@Pip, I was just back in your area in August. I make an annual pilgrimage back to MT, WY, and ID to fly fish. I didn't hit the Madison this year, but have spent many days in the past stripping streamers with the guys from Slide Inn. This year I fished the Snake in GTNP, the Jefferson, and the...

@IronJackWhitton, thanks for the tips. I am definitely of the "only Craftsman" generation. I'll check out some of the other options. Pawn shops are another good place to look for used tools.

New to Overland Bound. 2018 TRD Pro...straight off the dealer lot for now. First project is to replace the silly steps that I'm amazed haven't ripped off already. It's my daily driver, so nothing overly ambitious planned for a while.

Thanks, Kent. I'll keep an eye out for local meet ups. I work in Pleasanton, so Tri-valley or East Bay are perfect.

Looks like this is the place to begin. Bill from Oakland (home) and Bear Valley (cabin), CA. 2018 4Runner, TRD Pro...stock for now, but getting lots of rig envy looking through the posts here. I'm new to the world of overlanding, but come with a history of backpacking, XC skiing, mountain...
