    In-cab gear storage

    In my case, I bought my truck with a tonneau cover and switched to a diamond deck toolbox. From there I went to a cap.

    In-cab gear storage

    Now and then stuff creeps into my cab and I have to do a purge. It sucks, because I always want everything "right where I can get at it"

    Looking for alpine lake for my old crippled dog to swim in

    Wow! Thanks for the lake names! I'll store them away and next time I'm out that way I'll see if I can get there! Sorry to hear you lost you job but good to hear you got another one

    In-cab gear storage

    I have a partial solution for you. Go watch some 50mph crash test videos and see how fast a coffee can will come out of a bin in the back seat and crack a melon in the front seat. Or the whole bin, for that matter. Even the soft stuff can get in the way of your vision in the event of a spin out...

    Looking for alpine lake for my old crippled dog to swim in

    Where is the one pictured here? Just dipped into northeastern Colorado a couple weeks ago. Maybe if I'm out that way again (or further west again) I can get there. Looks nice

    Looking to start overlanding. Can I do it with my new SR5?

    Wow. Happy I could help. I found this type of info by digging on Silverado/Sierra/GMTruckclub type forums. I wanted to know what all comprised the Z71 package. I KNEW my 1990 was more level with knobby-er tires than my 2014, so I dug into the RPO codes and thier meanings. I wanted to know what...

    Looking to start overlanding. Can I do it with my new SR5?

    I always look to buy my GM trucks with the z71 package. But now I need to remove the chin strap and get more aggressive tires, or even level up the front.

    Looking to start overlanding. Can I do it with my new SR5?

    I think that to date, a lot of American "off road" packages have been marketed around a little bit tougher trail riding or desert running (even while not being really good at it) while not treating Overlanding as "a thing" . Jeep Grand Cherokee has always had an Overland package which was only...

    Looking to start overlanding. Can I do it with my new SR5?

    The reason the SR5 has better cargo weight capacity is because the TRD is more tuned in to off roading. That means that while it may sit higher, the suspension is also probably softer, to help cushion and articulate over bumps, mounds and obstacles. That might seem counter intuitive but Being...

    Will somebody please tell me...WHAT kind of a world do we live in...when Texas freezes over and Boston is 95 degrees? (...or, when a man dressed up like a BAT, is taking all of my press?!)

    Introducing Beginner Q&A

    But if those stickies are of frequent asked questions and if they are properly addressed, should they be gotten rid of, or should newer people be trying to search more? By the way, the app look good there

    We are in the middle of a little heat wave in Boston right now. 94 and humid today. I have turned on the house fan, but not the AC yet. We spend all winter complaining about the cold, I just want to make sure we can appreciate the warmth for a little while before complaining about that, too, ha...

    Orienteering by hand?

    Granted I've only been casually hiking the Whites, Adirondacks and Berkshires and camping for the last 35 years. And I dont mean that as a wise guy. You are right. I am not a pro. It's all been very casual. I may not be professional enough for you, @old_man. Maybe this guy is...

    Orienteering by hand?

    Oh. Ok @old_man. I highly doubt a surveyor ever relied on this low level of equipment. Meaning this is not professional grade, it's less than $40, and I am not a professional. I'm sure as a surveyor, you relied on professional transits, costing several hundred dollars or more. You never saw...

    Orienteering by hand?

    Unfortunately it gets a little worse. I unboxed the SECOND Brunton TruArc 5 just a moment ago. I thought, hey, if this one doesnt have a bubble, I can use it. Well, when I unboxed it, there was no lanyard. I dont know what is going on over at the Brunton factory, but the quality and attention...

    The first two are in the Big Sky/Gallatin area. The 3rd one is in Yellowstone, somewhere between Mammoth Hot Springs and Old Faithful
