Where I go there is often no signal to boost. I have a cell booster that I need to install, but it still leaves large dead zones. The table was only $120. It has proven to be worth the price for maps alone. It also works for watching movies/shows as well which is a bonus.

I have not figured out how to make it work on a PC without internet. At this point, I do not believe that it is possible. This was the primary reason that I decided to purchase a cheap tablet with GPS.

I just got back to CO from running this trail. It was fun. There will be some closures along the way, but they were all easy to get around using paved roads. A fair amount of the far West side was paved roads. Probably 60% of the final 60 miles. You will make good time on those. Be sure to time...

What are you driving?

Even Ben was a little unsure how aluminum would hold up. It turned out that it handles it quite well. At Cruise Moab this year he was testing aluminum sliders on his 200. They took some pretty good hits and just kept going. If you have questions I would recommend a call or email to him. He is a...

The new BFG KM3s come in that size if you want something more aggressive. I really wish that more companies were offering a better variety of tall and skinny tires. A 35x10.5 would be my preference. Kenda is the only company producing that size though.

Wheeling on Redcone Pass in CO this summer

Aren't they marketed as an AT?

This guy has battle tested his roof setup.

I will throw out there that Duratracs don't seem to have a strong sidewall. The previous owner of my vehicle had 2 sidewall failures with Duratracs. There have been MANY people at Hundreds in the Hills who have experienced sidewall failures as well. I am currently running Toyo ATIIs and I like...

They also have a forum, but I am unsure about rules with posting links to other forums. It is no where near as active as this forum, but it can be a good place to post if you need help with something locally.

I am in Denver. Rising Sun is one of the biggest Toyota off roading clubs in the country and is in Denver. They organize at least a day run a month. There are frequently single/multi night runs that you could join as well. You might look into coming out for Cruise Moab in the Spring. Your 80...
