Yeah looking at his vin yesterday it was made in the states. Guess they started building tacos in Canada in 2022

Close friends with 5th gen 4Runner and 3th gen taco, the Canadian made Tacoma seems to be in the shop for something every couple of months and their higher mileage, Japanese made, 4runner has performed flawlessly. Just an observation, I have owned several old Land Cruisers but for a 20, 50...

Seriously want to see more of NOPECs trip! Thank you Do love the isolation of area. Camping beside Comox Glacier last week

That is a amazing trip again, and can't wait for your write up. Having canoed and aluminum skiffed parts of the lake, but only for a night or 2, can say you will have your part of GSL to yourself. And the fishing is great

Wow, thank you for sharing your story! Despite the ending, your trip is how we'd like to spend our retirement in a few years! We spend a ton of time in the north!

Quote: Sounds wonderful! Lifetime opportunity! Thrilling........ AGREED! I must guess that 4 wheels would be best. As a lifetime rider, have always found that it is only a small percentage of riders that are happy with long days riding, more so day after day. Have friends, neighbours, and...

As I camp beach side on the west coast of Vancouver Island as many days as possible each year, this is a concern also. I carry a sharp hatchet even backpacking to split long pieces of wood for stakes, or carve some branches, and have used 20-30 liter dry bags full of sand to ensure a stable...

Curious, do many people still use Avenza? What's new on converting maps? Any sharing platforms appear in the last few years? This post helped me when it was originally posted, I have ArcGIS for work and use that. Been collecting updated resource maps for BC and the Yukon, a number are not...

I have had a gaggle over the years, once you're accustomed it is no problem. Far less of an issues with vehicles with a high seat height. I prefer it for my offroad vehicles, you know exactly where you right wheel in cases of passing on narrow tracks. It is not so good to be RHD in a low slung...

Wow, haven't seen that model. Only recently have been looking at the Dyna, told recently they ride nice and some of the engine options are fantastic. For Canadian market, 15 years old, I've seen some hybrid models available, and I am not certain that would be ideal for a backroad camper. I do...

Which side of the 49th parallel are you located? This 2006 is destined for the port of Vancouver, Canada. It's only recently become an option for a build I'd consider.

Plus; Durability. During a night of strong winds ocean side, noticed buddy climbing out of his RTT at 3am. His XL Shiftpod had blown 200 yards into the bushes. It was scuffed but otherwise completely undamaged. It had been erected with anchors, but with the heavy rain the ground had softened...

Heard back, they are in Dawson city, and are both long time professional photographers not very active on social media; I didn't get any pictures out of em [emoji35]. Told it was horrible, as their wine bag froze in the truck. Sure they were just fine, I know in their house they have 1500 sq ft...

Been out with others in hardshell RTTs twice in those conditions, once in North Vancouver Island winds were gusting to 70 mph, and broke a shelter tent, with all its pegs and 4 lines tie down, loose and blew it a couple hundred meters into the bush. Friends on the exposed point and their James...

Certainly get more weather ability from a ground tent for less money. Many compact 4 season extreme weather tents cost the same as an entry level rtt

What is extreme? A friend is up in Tombstone territorial park in their James Baroud right now. - 47c according in Dawson City this morning. It's the Space model similar to the one sitting in my carport right now. They do have a diesel heater ducted into their tent. Sure I'll find out how there...

Can't believe a 05 can look so new underneath (Says the guy on Island)

Watched all episodes. [emoji106] Concern is, how would this type of construction hold up when much our travel is on broken and abandoned roads? Much of our travel is in the rain and occasionally salt water misting.

Group buy? I'm done enough fiberglass/epoxy layups to not want to go that route.

Another Canadian interested in learning what is available in Canada. Self building one myself would be great, currently options that interest us are priced such that we would have to sell land just to afford them! Would like to build on something small like such pictured
