    Suggestions for a long trip --- What would you bring?

    Nothing to add other than to say you will probably need less than you think. We will also be tooling around Baja for Christmas and New Years, enjoy your trip!

    Ventura County Fires

    I had both my mother/father in law and brother/sister in law arrive at my house at 1:30 this morning. Their homes are ok for the time being but fires are very close and they are under mandatory evacuation. One coworker has lost his home, several friends' homes fate are unknown at this time. 15...

    1st gen Tundra tell me about your shocks and suspension.

    Andy, I think Gene Rubin made a post about that warranty a couple of years ago too. Rancho may have that same clause but my 4x4 guy has a good relationship with them so I've had no problems with free replacements.

    Death Valley Gas Prices - November 2017

    And to think I just carried an extra 5 gallons that I paid $3.13/gallon for at home specifically to avoid filling up there. Good to know, I never even checked the price when we stopped there.

    1st gen Tundra tell me about your shocks and suspension.

    Valid point. My kings have well over 30k now and are still solid, my 4x4 guy said parts are ~$7.00 for rebuild, not sure what he will charge me for the work when the time comes, but he will do it locally so no shipping hassle or major down time.

    Chainsaw and FWC

    We were visiting a friend in Australia last year and while on a 2 week trek around Queensland in his Troopy I noticed he had a battery powered skil saw (he's a carpenter by trade) in his kit. I kind of thought what a waste of space initially, but damned if we didn't use the heck out of that...

    1st gen Tundra tell me about your shocks and suspension.

    I've ran Rancho RS9000s on my 2006 Tundra for the better part of 10 years along with Firestone RideRight air bags. i would typically blow the fronts out every one or two years depending on how many washboard miles I drove ( and how fast!). The Shocks are warrantied for life (as are Bilsteins I...

    Ha! Looks like we were sniffing around in the same canyon. A bit surprised to see someone was there after us on the same day. What day was your pic taken? We almost meet again.

    You'll be fine. Full sized campers have done it though I couldn't imagine trying that.

    Sea to Summit

    Timely. I was recently gifted a set of their bowls for my birthday, quality stuff. Should work nicely this winter when I no longer need to use my ice cold metal bowls for morning oatmeal.

    Temporary Kayak Rack

    Maybe replace the 2x4s with swim noodles? You could probably pull this concept off once if you're not off-roading.

    "Cleanliness is next to Godliness"

    Gets worse and worse every year, and sadly, I expect it to get worse and worse as more and more people "recreate" in nature. Maybe someday people will learn.

    Horror Stories

    This happened on a recent trip to Saline Valley. I had a friend tagging along who happens to have a FWC and solid truck but had recently bought his wife a Jeep Wrangler Rubicon and wanted to get the thing dirty and test its off road capabilities. We figured I could leave my truck at the springs...
