welcome! I have an ATC Bobcat on an 01 Tacoma, Deaver Springs, OME Front Coils, Bilsteins on all 4 corners. I like the setup and don't have any problems with it. We (wife, 9 year old son, and myself) have traveled all over the west in it and loved that fact that it could go places that some...

I think other members have made good observations. These campers do push the weight limits of our Taco's but as many have indicated if you are frugal with what you pack and you do the proper mods the setup does pretty good. My 01 Tacoma with a Bobcat does not feel overloaded......I do feel the...

I have an 01 V6 Tacoma TRD and did the following suspension mods. I had Deaver build me a custom leaf spring pack, I replaced the front coils with OME 881 or was it 882 coils? and I replaced all shocks with bilstein 5100's. I do have airbags but they are only used for leveling, I can run...

I was wondering what the next project was going to be. With you two involved I would imagine that the sky in the limit....can't wait to see what you have dreamed up. Cort

Most flatbeds have stake sides or fold down sides......with the options that flatbeds have these days I personally think they are way more versatile than a standard pickup box....they even make shells for flatbeds. Cort

Very clean 07 8' designed for a 6' box. $7K. I got some tin torn off the old Northstar and it is real ugly!!! Showed it to my wife and got the green light for a better camper!! if you are thinking new why not give ATC a call? They will answer the phone........ Cort Just wondering if...

more Mega Pixels does not necessarily mean better quality. As others have pointed at a certain point the increase in MP doesn't really mean anything. in my opinion what you really need to think about when it comes to digital DSLR's is the size of the sensor and the glass you are using. Barrel...

Great Video! looks like you guys had a great time out there. cort

ummmmmmmmm....I would think not. But that is just one opinion and you know what they say about opinions...they are just like #$#holes everyone has one. I think there are a few good designs out there and they are fairly easy to implement so why not do it yourself? Cort

Ted, I would go for the 60 lb'ers. If you position them correctly they will stay down no problem....there is a break over point (Marty has this one nailed down) on the struts...once you are there they exert very little lifting force. As far as getting it lowered initially, I installed a pull...

Ted, I think a good combination would be to have the factory psuedo "basket" installed in the back and then do the Yakima racks in front of that. That would allow you to have some basket items, chairs, tubs etc in the back that are easy to access from the wall steps and then have the Yakima...

That's it Ski, using your story telling skills and photos, you should do a pop-up book. Patrick, you're a genius. :D yeah what Ted said! I want a book or three :) cort

Get the standard incandescence fixtures as Lighthawk suggests and replace the blubs with LED. I wouldn't pay extra. yep I totally agree Cort

I am getting some PIAA driving lights installed in it too. Some how I want to hook them up to my high beam switch so they come on only when I use the high beams. Well that is easy enough to do, that is how I have mine hooked up. You should think about a manual override as well. Cort

Way back in March 1856 using triangulation and what would be considered huge and very crude instruments by today's standards and from distances of over 120 miles away Mr. Everest was measured at 29,002 ft (8,839.8 m). They were off by 33 feet. Nowadays an error of 10 to 20 meters is not unusual...

When I called I had no problem getting a hold of the woman handling the recall. When she told me that there was not going to be a fix for sometime I went down to my local marine supplier and bought the one that they had. It was old enough that it was not on the recall list. When I was down...

you two are the queen and king of getting out there. Thanks for sharing another great report. Congrats, Cort

Man sounds like fun however I'm out in Flaming Gorge Utah working on the Green River. Hope you enjoy you new rig and that you have a good shakedown trip. Cort

I was up there last fall before the WTW Pork Rally and the lower part of the road has not been graded in some time. All of the corners including the switchbacks had been heavily contoured by motorcycles and ATV's. I had no problem in my Tacoma DBL Cab and Bobcat but I did come across a couple...

yep that would be it.....wow those trucks sure do look familiar :D . A combo of the Modoc map and the Delorme will be just fine. If you have a chance check out the obsidian needles mine. There will definitely be folks up there mining the needles. When we were there one of the old timers was...

I should also add that I highly recommend the Lake City Rd. When we did it at the rally I remember there being several extremely beautiful spots just on the east side of the divide that would work for primitive camping. Plus you could take FR30 all the way there. Just some food for thought, Cort

Assuming we are on the same page...."Central Warners" I take this to mean north of Alturas and south of 140. Take CR 133C or CR 47 at the junction of these two roads continue on toward Lassen Cr Campground (FR 30). When you get to the junction that is signed for Lassen Cr Campground continue...

This was before all the fallen trees

Pot of water and a press pot. Takes about 10 minutes and makes awesome coffee. Keep it simple. Cort

If you can work in Whitehorse Ranch Rd I would Highly recommend it. It is very well maintained and has great views of the Steens. Willow Cr Hot Springs is a good stop and if its busy at the springs you can continue down the road a bit to some nice spots on the creek. Cort
