    New Inuvik-Tuktoyaktuk Highway

    My Wife and I will be heading north for the last 3 weeks in June. I've wanted to travel to, and experience the northern part of my Country for as long as I can remember. We've been planning this trip for a couple years now, and now we are finally getting close to departure time. We will be...

    Tundra Bumpers

    Hey. Not yet. We're in the dead of winter still. Should clear up, and warm up, enough in a month. Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk

    Going Off Brand...

    I always try to consider the "trendiness factor" when making my purchases as well. Factor that against the name brand vs no-name brand. For instance, IMO the world was built using $30 shovels, people have been wheeling for decades all over the world using $30 shovels, a $30 shovel has never let...

    Topper Shell vs. Pop-up Truck camper

    I guess it depends on where you see yourself going, how long you want to be out in the wilderness, what level of comfort and convenience you want/need, and what is your budget. A truck canopy and a pop up off road truck camper are really completely different things. We just took possession of...

    Ever Heard of Rick Steve's?

    We hiked the trail to Vernazza about 8 years ago. Best damn salad I've ever eaten in my life was consumed at the patio restaurant in the bay there.

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    After a 5 month wait we were finally able to bring this new addition to the Tundra home.

    What do you consider a "trail?"

    Ha. I'm 48 and my typing skills are terrible, so I've learned these youngin's lingo out of necessity. Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk

    Toyota Tundra Registry

    Last June I decided to go full-size and haven't looked back since. We sold our much-loved and much-used fully kitted out Xterra and I bought a2014 lease return Tundra TRD with 65K Km on it. I've since replaced all the suspension components with ADS shocks, MCM Fab uca's, OME Dakar leaf packs...

    What do you consider a "trail?"

    IMHO, if it's plowed or graded it's a road (ie: forest service road) if not.....it's a trail. I enjoy both equally.

    Alaska Highway

    Google Thunder shirt, or dog Thunder shirt/jacket. They are snug dog shirts that help dogs deal with anxiety. Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk

    Alaska Highway

    We find that keeping our one dog (an anxious Catahoula) in a small restricted space, or even cage when crossing a border or travelling seems to help maintain his calm. We've also had friends who have had good success with the Thunder jackets on anxious dogs. Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk

    Snow much fun

    A little snow wheeling up into the hills to go snowshoeing with the dogs today. That is our old Xterra parked beside the Tundra, our good friends bought it and continue to wheel her as she deserves. Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk

    Tundra Bumpers

    So I was able to get the bumper setup in the garage. I wound the line on just to have it ready for installation (I'll unwind it and tension it back on properly once installed). Winter has hit here with a vengeance so I may have to wait until spring to bolt it pt the truck now. Sent from my...

    Alaska Highway

    +1 on ordering The Milepost. I bought the 2017 version as we are heading North in July and I wanted to read through it over the winter. To say it is a detailed piece of work would be an understatement. It is like the Bible of the North, and worth every penny so far as I can see.

    Alasaka Bound

    My Wife and I (and the two dogs ) will heading North to Tuk in July. I've lived in BC for 99% of my life and so far have never been further North than Prince George. It seems a little disrespectful to my own homeland (a little) that we always seem to travel south for our adventures. I've been...

    Tires...my achilles heel...

    Another Ridge Grappler fan-boy here as well. Brilliant on-road manners, nice and quiet. Seem to handle the off-road stuff equally as well (or better) than my old KO2's. I can't comment on their overall longevity yet, but they do have a good chunky off-road look to them if that matters.

    British Columbia Meetup/Rally

    Turnoff the main Kettle Valley fsr here (see picture w/co-ordinates). This will take you to Nevertouch Lake, and continue on to meet the 201 (some older mapping does not show the road connection from Nevertouch to the 201, but it does)

    British Columbia Meetup/Rally

    I took the Christian Valley Road up and found a fsr that took me right past Nevertouch Lake (can't recall the name, but I'll look for it) I did not go all the way up Christian Valley until the 201. When I left Nevertouch Lake I just continued on that fsr and it connected up to the 201. I think...

    British Columbia Meetup/Rally

    I spent a night up at Nevertouch Lake last November. You can access it via the #201 or from the Christian Valley. The #201 will be plowed, but I'm not sure if the connecting roads will be driveable in January. It's a beauty spot to camp. I did it as a round trip from Penticton. I went north up...

    Okanagan ob members?

    I did a weekended last year, started at Rock Creek went up the Christian Valley for a ways, stayed the night at a nice lake behind Big White, then found the 201 and followed it all the way back to Okanagan Falls. We've also found some nice trails up behind Peachland, camped at Macdonald Lake...
