    Help! Do I need a truck?

    Wow! Must be a Canada thing, the high used vehicle prices! Right now, many items for sale, be it homes, property, vehicles, are still in the "honeymoon" phase of pre-pandemic high prices. It is going to be about 3-6 months before the prices adjust to where they need to be. Once these greedy...

    How has the Covid-19 virus affected your adventures?

    Prob not much longer than that, though. My son's basketball just started back up this weekend, and Seattle has begun opening things up also.

    How has the Covid-19 virus affected your adventures?

    The last thing I do when on public lands is get all up in other people's personal space, which out in the open is probably way more than 6 feet! I think even 12 feet would feel too "close" to other people out in the boonies.

    People who read the law verbatim are not "idiots". The people who wrote the law are. You are literally supposed to read a law verbatim, not between the lines or for implied intent. I get what you mean though, there's a minority of people who continue to be generally stupid, and it is up to the...

    Yes, I saw the same thing, they use 2018 or 2019, depending on which was most recent you filed.

    How has the Covid-19 virus affected your adventures?

    The whole campground reservation system thing is what got us started into boondocking-style, or primitive camping. I wouldn't doubt that the reservation systems will be utterly slammed with people trying to "get out" and/or recoup the funds from their cancelled reservations. Also wouldn't be...

    How has the Covid-19 virus affected your adventures?

    Don't hold me to it, I don't do our family finances, but my wife said our income is too high. I believe that is based on 2018 IRS filings. I don't mind, we don't need any money. I just get very aggravated about taxes in general. I have seen them go up significantly in the past 20 years. Mostly...

    How has the Covid-19 virus affected your adventures?

    I've heard the Wrangler (the only Jeep I'd consider) is getting up to $13K reductions (prob from the most expensive versions) I would LOVE to own a 2dr Wrangler Rubicon as a "toy"! But, alas, we don't qualify for the stimulus. I am sure we will "qualify" for the taxes to pay back the stimulus...

    There's gonna be some good deals to be had. However, if you have the means, you may want to consider purchasing now as I believe everyone's production is halted. If you are into Jeeps I have heard the discounts are significant. I've been mulling it over.......

    Love that front bumper and skid plate, does that Camburg skid tie into the OEM Tundra skid plate?

    How has the Covid-19 virus affected your adventures?

    I'm a government employee myself. Unfortunately, I get to see this from the inside. However, I think taxpayers have a clear cut right to demand money back in this case. I feel like our school districts have been feeding "disadvantaged" children under the guise of "compassion" really as a way to...

    How has the Covid-19 virus affected your adventures?

    The REAL question on my mind, are they going to refund an appropriate portion of our taxes since they've disallowed the use of services we are paying for? Just bought something online last night, realized the sales tax is approaching 11% for my city. When I moved here in 2012 it was 8.8% And...

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    Well my 12 y/o son has had it way too easy with school out, so I decided to put him to work! I had him install the new skid plate on our truck, I think I am going to have him do more stuff from now on.

    Best tire for daily use?

    Yup, M/T + dry-rot = scary times in the winter

    Best tire for daily use?

    Didn't know that. The KO2's on my truck are 3Peak rated, they do very well in foul weather. My Toyo M/T's were kinda scary in foul weather, but at that point they were dry-rotted and cracking, so I doubt they would be so bad when new. The Toyo's lasted so long and the tread looked so good after...

    Best tire for daily use?

    I think it is very wise to be "picky" about the tires we have on our vehicles. Since most of our vehicles sit higher, on taller tires than a passenger car, the risk of having a cheaply made tire blow-out while at highway speeds is too much for me. I believe in the past, there have been tires...
