through northwest Montana. Most days I am trying to keep the mileage low, 40-60 miles/day. A few will be close to 80 miles, some of which is asphalt. The area covered will be going north from St Regis to the Canadian border, then east to Eureka, finally ending up...

I went with OME medium duty coils on my 5th gen. I’m running 255/80R17 COOPER STT Maxx’s (~33”) and they still look small in the rear wheel wells . Some rubbing in reverse with the front wheels cranked over.
