    Trip to Alaska, what do I need to know

    Especially while boondocking along the way be fastidious with your food prep and storage. Anything that will attract bear. Also, be aware of the condition of sites you occupy. If others have used them and done a poor job of maintenance in the past, bears will search these areas for bonus calories.

    22R Toyota Owners Lend me your Ears

    Okay, I have located at least one candidate. Trying to organize a viewing of the rig this weekend hoping that it will fit the bill. It's a 1985 Toyota Dolphin 22R (the REs are rare). Sounds like there is some work to be done, but I'm not afraid of that. Mechanically however, the machine has to...

    High cost above $20000

    Yeah the problem you're going to encounter is that if you start cheap you'll inevitably get expensive. I bought my 03 Taco DC for about $14k and it was worth every penny. Add custom topper +$5,500 Add Autohome RTT +$5,000 Add suspension lift +$4,000 Add new AT tires +$1,250 See where this is...

    Anything I should do while I have my toilet torn apart?

    I cannot think of anything you should do, but I can think of one or two things you probably shouldn't do.

    22R Toyota Owners Lend me your Ears

    This boy is my second, so yeah, I know how they grow. Mom is away for probably about the next six months or so. Maybe more, maybe less. We just can't tell at this point. Right now I live on the western slope of Colorado (which is where I'm from originally). If we can find a rig that will work...

    22R Toyota Owners Lend me your Ears

    The guy downstairs from me is droning on and on, talking on the telephone, with FOX news blasting behind him. Even without that assbag in my life I think I'm ready for a change, but he's pushing me. If he wakes up my boy I'm going to have to punch him in the neck. ARGH! Here's the problem, I...

    22R Toyota Owners Lend me your Ears

    Howdy folks, Well here I am, sitting in a dumpy, old apartment that I pay too much for month-to-month. I have a three year old to keep in good standing, and I spend most of my time in this place trying to keep him quiet. We've tried going it for a while in my 2003 Toyota Tacoma for long periods...

    <br><br>The RTT sits almost 7.5" above the cab of the truck and about 3.5" above the top of the ARE MX topper. &nbsp;I still plan on installing a low profile roof rack over the cabin area as there is plenty of space there for it.<br><br>Hope that helps,<br><br>Sag

    Advantages and disadvantages Of different slide it in Campersh

    <br><br>You and I regularly fall into the same trap. &nbsp;Even if you get something that needs work, make sure you keep your trip as the primary goal of the endeavor. &nbsp;Don't end up wasting time tweaking and tuning the "perfect" ride while you could be riding.<br><br>2 cents ...

    Anyone use a SUV Tent?

    Awning does the same job without the fuss or hassle of the tent. &nbsp;I owned something like this for a vanagon. &nbsp;It meant that I had about 10 minutes of put up time when I got to camp. &nbsp;Then its not like you can drive away once its put up, so you're stuck there unless you want to...
