I recently bought a '08 gx470 in SE USA with 173000 miles, great price (negotiated down due to mileage). All maintenance records were in order and all work done at dealership. I side with bhunter74, I too don't need a lot of extra storage beyond what is provided with the GX. What was...

Stock suspension and vehicle set-up will be fine for the Traverse (however a set of upgrade tires is often very helpful, mostly for slippery mud which can be frequent but not really too problematic). There is one trail section that can offer more challenge for the vehicle and driver - Trey (or...

Hi Patriot, I think most folks complete the East - West traverse in 3 days (long weekends) but it could be done in 2 long days or less if you pressed and don't make many/any stops to check out scenic vistas, waterfalls, etc. But, the drive itself is key - if you get bored, tired, bad weather...

With the rainy, cool weather I decided to go for a day drive in new area for me. Rich Mountain Wilderness, Chattahoochee National Forest, N Georgia, USA Very relaxing winter drive on very short notice

Awesome trip guys!! Thanks for posting the pics

Love the rig, welcome aboard! I use a Yakima rack system for my small PU ('02 Ranger) - works great and I can reach into the RTT while standing on ground - really can be a convenience .

Welcome to the fun. I completely agree with Smileyshaun! In fact his 5 bullet points are excellent guide stones for all of us. just worry about the basics *let someone know where your going *have a spare or a way to repair a tire *even if it's a day trip bring the essentials for a...

Welcome aboard from Georgia, USA

Welcome from GA

Toxicity, my bride and I used to have the same problems... b'days, holidays, work, yada... So we began to look more strategically at our goals. We initially planned spur of the moment or a couple of weeks out and, like you, along came a stumbling point or conflicting need or urgency and our...

Gun Dude, We've camped in the rain (sure you have as well) and it ain't ALL BAD. Our first trip, about 3-4 years back just after I got my RTT mounted, was rain all day - rain all night for 3 solid days. We had a blast in N. GA mtns. anyway. I had a tarp which I strung up for us to "huddle...

My wife and I were up in NW GA Friday and Saturday. It was pretty cool temps and windy on Friday as the weather front moved in. Didn't start to rain until 3 PM (with a few exceptions of very light sprinkles Saturday morning). We were going to camp both Friday and Saturday but with the...

thanks for sharing... learned something new today! Since I've already got 4 ground tents (various sizes from ultralight backpack single, 4 person to cabin sized) AND a RTT (by Yakima) the last thing I'd look for (or need) would be another tent/sleeping system. LOL I just hadn't ever seen...

Totalling the truck out is probably what they'll consider since repair costs are pretty high and the truck isn't a late model. But you can buy it back from them at a discount (or so I've been informed) and do the repairs yourself by taking advantage of "Pull-A-Part" or other salvage yards in...

Sorry to hear, glad you're okay and damage wasn't worse. Going to help a friend with...? As someone said before me, "No good deed goes unpunished!"

Don't keep us all in suspense... we wanna know details of how you mishap occurred. Hoping it was while out and off-pavement but suspect it was a traffic related event.

Glad to see others got out this winter in the SE to enjoy the scenic vistas of our Appalachian Forests. Interesting cot/tent set up you guys used!!

My wife and I decided to get out of the city to recharge & decompress with a short excursion up to NW Georgia this weekend. Specifically we wanted to make the entire loop around the Cohutta Wilderness which as you all know is a portion of the Georgia Traverse. We drove up to Blue Ridge, GA to...

Way to go ChepoCDT!! You represent this group well and you've represented yourself and all Mexicans with character and commitment. As things stand right now it looks like my wife and I are driving down to Michoacan at the end of January 2019 to spend a month or more helping our friends in...
