Idaho BS thread in the PNW

Oh I much rather spend the money on upgrading my seats than to get a different commuter.

My husband just started a job and is driving his 12mpg ram 40mi a day, he may have to upgrade to a commuter

 

yeah I wasnt suggesting that you get rid of it...But the 2008 4runner seats were very comfortable in comparison...I dont know if they are direct fit though.

 

THe reason why is because it is drop bracket lift. If you are going for looks then db is the way to go. But if you going for off road reason then DB sux major ding dong.

 

Recaro SRD, fully adjustable tilt with sliders (look on ebay).
Wedge Engineering brackets ($100 each).

 

OK good to know! The amount of off roading I do is just long dirt roads, haha maybe one day that hobby will change but not yet.

 

We drove like 2 hours into the woods from Emmett last year to find Aspens for our engagement pictures. Is this closer?

 

The trees are beautiful this year. They seem to be changing/dropping early. Or maybe it's just been warmer than usual and it seems early to me.

 

Who could not like this.

 

agree!

 

Anyone here following the Wilkes brothers controversy? Locking down FS rd 374 among others...

Coming from California I don't have much snow to play around with but from what I have driven in so far my Cooper STT Pro's do a lot better than I had thought but I am moving to Coeur D'alene in a couple months so I imagine there will be a lot more snow. What tires are you guys running for winter? I love having a 10ply tire of wheeling purposes so I want to avoid A/T tires if possible. Also my wife has a 18 4Runner TRD so she needs snow tires too. Post pictures if you got em! Been hearing good things about Goodyear Duratrac so far

 

Private property should be that, however this road is a US Forest Service road- Built & maintained by tax payers for decades. In my minds eye clearing falls under what is called a prescriptive easement.

I am not sure why, but this outfit has systematically bought land from the former timber companies then closed off access.

 

Dang I love Idaho. Went out to Idaho Falls this summer!

 

I am still gathering information- but I drove that road a week ago and it was strange the gates are at the point where the forest service road crosses the private property- so maybe a mile or two- making FS 374 a dead end road from either direction. But the road is actively maintained and used- Which is how the prescriptive easement is relative. Under preceding ownership, continual use has been established and is forever moving forward a easement across this property. FS 374 is probably most know/used roads (Also it is the Nordic trail leading out of Bogus in the Winter)but they have done this with others as well that would fall under Idaho statutes. Something I am following - we out that way often and its a scenic road but also a direct route to Boise.

 

CDA main roads arent bad, side roads do get a lot messier but still if you take it slow you do ok, just be aware if the off roads in the hills/mountains say only maintained in the summer they mean it!

DAFAQ??? I thought it would be something related to potato's but not that...whatever it is..

 

Lol
I'd try it
It would be like an orange bbq sauce sandwich, light on the sauce of course....I've eaten a lot worse

 

I know its not going to last but we've been enjoying this fall weather!

 

Bring on the snow
