Guest, UPDATE We went through the site migration runbook and completed all steps. We will need to complete the migration next week, but will leave the forums up for the weekend. A few days after maintenance, a major upgrade revision to the forum site will occur.
Research Glacial Lake Missoula and the ice age floods before you come, absolutely fascinating seeing some of the scale of the features it left. Here's a couple shots of Moses Coulee when I was coming back from a work trip on Highway 2 last winter.
I was north of Almira WA today working on a school bus. Eastern WA is beautiful in the spring. I snapped a picture of a very old barn, the bus supervisor with me said his family used to run cows out of it.
I'd be looking at eastern OR and WA for April. Should be decent weather and stuff will be green unlike summer. Some of the higer elevation backroads might be snowed in still but the main roads will be fine. If you like geology and lava you'll be in paradise.
I've installed TruTracs in a few customer's rigs, they are probably the best all around non selectable lockers and work awesome in daily drivers. That picture of the Toyota 3 liter brings back memories, I made a lot of money doing head gaskets on those back in the day.
I got the paper maps and GPS for WY, ID, and the Pacific spur last week from Sam. The paper map says Yellowstone Park is 100 miles north of where the TAT crosses the ID/WY border. Still working on figuring out the GPS on Gaia as I'm new to it. Hopefully I can tag along for the WY, ID, and...
I'm over in Post Falls and have worked on 80s and 90s Toyota rigs quite a bit. As said check your grounds and also your power connections. Does your 4runner have a tach? Is it showing any RPM when cranking? Have you checked spark?
Bring a beanie and a set of warmer clothes just in case. It can snow any month of the year in Yellowstone and Glacier and will most likely be cooler than you are used too.
Sweet, thanks for sharing. I'm over on the zone too and followed your build. Want to see some more close ups of your winch bumper. For hauling M715s on trailers try running a small ratchet strap across the front of the hood from frame rail to frame rail, it helps keep the hood very secure.
Got a question. Once you do get the gps tracks and the departure date set do you think you will have a better idea of when you will be doing certain portions of the TAT? I think 2021 will the year I start doing electronic maps and gps magic.
Every time I have driven the highline to and from work in ND I see the sign for Bearpaw and think how close they were to Canada and making it to freedom.
I just ordered the Pacific Spur, WY, and ID maps from Sam. I actually spent some time working down near Baggs WY the winter and spring of 2019 and have probably driven a small part of the TAT in a Ram 5500 service truck for work.
Yeah the drive out in the flatty would be long, if you do take it definitely try to take 2 lane highways. I'm definitely interested in the WY section and west if 2021 is better than 2020.
