I grew up in the East Kootenays right in the center of the Rocky Mountain Trench.
I worked in the bush for a long time and never thought about where I was because I had the Steeples to the east;
and the Purcells to the west;
You could not get lost if you tried.. You could see Fisher Peak...
I love these threads!

I went with clear anodized bars and raw aluminum sides, I didn't want to deal with chipping paint or anything like that.
The other huge plus to me was the modular design. I love that I can change the bars around, get more attachments, and even replace...
Haha, stories are all coming out now.. thing to remember - Don't give up! Even if you have the worst trip, the next one will be better!
We had our little girl out camping at 8 months, with our son at 3.. Stayed close to home, able to pull the pin, but they did well.
I have to say having a...
I hated the rearview mirror position in the 2nd gen.. every one I got into seemed to have it right in my face/fov.. and then we bought ours and 10 minutes on TW found ImMrYo making extensions to move it out of the way. That is another nice thing about Tacomas - close your eyes and think of a...

In my truck workbox there is a fiskers hatchet - just incase I'm chopping dirt.
I carried a Scepter MFC Jerry strapped to the side of the bed under the canopy.
Sort of like this;
Now I only carry it for trips as it was making the groceries smell like gas..
Haha, we call it testing..
Like how on every drive I'm listening, varying speed, breaking, checking the steering wheel, etc, etc..

Air up, check fluids, get music, load GPS, rainx windows..
