Good day eh Bruce. Great video, great demo, great cruiser.. Subscribed from BC eh? Good day.

Awesome, take care of it! My first vehicle as a 16 year old was another 86 Xtra cab. I love our 2nd gen Tacoma now, but still miss that little truck.

I would install it then tune it. google pic; I've got the same 2/70B antenna myself on the fender; I don't get into the really thick stuff but I've never worried about the odd branch - I've also seen these Larsons on forestry bush trucks go for a long time with not one problem at all. Are...

255/70-R17 Blizzak DM-V1. A little bit skinnier and taller than the summer stock 265/65-R17 size. This spring I'm putting 265/70-R17 Ko2

I run Fj Steelies in the winter; 17x7.5 +15mm offset 4.5" backspacing (vs stock Tacoma 5.5") And then painted them white; I love the look, they are rock solid, and at $90ea they were a better price than waiting for takeoffs to come along.

The confusion here is that we are talking about recovery points when really the car only has tie down shipping or straight/flat/easy/tow points; :flushed:

Does your Outback have the two hoops up front and one at the back? Those are tie down points. You might get a few straight pulls on them but you won't get away with doing a hairy recovery. Our Forester is the same. Worse if you have the 'tow bolt' that threads into the bumper.. Your options are...

This is a T-slot; You take off the end caps and slide it down the rail. Then when you are mounting to it the bolts just thread right in. Your carriage bolts are doing the same, just not as 'technical'..

You can do neat stuff with the side rails.. I actually found the T-slot nuts that go inside the tracks; That's a shovel, toolbox, hilift all the way around. There is a good trick to have a Jerry at the back of the box as well.

I use the Antenna more to make sure my roof rack is going to clear going into parkades :tonguewink: my VHF/UHF is much more reliable and entertaining than the CB.

Don't think so, It's in a provincial park; http://www.env.gov.bc.ca/bcparks/explore/parkpgs/enderby_cliffs/ 6.5km to the top.. I think the best views are 3-4km in though.

Another Cobra 75 here, just to keep it all compact and under the passenger seat out of the way; Everything is contained in the mic, so no worries about finding the best spot for a radio.. Picked up a fiberglass antenna from the local trucking shop and put it up front on the lightbar.

Are you going to get up to the cliffs?

I love the Kootenays in the fall; Larch turn and the weather stays nice, just don't walk around with antlers on your head.

Check out these local forums for some local trip reports; http://www.overlandcanada.com/forum/index.php http://forum.untitledoffroad.com/index.php Lots to visit, just a heads up; 2017 is Canada's 150th - so they've been giving out free passes to Canada Parks this year. While this is a good...

Nice, I've got a similar one as well;

It would be nice to know the draw of those lights before you started, that would let you design the harness a bit better. Also will show if you need to run it with a relay or not - I would recommend you do. I also like to use add-a-fuse inputs rather than cutting/splicing the OEM harness. I...

Depends what I'm doing, if it's walking the dog around the park in the winter, playing around at the campsite, or working on the vehicle I usually throw on the little petzel tikka. When I'm grooming and may need to walk back out I take my fenix - HP15 runs on AA and isn't too heavy..

Not really vanity, but in BC you can get callsign plates if you HAM;

Never been, but recognize the spots from the Ct4wd/UO guys..
