Wait... "Matt" is Tom? ::scratcheshead:: Yea, the search is screwy, so I'm happy I could help. If you use a three-letter search word, it says it is too common and wont search. Same with other, longer common words. I've found that if I do an advanced search, and tick the "search for word in...

Here's some additional discussion: Axes

Me, September, 1993, Mount Rainier National Park, somewhere on the Wonderland Trail.

Primarily, I use: Nikon D750 Full Frame dSLR body Nikkor AF-S24-120mm f/4G ED VR Tamron SP 15-30mm f/2.8 Di VC USD Tamron SP 150-600mm f/5-6.3 Di VC USA Nikon SB-800 Speedlight Various tripods, monopods, etc. I also have (but rarely use any more): Nikon F4s film body w/MB-20 and MB21 motor...

Smith Rock State Park, north of Bend Mt Hood area Columbia River Gorge If you're a track fan, you have to stop at Tracktown, USA in Eugene to see where Steve Prefontaine ran (daughter is a runner) and go to Voodoo Donuts without the crowds at the one in Portland. And as noted above...

I put together a very basic recovery kit. Cheap insurance if we need a tug, or if we can help someone else out of a jam.

As @NorCalCrisp started, there are a lot of us here who are adventurers similar to you rather than rock climbers and serious off-roaders. A lot of us would fit into the "softroader" category. We've got Kia Soul's with mild lifts and racks, my old Subaru was nearly stock, and we have a mildly...

Hi Daniel, and welcome! There's more to the rally that driving up the mountain. I have no experience driving, and don't want to damage my new vehicle 2500 miles from home. I've had more than one offer to ride up with other folks, and I'm sure that you'd be welcome to ride with someone if...

Here's a previous discussion on Rotopax, and most of the way down the first page, you'll find my take on them vs. Waterbricks. I went with the substantially lower priced option. http://overlandbound.com/forums/threads/rotopax-fuel-water-cans.646/

Good idea!

If we go the the OTG Rally, we will be heading down from Seattle. We'll be arriving in Seattle on 9/18 (my 63rd birthday) and drop our daughter off at Seattle Pacific University on the 19th. We'll probably meander south, though, and stay in motels between. At this point, I'm still seriously...

@expeditionnorth and @KD7WCD I could put it in the middle of the roof, but it would be sticking up between the bars of the roof rack. Would that be horrible? Right now, I'm trying it with it between the basket bars at the very rear of the roof. I'm just temporarily testing it stationary in the...

Strange that they changed it within the same generation.

I was in on a group buy over on t4r.org, and was the 4th person to jump on. I got mine without finish, so once the orders started shipping, mine was in the first batch. About two weeks after the group buy closed and they started making sliders, mine arrived at my local powder coating business...

Mine's plastic. Yours is steel on the 2014?

I don't know yet. If I was going to mount it at the rear, I'd have come in through the hatch. Up front, probably through the door seal of the least-used door. It won't be a permanent mount; only during traveling. The last time I had a CB in a vehicle, it was in a 1969 FIAT 124 Wagon, and the...

During Amazon's Prime Day sale, I picked up a Midland 75-822 CB and a Wilson Lil Wil magnetic antenna. My 4Runner has a roof basket and sunroof. The basket extends from as far back as I can go without hitting the lifgtgate to just overhanging the sunroof. That leaves the area of the roof in...
