Wisconsin Tacomas and bad financial advice

Posting up for sale all the items needed to add a Yakima rack to a fiberglass truck topper for a tacoma.

Selling 54" long tracks, landing pads and towers. I didn't purchase crossbars. Cost for me was about $300 buying items on sale through REI and Amazon. Everything is brand new and never installed. Sold my 2004 DC before installing it on the cab.

Link to the craigslist add and the details of the tracks, landing pads and towers are below the image from Yakima.

I started a thread to discuss this.

Anyone else interested in a fall camping trip, check this out:

Just booked a spot up north. This weekend was booked solid. Camping Sunday aug18,aug19 and I check out Tuesday aug20
$60 for 2 nights ($25 per night +$10 res fee) and includes electric
Also need a County pass ($20 year or $5 per day)


Looks like it has decent sized spots

Anyone up during that time stop by for a beer. Plenty of spots available if you want to camp.

 

Drove past dragging the camper going south yesterday. The line to get in was longer than we wanted to wait in with the camper then another 2+hr drive ahead of us. Next year we may have to make a weekend out of it.

 

I might make it a point to be in the area that weekend.

 

At the Weird Al show with my brother, his wife, and son! We have great seats. Should be a great show!

 

Nice!

 

I just left Rhinelander last week, up visiting my inlaws for a few weeks. Next year I'll be up for a month with the 4runner. Would be great to meet some of you and see some trails.

 

I know the wife wants to check some waterfalls out and fish the river. Hopefully everything goes good with the dog. He’s never camped and we will be in a tent. Gonna be interesting with our 118lbs Akita. My kid has never camped either so here’s to great weather and zero issues .

 

Let us know when you're coming back! I've been trying to hit some sort of trails every other week or so.

 

Before I go out and do something ridiculous and buy a new hood ornament (WINCH)... since my bumper is off and being painted this week (due to the salt from last winter fucking it up )

Any of you Wisconsin guys have insight into salty Wisconsin winters from hell and winches? Should I just not bother to buy a winch until I move away from this hateful place next summer? I don’t want to buy a winch and have the salt kill it over one winter.

 

You could buy a winch cover. I purchased one this spring in hopes it will keep it safe over the winter.

 

Someone caught me doing some urban off-roading

 

sometimes you just need your off roading fix, flexing on curbs just dont cut it after a while

 

Made the community page!
Bravo!!!!

 

Stopped in Rhinelander. I love this place



Hit the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest office and saw a update for the 2019 motor vehicle use map

 

Well, when the mall is unavailable for off-roading, you gotta do what you can!

Also, I'm very curious as to the demographic who posts to Facebook community pages.

 

You were just north of me a 1/2 hour.

 

I’m up here all the time. Took my lunch tossing baits from shore. Nothing better than fishing on a workday!

 

I'll be just east of there in Crandon on the labor day wknd.
