    Seriously I know. All the new ones I looked at were like this. We settled on a duplex one with a 2 car. Was the most up to date build, but its definately a smaller sized 2 car. Best I could do with the situtation other then the one with th e huge shop in the back yard. But that house was so out dated it would have been annoying to live in.

    How long you lived in Polson for? I used to spend my summers up there and know a few people there.

    Had my diff fluid changed after hitting 500 miles on my new gears/lockers from ECGS. The guys at Dark Horse discovered that my rear ARB locker isn't sealed. Soo.... called ECGS. Gonna have to warranty the locker and I haven't even used it yet. :(

    Hopefully we can get it resolved before Rock Therapy!

    Nope. My front diff with the ARB has been fine. I grenaded my rear one with the E-locker 2 years after install and ECGS warrantied it. I'm on my 4th rear diff now...

    Though the E-locker diffs have been known for grenading frequently...

    Would this be the "jumping" Dark Horse was joking with me about that's so bad on lockers? LoL

    :notsure: I can neither confirm nor deny that my jumping has damaged anything on my Taco. I cannot confirm because I have yet to actually break anything in the dunes after all of my times there, but I can't deny that it is doing a lot of wear and tear that is adding up later. My last ring and pinion that went, I hadn't hardly drove my Tacoma for a few months and it randomly started knocking while driving on a city road.

    Hey everyone, had my taco for about a year but I just signed up, grew up in Kalispell and I'm living in Missoula now.

    Anyone know of any good trails or off roading spots in western MT or northern ID? I know there's state land roads and access everywhere but wondering if anyone had any specific locations worth checking out.

    Thanks for the tip, looks like an awesome resource. I'm surprised I haven't seen or heard about it, I'll have to pick it up this week.

    Take Exit 43 on I-90, about 4 miles west of Superior, head southwest on Dry Creek Rd [342] to the ID/MT border. Follows the border west. Ben and I did this last July. Came from St. Maries, ID, followed the St Joe river east, then up over the divide. Amazing scenery. Lots of wildlife. There was a black bear sighting. :spy:

    Hi everyone

    I'm spending the summer down at my cabin rear rexford/ eurika and was wondering of there are some locals in the area I could meet up to go wheeling with at some point!

    I've been looking at the forest service Kootenai national forest ranger district maps and have noticed a few "lookouts" in the rexford/fortine districts as well as the libby district such as black butte, warlord pk, blue mtn, Zeigler mtn, etc. I know some can be rented to stay the night, but i am more looking for day trips to check them out! Just wondering if anyone has been up to these / would like to go at some point? My goal this summer is try and reach all shown in the two districts.
