Have you used it as a camp fire pit? How much weight does it hold? Thinking a couple logs...

Picked up an InReach Mini, and a headlamp.

It’s factory tow which gives it a 4500 lb rating. It’s also a 6 cylinder.

We have a 17' Latitude, and it's a great vehicle. Haven't done too much OR in it, but have taken it on a few trails and fire roads. One section of trail I would consider "moderate" and it did it just fine in stock mode, with stock highway tires. lol It was one of those, "let's go here" decisions...

My suspension is getting a bit long in the tooth too. They're squeaky, i think I get that lean, i really just bounce around on washboards, etc. That said, I might also be getting a new truck within the next year. I think I'm ready for just something new.

Sounds to me like you have perfect set. I only take a 12” cast iron skillet, but looking to add a Dutch oven to the mix - been watching a lot of campfire baking shows. Lol Plus one of the best desserts I’ve ever had around a campfire, was a berry cobbler made in a Dutch oven using the fire for...

I know the answer is "depends", and there are a lot of factors in deciding how big to go. Looking at rigs online, seems like a lot of folks like to run 35s, 37s and even 40s, which often requires adding a lift and re-hearing, etc. But then you look at other vehicles where going up to a 31 or 33s...

This might be crossing the line a bit. lol Though I would try one, but probably only one.

mmmm, Spam. I love just frying up thin crispy slices and rolling them up on a tortilla. the perfect snack of protein and carbs.

I'm going to try and go up on Sunday, though not sure how I can help. I'm not supposed to do any heavy lifting or doing anything strenuous for a few days. Definitely don't want to reinjure myself. getting older sucks. :/

I've been using a North Face 2-person (or 1 largish person) back-packing tent. Was great 15-20+ years ago when I backpacked, but as I've gotten a bit older with back issues, I've been looking at something I can walk into and stand up in. I'm looking at the HubT3 since it looks like it will do...

Santa Rosa.

Great tips! what are your thoughts on semi-rectangular bags? I was never a fan of the "mummy" feel, but I usually do wear a hat. I'm about to pick one up. I also remember reading years ago when I backpacked about putting a water bottle at the foot of the bag. I found it really helped regulate my...

Sounds good. Let me know if I can help scout out a place. the parking lot on the north end of town where the K-mart used to be before the fires has a big, mostly empty parking lot.

Did the meet-up in Santa Rosa already happen? How does one get on the list?

New to the group, but I can't make it this weekend as I have a previous engagement. That said, does this ever move around to different locations? Pleasanton is not particularly close to the North Bay, etc.

Great thread. Those are some pretty sweet set-ups. Currently looking at tents because my NorthFace backpacking tent, although a great tent, is not as “fun” crawling on the ground to get into, as it was when I was in my twenties. I want something I can stand in, get dressed in without having to...

Just signed up today for membership and the forums. I currently have a '98 Tacoma 4x4 that I've had since almost new. No mods, but I have done a few off-roading trips here and there. Nothing too crazy or remote because I am usually alone and don't want to get stuck. Always wanted to do more...
