Photo bucket for our trip through Oregon, Idaho and Montana 2011

Ski, That is impressive mileage.....Ford certainly did something good with that V6...but then again Toyota has never been known for good gas mileage when it comes to trucks....well at least not the ones we have available to us in the states. Cort

We recently completed a trip through California, Oregon and Idaho and tracked our mileage very carefully. Some background..... Truck is a 2001 Tacoma (130,000 + miles), Extra Cab, V6, Warn Bumper, 235/85/R16 KM2 Mud Terrains, OME Front Coils, Deaver Custom 10-Pack Leafs in the Rear, and...

yeah let us know when it is ready. I took lots of pics of campgrounds on our recent trip through Oregon, Idaho, and Montana Cort

Lucky Dog.....but seriously now you don't have to sneak all of our trash and bottles into Marc's XP.......can't wait to check it out. Cheers, Cort

Make sure you check the S/N if you buy a Newmar unit (see my previous post). My Newmar unit was only $20.00 more than the Sure Power. My suggestion is to check Marine suppliers...especially smaller outfits as they are less likely to have lots of turn over on these units so the chances that...

I was wondering if you ever got that done. I am still loving mine. I would say that my only complaint is that get a bit squeaky......but when I clean them it goes away. Cort

Okay sorry for all the updates guys but I just found this unit: A local supplier had a Newmar BI-100 (PN 490-4345) This is a repackaged Surepower unit and they call it a battery integrator not a battery separator. On the outside of the Newmar box I found these numbers 1315NM, which matches...

So I just got off the phone with Sure Power. No replacements available until September....doesn't help much when you are leaving in a few days. I requested a refund, which for my model is $80.00. Does anyone have any ideas on another brand that I can get fairly rapidly? Cort

Yep I have one as well. And wouldn't you know that I am leaving for an extended trip on Friday. Cort

what is all this talk about bottles and cans ? Beer comes from Kegs.....or at least it does in the state of Jeferson.

What does a custom set of springs run ball park? $1,000 installed so for the spring pack on its own...about $800 Cort

No problem guys. I should take the time and put together a few *.kmz files for the places that we escape to on the weekends up here. There is lots of good exploring to be had in the Six River and Klamath National Forests. Sometimes it takes others to remind me about all the good stuff around...

Congrats!

Well I would definitely check out Shelter Cove and the surrounding areas. Kings Peak road is a good drive. There is not much primitive camping on the immediate coast so you will have to stick to the campgrounds. Gold Bluffs beach should not be missed. Once you are up around the Orick area...

Anyone familiar with either of these routes? Morrison Jeep Trail Goose Creek Jeep Trail Both of them get way out into the Beartooth mountains and they look like they have great potential for fishing and camping Cort

Looking good. Quite an accomplishment!

Smart move and you won't regret it. I love my set of Deavers Cort

Sounds good Barko...as things get closer I will try an figure out where we will be. I know for sure that we will be in the Bear Tooth's on the 27th through....... Does anyone have some insight to the Bear Tooths? I have never been there and would love to learn about some out of the way...

Well we will be leaving July 16th from McKinleyville, CA. We will be heading out Hwy 299 to Alturas where we will hook up with 395. Probably spend our first night in the Warners before making our way toward Boise. Depending on temps we may make a stop at the Steens. From there we are going...

don't mess around with the bags...save yourself the trouble and just get the springs. National or Deaver or others can hook you up just fine. Nothing to break or inflate. I guess I should admit I still do have my bags but I only use them for load leveling and ride perfection but they are...

Having lived on the North Coast for over 15 years I can tell you that fall can be one of the best times of the year in terms of weather....but its still a crap shoot. It could be sunny for a few days and then start pouring the next. I wouldn't let the weather discourage you.....some of the...

Great Pics and it sounds like you had a good time. I did it last year and stayed at White Crack and I am already thinking about another run at it. Let us know when you are going Mike. Some Images from around White Crack Camp Cheers, Cort
