    4runner guys...kdss ir no kdss

    Another KDSS fan here. Better handling on and off-road. I have a Stage 2 Icon upgraded suspension and have had no issues. KDSS and XREAS are two different animals. With XREAS you were stuck with the factory suspension until you ripped it out. Having said that, my 2006 Sport Edition w/XREAS is...

    ConsoleVault Safes for your rig

    I've been using mine for 2 years/46,000 miles in my 5Gen 4Runner. I keep cash, boat keys, shop keys, wallet, rechargeable flashlight, matches, misc. stuff and passport in it when traveling. I made an organizer with leftover Trekpak. Easy install, just remove the factory bolts and replace with...

    Fly Fishing

    I'm heading to Bozeman next month for the AFFTA Dealer Summit, then fishing/camping my way home. I was planning on camping in Yellowstone the first night, but the Madison campground closes the week before I leave. Would love to fish the Madison and Gibbon in the park before heading to Twin...

    FLASHLIGHTS

    LED LENSER M7R. Smart charger in the console keeps it ready to go and it's right where I can grab it... Knowing that it will work when I need it no matter how long it's been sitting unused is peace of mind. Throws an incredible amount of light and is easily focused for close up or distance...

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    Took my favorite pool toy in this morning for a tune-up before the fall season kicks in. Puget Sound is calling....

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    I hooked it up to the drift boat and with 14 of my friends we took 20 deserving Veterans from the local VA fishing for the day. Every year for the past 6 years I host an event for Project Healing Waters on the coast near Pacific City. We fly fish for Sea-run Cutthroat, but mostly we just visit...

    Fly Fishing

    Kind of quiet here on the Fly Fishing thread. Hope everyone is out fishing. I just returned from 4 days in Steelhead Camp on the Deschutes River where I hosted 6 anglers. We found a few fish. Had a great time. And nobody died. Always the measure of a great trip. I even got to play with a few hot...

    Fly Fishing

    Normally I wrap cameras up in one of those backpacker's towels to keep other gear from banging them. Also tend to carry a "Puffy" vest or jacket as padding and layering if the weather changes. The down side to any waterproof pack is the zipper. It is a pain to get in and out of, but that's the...

    Original post vanished.... Here's a glimpse at the last two weeks of angling adventures. San Diego Makos and Puget Sound Coho Salmon. Both fun, but very different. Next up, North Umpqua Steelhead...

    Fly Fishing

    Tyed up a few dry flies this morning... My bags are packed and the destination is Mission Bay. Nothing like a few days of tugging on Makos to break up the Trout fishing summer funk. Switching from my 4wt Sweetgrass bamboo to a 14wt Winston broom handle this weekend and dialing up my buddy...

    Fly Fishing

    While West Slope Cutthroat are common in parts of the west, their historical range in Oregon is relatively small. I set a goal to photograph one in Oregon and spent a year researching watersheds, maps, satellite images and assorted scientific papers on the subject. Many of the locations thought...

    Backroads and Dusty Trails~Oregon's John Day

    A year ago I set myself a goal to find and photograph a West Slope Cutthroat Trout in Oregon. While this was not an impossible task as proven by the image above, it nevertheless involved plenty of research of the historical range of this special fish. The many miles of travel and the hours spent...

    Metolius River Dispersed Camping

    Like @Sadkomodo said, the only placed to camp outside of the designated campgrounds is below Bridge 99. I camp below and fish above. My tip for fishing the Met is keep your boots dry. Use your eyes more and wade less. A lot of the fish are right next to the bank and skitter away when stepped on...

    Camp Photos!

    http://www.tailgatertiretable.com/ They had a "show special" at NWOR... If I had the talent, tools and time I could build one, but it would cost me 10,000 times the price, once they put the fire out.
