congrats on your first complete hunt. as Ted Nugent says respect is everything when it comes to taking a animal. its part of lifes cycle,even in this age age of extreme p.c. your remarks bring back to me memories of my first deer. no regerts even though i no longer desire to hunt. thanks...

food for thought. we ordered a 2012 3500 4x4 chevy with 3.73 ratio.(gasser 6.0) rig weight as driven from factory (state weight ticket) 8,700 lbs factory gvw is 10,700 lbs. we now have 9000+miles on it since april 6 speed auto with manual/tow mode. we towed our toyota from factory (so...

Though the techs read to me on the phone that the 5100 is "not approved for other than light off-road use", I can not find that info anywhere on the Bilstein site. Even the owner's manual for the shock does not state this. In looking how to send these two blown shocks in for "lifetime warranty"...

i shopped local dealers and it ended up being cheaper to special order! That is a shocker. I always assumed it would be more expensive, I'm going with a 2012 to save a bit though so this might not be an option although sitting down and re-pricing a 2013 might be an option manual windows manual...

as much as i liked our toyotas,if i was to go back to a pop up camper i would do as i did when i ordered my truck for my tiger build. truck was ordered and equipted as i wanted it not as the dealer ordered. 2012 chevy work truck chassiss 3500 (1 ton) bucket seats 4x4 manual transfer case...

When we had our tacoma the first thing i did was to remove the factory mud flaps(they are not real mud flaps,but hard plastic crap) they will break the first time you back into or drop off a rock shelf . solution ? simple, buy a large mud flap at a truck stop,you can then cut into four...

Mark; you might try a bike inner tube,just place it between truck and camper then inflate worked for me all the time we had 4 wheel pop up. Les,lqhikers

Mark; glad you have not given up on taking your cat on your travels. "bella" is now on her 5th year with us and always with us on all of our travels. i do have to admit she is more comfortable in our tiger than in the 4w pop up. when we start to load for a trip i put her food dish (dry food)...

Craig333. you took that right off my campfire topic! Les,lqhikers

I wrote an article/trip report for Truck Camper Magazine, my 3rd. I wanted to share it with you all. Frank http://www.truckcampermagazine.com/frank-ross:-a-journey-back-in-time/ Frank , thanks for a great trip report you covered some of our all time best areas to...

Stan ,how did you know we had a astro van? i do not remember ever writing about it. but i do know that it took use many places with no trouble,maybe it was the positraction rear end that kept us out of trouble! thanks for the memories Les,lqhikers

Nice That will be a better truck for off road exploring, compared to the Chevy Astro Van 2x4 they used many years ago. I like it ! :) .

thought i would put the word out that if you see us on the back roads stop and say hi. we will be leaving in about 2 weeks covering the backroads of Nevada,Idaho,and possibly oregon. so if you see a chevy tiger 4x4 with a dual sport motorcycle on the back it will be us. we will be driving...

the tiger has 4x4 with manual transfer case,no power windows etc,work truck chassis. as far as inside pictures i would suggest going to Provan web site as they have some great pictures of the bengal tiger,much better than i could ever take,let alone get posted! i also have posted a lot more...

our new tiger, picked up at factory,now home in the desert. Les,lqhikers

curious,why a 6" lift on a road/backroad truck? its hard to see the benefit. as i see it you still have the same clearance under axles,etc. air bags are great for what they are designed for,heavy loads/lite loads. just curious. drive slow and enjoy "its the journey" les,lqhikers

H.D.; north west in the park-higher elev,cooler and cold in winter,blair valley area cooler south west . it is all obvious once you arrive in Borrego. the park head quarters has a huge amount of books,maps,information,and very knowledgeable volunteers who know a lot about the out of way...

Mark: the differance between the rv snowbirds in the quartzite and slab city is that people keep the quartzite area super clean where as the slab city area has a lot of slobs no other way to say it. a lot of the area is really trashed,but still worth a trip at least to see salvation mountain...

H.D., they do not charge entrance fee to borrego state park anymore,a few years ago they tried it but stopped as it was not cost effective. for shopping it is about 75 miles to indio,la quinta area which has all the big box stores, and most likely the best prices,also el centro is about the...

welcome to wtw henry david. Borrego state park,you named the warmest spot to snowbird in. we lived in borrego springs(town in center of park) and it is in our opinion the best spot to spend the winter. you are right you can camp anywhere as long as it is near a road trail etc. as there are a...

I'm so happy to say this will be my last post this month. Why? you ask -----well we leave in the am to head east to take delivery of our new Tiger. Placed the order Jan 18,pick up April 18.just as promised. This is going to be one time it will be hard to "drive slow and enjoy " Les,lqhikers :D

Before you settle on any kayak make sure you try what ever model you are looking at ,most (good dealers) will let you try first,if not find another dealer. In my opinion for fishing,if you are going to be doing any trolling such as lake trout salmon ,etc you can not beat a Hobie mirage,once...

Not to rain on the party ----but,how many are honest even if they do not post. example, couple of years ago i posted a april's fool post giving away a engle frig,(or something ) had a response right away from a new member the same day,of course he had joined the same day,never posted again...

Back a few years the wife and myself spent 6 months in Australia. started out in Sydney,New South Wales and traveled up the coast to Cooktown. Then back down inland. Did it self contained on bicycle's,one of the best trips we have ever done by any means. If we did it again we would do what we...

Jay; I will try and not stray to far off topic-----but i realize it is just or more than likely more dangerous on this side of the border. We have had plenty of encounters over the years right here in the states even had someone shoot our truck while camping! ----but when we are out and about...
