    Well... the most difficult part of a multiday trip with my wife has been breeched, and successfully I might add. We talked about the route. Concessions were made. About four days of wheeling and three mountain ranges were cut, but overall a successful bid for Montana will be made. She is concerned about "hard" offroading and I promised that as far as I know there is very little... As far as I know. She remembers last time in the Big Horns, so I was worried about that statement, but seems to be that she is okay with a little bit and the option to walk when scared. Most of the hard stuff is optional and can easily by bypassed or cut out... As of today the Montana trip is a go-drop into the Saphire Mountains near Anaconda Montana and then seven days of dirt, rocks and trees to Wallace Idaho. Excited! Departure date fast approaching-June 29th.

    At work there is guy that you do not want to make eye contact with when he is not on his meds, scarry.


    50 - 55 years.
    Yesterday is a blurry.



    :smack:



    He does do great reviews.
    I do like that radio for 2 reasons.
    1. The plug in for the mic is far superior than the Midland 275.
    2. The sound it makes when turning on is peaceful, unlike the Midland.
    I do like the other features.


    Your going love it. Money well spent.:thumbsup:




    There is the option of your wife taking another mode of transportation.
    Don't tell her I said that. I may get :smack:.
    Your going to have fun. Post lots of pictures.

    Pay no mind to the half dozen tacomas and possibly a 4Runner in your rear view mirror. :rofl:

    I have a few 12v fridges
    My Engel will still be running when all the rest are thrown out, and cockroaches rule the earth
    Currently keeping my beer at 28°, but it’s done everything from an all purpose car fridge, to transporting frozen food 1000 miles, to keeping an entire quartered deer cool.

    I'll give this thread 1st dibs on a pedal commander with a cubby mounting bracket. (I've had my fun with it)
    $50 try before you buy.

    There's a pitch. :D

    Pedal commanders are just throttle dumps.

    Get a tune.

    There's a counter pitch :playball: :crapstorm:

    The surging while crawling is where I drew the line. I'll take my cubby space back.
    And for that reason. I'm out.

    I like to pop in the PC threads on the 4Runner forum to remind people that they can do what the PC does by pushing the pedal harder. :bananadance:

    Nah. In Wisco ABV goes up, the further north you get, to avoid freezing in cold temps.
    Most years at the shack we can leave it sit outside and keep it cold.

    Well aged, metallic notes and a bit crunchy. Pairs well with Malort.

    I don't believe you. What I hear is nothing pairs well with Malort.
