I liked the LC because you could park it in tight SF parking spots. It fit our curb between driveways at our place in SF. He's in the BayArea parking ability might retain a high value depending on where he lives and typically goes. I have more room today and would really like a midsized pickup...

Its not great but our 2010 has done fine with the old Yakima rail grabs. Grabbing the stowed stock rails. Full range of madness has hauled up there just fine. 66in bars with 18ft canoe beside my Thule box. Or my RS Feva 135lb Jrs racing saling skiff. Or 4 bikes which are like towing a fullsized...

Your point about economic growth via trail seekers and users is something I see being a big leverage point. Also increased eyes and regular use by legal users pushes problem users out of the area. Two attractive feathers land managers can brag about. Which I have no issue letting them take...

Agreed..

Hey Chris I would very much like to talk with you. I'm transitioning from salt mine slave to ideally advocate for local trail development. I'm currently working on a relationship with a land conservation org that supports Access, but is a very small organisation that is collecting some...

Mid week trail use is highest by local Mt biking families than any other user. Its very easy to take the kids "away from traffic on a hour long 5 mile ride after dinner during the summer than a 5 mile 2hr hike. Were not shredding were enjoying a ride away from traffic and crowds. Stopping to...

Acutally its easy to think that if your not a mountian biker. Not everyone is a gopro Redbull rider. Thats like saying all 4x4 owners are desert racing throttle jockies.

I need to read more but I will say that the most recent and biggest HS team sport growth in the last three yrs has been Mt bike version of crosscountry running. I would bet this Eco preservation approach is simply targeting what they see as the largest future user of large tracts of land. But...

Keep in mind octane ratings refer to the fuel stability not its energy density. The higher the octane rating the more stable it is. Engine design that results in hot spots under load trigger less stable fuel resulting in ignition at the wrong time of the cycle causing pinging and power reduction...

I have not seen any modern non 70's cars without a stock cold air intake. Intake mods are the biggest waste of money in todays aftermarket junk.

4 yrs with a 4runner followed by 7 yrs with a very nice LC. And now a Sequoia since 2011. Hands down the LC. As my shopping assistant put it. You want a 60k rig for 10k or do you want a 25k rig aka 4runner for 15k? The LC is on a whole different playing field. Oh and far far superior BayArea...

Thanks for sharing. I have picts of my kids skipping rocks on the same exact river bar. We did 6 days base camped in the Avenue of the giants. Then did day trips. That exact river bar access was our daily stop with the dog and kids. Did you visit Gold Bluffs and fern canyon? That was cool! Fort...

Ground water policies need to be fixed. Wells near major rivers are not metered but river pumping is. Water has always been a big money and political game in CA. You want some amazing reading check this couple out. If the public knew the water scams this married couple have run they would have...

The aluminum suspension parts dont handle heavy loading and rough terrain very well. An X5 was professionally built up as a chase vehicle for Ewan Mcgregor's run of the big trans Sahara. They were able to deal with engine and systems issues. But complete failure of the Aluminum rear suspension...

They need more than that in truckee right now. Most folks I know up there are now maxing out the ability of the Bobcat skidder snow thrower. LOL One friend finally cleared his driveway yesterday. No joke the drifts around the driveway are higher than the house.

When I was involved with building high end racing sailboats the Builder due to materials availability switched to a different foam type for cored areas. Each core type has its own speced / engineered wetting cook book to achieve full wet through. The builder didnt have a cook book for the new...

Ive seen this thing. It was parked at the Halfmoon Bay marina. I thought it might have been a diy submarine converted halfway through the build to a portable weatherstation.

The change in ply type might affect the amount of bonding agent need per panel. The dry spots could be due to their switch in ply type. Different absorbsion etc. Cool project

I run old school yakima rail grabs clamped to the stowed oem rails. I run two bar lengths pending my load. 54 and 66. Haven't had any issues over 83,000 miles. Plenty of harsh winds at highway speeds vs boats, bikes and other junk strapped up there. In a perfect world, just give me some yakima...

The huge rv rental outfit rents nicely outfitted F150's with a decent cabover camper now. That would be an easy way to test your interest.
