    Trailworthy/Sleep inside?

    Current generation 4 Runner! Back in 2016, I rented one for a Cannonball-esque run from New England to Florida and back in the same weekend. Reclining the seats was "good enough" and I'm sure folding the rear seats down and with a decent air mattress, I'm sure it would have been fine

    2004 Tahoe Z71

    Ah, yes! I had both a 94 and a 93 k1500 and someday, by the powers that be, shall I have one again! The last one was donated to Kars for Kids on account of the frame cracking on either side of the fuel tank. Chevy may be selling a reasonable amount of these new Nissan Muranos they call...

    2004 Tahoe Z71

    Aside from my own truck or a 70's or 90's big Blazer, I would probably get one of these or the 07-13s. Big fan

    2004 Tahoe Z71

    Very nice Tahoe all the way around. I'm a big fan of the K5 Blazers from the 70s and 80s, and the k1500 big Blazers from the early 90s. These Tahoes are the closest thing to them, so I'm a big fan. Following

    Solar Gear Discussion

    One of two standard ways to install a second battery. I have the tray in the engine compartment of my Sierra. I got a second battery and am in the process of gathering all the cables and connectors, as well as the GM multi-purpose relay, so I can actually install it all. But some other things...

    Solar Gear Discussion

    I was looking at the GoalZero and saw the Jackery. I have a number of cig lighter style, USB, and house plugs in my truck, but as was mentioned, I really have to be running to charge well. I may go with a smaller unit, since I can still rely on the truck engine to help charge the power pack

    Hey, Argyle! Welcome. We are at a disadvantage, those of us in the Boston area. But there are good places to go if we are willing to drive, and this is a great resource

    Pretty sad :-(

    I'm in IT. Windows 10 says "Hi" to me every time I build a new machine. I'm not sure i like that. Because if the resurgence in COVID numbers, we are going back to a skeleton crew at work. They said "you gonna be ok to work via remote again?" I said " I'm in IT. When im in my office, I remote to...

    Off-Road Friendly Clothing Companies?

    Oboz hiking boots. (stands for "Outside of Bozeman") I have the Bridger model, full leather, waterproof. They also have a more breathable leather & mesh version. Damn great hiking boots. Feels like BF Goodrich All Terrains on my feet. Best adjustable heel box that I personally have found...

    What's your latest camping gear purchase, and what caused you to buy it?

    UCO also happens to make a really good, thick plastic double sided fork/spoon with holes in the handle to lash them to the inside of your pack.

    What's your latest camping gear purchase, and what caused you to buy it?

    At one point a few years ago I was trying to get ahold of a Coleman Peak1 multi fuel stove, complete with metal case that doubled as pots. I'll find one again someday. I loked the idea of having choices. Meanwhile I just use either a Primus Classic Trail butane stove or a Peak1 single burner...

    All in One Comms

    Conversely, the same jackasses have been running thier mouths on CB Channel 6 (the Superbowl of channels) for years and all that seems to change are the players. I do have a CB in my Sierra because I like it. It has come in handy from time to time, and I prefer one with weather because then I...

    Newbie trying to get started...

    The armor/skid plates/bash plates also wont likely void any warranty like a lift kit might. So, armor, possibly just larger tires, but not so large that they reduce articulation by too much, might raise you half inch to an inch while also hardening the underside. I've heard that Tacoma is a...

    Bronco? Tundra? Other? HELP!!!

    I Back in 2016, I rented a 4runner and drove it from New England Town to Apopka Florida and back in a weekend. I will say that I am a huge fan of this current generation 4Runner, and would buy one in a heartbeat. I can see why it has been produced for a solid decade. People (snobby automotive...

    Bronco? Tundra? Other? HELP!!!

    If you want NEW new, then there are a lot of options, as everyone has me tioned. If it doesnt have to be brand new, I would at least take a look at any 2013 Tahoe z71 that was in excellent shape. Or maybe a new one?

    Plates and bowls, let's overthink this together

    Yeah I use the blue, speckled enamel plates, bowls and cups along with UCO 3-in-1 sporks. As for covers, regular seran wrap or those silicone bowl covers usually do. Also, when heating my water for the Mountain House meals, I simply use an old military canteen cup. For coffee, a green...

    Cheap vs inexpensive

    I spend hours scanning Craigslist for older Craftsman, S-K, or Snap on tools. I would buy those used ones before any of the new stuff.
