    Thanks Ursidae, it was a great trip, also my first time. I loved it and can't wait to go back. Errin, I believe there's 4wd classes held in gorman, if you run a search you'll probably be able to find it. Flyingwil, yeah it's a can-back. Unfortunately I don't have a mod thread yet, it'll...

    Yes it's across from Home Depot. My fridge was just tied off in the bed, I haven't really 'mounted' it yet. I want to build a bed deck, storage area and put my fridge on a slide. If you haven't already, check out Scott's and Chris' tacomas - they mounted theirs in the cab. They have different...

    wow you're quick ErrinV. Nice pics too. That stretch of ice felt a bit too risky to do alone. :smilies27 I wish I had more vehicles, I definitely would have gone through. Where in Alhambra are you from? I have class out there once in a while at SCE on Marengo and Mission

    We pressed on in search of another place to camp. We spotted a great spot just outside of Death Valley, in the Inyo Natl. forest with a beautiful view of the Sierra's. There was still daylight left so a stop in Big Pine for a large late lunch sounded like a great idea. After topping off the tank...

    On the way we made a stop at Waucoba Mine where I think Borax was mined. There is so much to see here and the history never ends. In the higher elevations the trail was completely covered with snow - it was so beautiful. After driving through some snow we dropped down to Marble Canyon where lies...

    Saturday the 4th We woke up to a beautiful sunrise. Enjoyed some scrambled eggs topped with cheese and kielbasa. After casually packing up we relaxed under the awning. While looking at the map I realized we had to climb back up to 7000ft. In fear of encountering what we did earlier we tossed...

    Through ************** Canyon we spotted plenty of cows and bull. The Navy also let us know of their presence with fighter jets maneuvering low through the canyons. It was awesome, I love the rumble from the jets! By 240pm we arrived at Saline Valley Dunes. I’ve never seen sand dunes before so it was...

    Garmin Mapsource Maps

    The map itself is not uploadable into the unit, however you can connect to your gps and exchange waypoints and routes. You can check their website if your unit is compatible. I have a garmin 276c and it's not compatible. Scott, what ng topo series are you using? State? backroads 3d? 3d...

    Which SLR to get

    Last March I bought a Canon Rebel (not the xt) with the 18-55 ef-s lens. This was my first slr so I don't have much to compare it to but I know that it's a perfect first slr for me as far as capabilities/quality go. July comes around and I wanted more zoom so I picked up a canon 70-200 f/4L...

    Kitchen Configurations:

    Scott, I have one of these and love it, but a few trips ago one of the plastic hooks on the table top part broke. It still works great but if more were to break :confused:

    Steel Wheels Vs Aluminum Wheels

    I too have been contemplating swapping back to alloys for the same reasons as Scott. I was thinking of getting these: Similar to the AR's but without the teflon. They're basically a black powdercoated Mickey Thompson Classic II. I've heard of somebody with an 01-04 tacoma that has...
