Man it's only 3 hours away from me! wish I had the $ to buy it. Looks like a total resto though. I'm sure there is a good reason why there are no close up pics.

So what are you guys doing for rock lights if at all? I am thinking about those pro burner wal mart specials and adding some sealer to water proof them. Thay are like $15 a pr. Some of the local guys have been using those with success but didn't know if anyone else had a better idea. I plan on...

Welcome to the forum and nice runner! Where are your from?

Ya know for me it's the stuff in the cab. When I was down under I picked up a dash organiser from Micheles sacks. It can hold radios, sunscreen, bug dope, sunglasses, maps etc. I attached it to the dash using dual lock by 3m. So far no issues. I also ordered my beard seats with the large map...

Well I spoke to several small ranger stations in Idaho and I can not believe how nice and helpfull these rangers were. Some of them just poured there hearts out about al these little side trips in the area we will be. I called up to order some maps and get a handle on any possible trial...

Dories are small wood, fiberglass, or aluminum boats that are rowed down swift moving rivers. A self bailing raft is one that has scuppers in the floor for water to drain out. This eliminates the need to pull over and empty the raft while paddling down rough rivers. here is a pic...

First and most obvious no trailer needed for the raft so you can take it on alot more outings. the dory will cost alot more and be a PITA to store. It is also more suseptable to damage in low water on swift rivers. Now the up sides. It is a drier craft for those onboard since it is not self...

Interesting in two ways. One the idea of building aboat that won't float it's own weight. second that may not be the first powered kayak like top gear proclaims, depending on the age of the clip. There was a guy in cali back in 98 or 99 that stared powerkak. He was retro fitting honda engines...

Yep a narrow tire is hard to find with good tread for what we do. I'm Planning on ordering (5) 33X10.50 BFG muds next month for my taco. I decided not to go to the extra expense of getting 16" rims for the 255/85/16 size which is just a slightly taller verion of the 33X10.50 just in metric size...

It's official we have a Mainiac on the board :hehe: We now have the whole east coast covered from north to south! Looking forward to hearing more on your build.

I have been keeping a journal since I was 20. The affectionate name for this monstrosity is "the memiors of a river god" :hehe: It got started when I was competing and teaching paddling around the U.S. I had an issue with those that couldn't keep their roots in mind and taught by making others...

So I called down there today to get the newest info on wheeling down there. Up unitl a few years ago there was a substantil area that was open to wheeling. However as to be expected they closed it down. Now after reopening they have limited all use to one area know as Bear Island. There are a...

On the interior I use 303. It is put out by Blue magic and is available in any marine store. It works on rubber, plastic, nylon, vinyl, etc. They also have one now for fabrics. basically regular 303 is a shine enhansing product like 303. The major diference is that it has a 50 spf rating so it...

One word...NICE :clapsmile

Well since Boone has no trails, and G.W. only has one open to regualar vehicles I would say both those are out. Of the remaining 3 land between the lakes has 100 miles of trails all of which seem to be open to our class of ohv. It also looks like a great area to do some paddling. Seems to be...

That's why fisherman ar such great customers. They need all that stuff LOL! No seriously though it's like our rigs just alot less expensive overall. the little projects are fun. Mine has a wade line, anchor with full trolley system, 7 rod holders a custom office crate to hold gear, GPS, fish...

Also note Scott the Thule bars can be cut down about 10" if the overhang is an issue for small truck owners. Just trimoff with a hack saw and then drill new holes to mount the end caps. I have trimmed a few for some of my customers but personally have left mine alone. Since I am always carrying...

Yea the topper was available at the time I posted they just dfid not have any great photo's available showing it. I think for some reason though I would prefer a custom canvas "topper" with a rack integrated to it. I like how the one with the topper is more narrow and doesn't stick out past the...

Actually heritage has always been independant. They just sold however about 2 months ago to Andy Zimmerman. He was the original owner of wilderness systems and started the confluence investment group. He sold out his part of confluence and bought a store in N.C. called pro canoe which he renamed...

performance sit on tops are tough to come by. Especially in composite. I would look for an overseas manufacturer. There are a few that come out of south africa that are good. You will have a bit of await to get it. I would say 6-12 months. here are a few that I know the first is a U.S. boat...
