For back country use I really like my MSR Lightning Ascents.

So she's a search and rescue dog? How cool! What certifications does she have?

Looks like you and I took the same photos. The famous green guy is tough to photograph and I had a crappy camera at the time. It's an amazing place.

Valley of Fire is amazing. Petroglyphs are quite limited, but the rock formations are other worldly.

Took my ZR2 out for a spin north of Taos today.

We were on the road with Buck over two weeks starting middle of October. Bluff Utah, north rim Grand Canyon, Valley of Fire State Park in NV and finally out to LA to visit one of the kids. Buck is a great camp dog and is very tolerant of being in the truck for long stretches. Here's a pic...

Nice to see my rig on OutdoorX4's Facebook site.

I think we're all on the same page (pages) here. Totally agree with not politicizing stuff. Enjoy, learn, share, repeat.

We'd love to have you! Do you mean the Enchanted Circle? It's the mostly circular drive from Taos, to Questa, Red River, Eagle Nest, Angel Fire, and back to Taos. If that's not it, let us know where you'd like to go - it's all pretty spectacular. Edit: OK, I looked up "Enchanted Rockies"...

Here's my Bison knockoff. I call it the "Burrito", because heating a burrito is the only thing the cell phone charger in the Colorado is good for. ;) I've got the 589 Fab skid plate package, cab mounted the spare for extra clearance, and have no interest in much bigger tires or a bumper...

Re the weather, that's why I'm glad we live in the west - it can be bad enough. At least when it was at Mormon Lake, farther away from Flagstaff, access to the venue was easy. If it rained, or snowed and rained like it did in 2015, it turned into a muddy mess too. Well, it was set up in a...

Nice camp! I wanted to boondock near Zion on our western trip a couple of weeks ago but it looked like rain, and pulling a trailer up a hill didn't look like the smartest thing to try. I then rerouted to boondock at Valley of the Gods near Bluff, same deal. Ended up in a campground in Bluff...

On our first night there was a massive electrical storm with a LOT of water running down the wash to the right of our trailer. Immediately to the right is another small site where a guy was camped in his tent. He said that his tent started to float in the middle of the storm! Fortunately the...

Our campsite at Valley of Fire State Park in NV, last week.

A Chevy Colorado ZR2 with most bed caps or racks would fit, even if you added a little bigger diameter tires. You may have to replace the OEM antenna with a stubby unit though. If you want stuff on top of the cab roof or bed rack/cap (spare tire, jack, RTT, etc.), you'd have to store it...

I've been telecommuting for years and live in the country, so usually no problem, but last week we were visiting one of our kids in LA and I had to park on the street. I pulled out everything from the bed, took the mtn. bikes inside and put cable locks on Rotopax, Maxtrax, HiLift and spare...

Mesa Prieta Petroglyph Preserve north of Santa Fe, NM, is estimated to contain over 75,000 images, maybe the largest concentration of rock images in North America. I've visited it. It's amazing. Many more areas in northern NM, many known only to locals. I've also backpacked in Grand Gulch...

She is a smart woman - very smart! The Highlander and the ZR2 complement each other for our needs and if I take a couple of things off the top of the Chevy, both will fit in the garage. The 4R is really cool, but the technology is old, there really aren't any of the bells and whistles that she...

Yeah, I recently looked into the Pro's when my wife bought a new vehicle. I was trying to get her to buy a Forerunner, but she really wanted a Highlander. :( The Pro's are a point of entry add-on in the US and they actually don't have some of the competency of the TRD OR. They Taco and the...
