I have seen this one around Glencoe High School. Think he lives a few blocks to the north.

I signed up for a 4 day ADV motorcycle course, I'm stoked to finally be getting more skills. Picture of future me:

 

I did mine through the navy and had fun. The instructors made me try to actuate my abs brakes and could not have the front to actuate.

 

Did some survey work in Christmas Valley. Figured out where my first loop driveway will go with one rv pad and shipping container for storage. Got to watch a couple jets do some dogfight training and pop off some flares. They let off a couple sonic booms when they left.
It was a nice day out there.

Everyone has heard of the breakfast of champions. Here is the lunch of losers. Forgot to time it, but that little burner boils water fast.

 

I've totally been thinking about doing the same thing. Next big step.

 

I have the same stove...

 

What's the diff between 2nd gen taco and 1st gen wheel wells? Is one wider? I keep reading 1st gen is 40-41.5" (inside bed between wheel well) and 2nd gen is 42.75" does that sound right? Gotta cram this cabover in today. I understand it might taper a bit but the bed on my access cab should be comparable to a 2nd gen width wise huh?

 

Going to Bend tomorrow to pick up my cabover camper

 

If I could figure out modern day technology I'd use that quote as my permanent motto

 

Answered my own question thanks to this forum: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/detailed-bed-dimensions.400407/

Should fit. I'll post a pic of my new camping monstrosity if it does work out. Only 800#s!

 

There's still registration open for the 1st.

 

What's it cost? I may have one within a week.

 

Ain't gonna lie. It's spendy. However, it's going to be some of the best training you can get. I took an intro course as the very first thing I ever did on a motorcycle, and it made me ahead of a lot of people when it came to getting the on-road license a few months later. The intro course was only a day, so this is going to be a LOT more material.

Ta-Da!!

 

Did you reinforce the rear section of the frame (plates and box)?
Trail gear comes to mind.

 

Nahh we just ratched' it down. Only weighs 800#s. Gonna do it right and get Billstein shocks, happijack, etc. probably. Drove 300 mi today with wind, no prob, but for the longterm, any ideas on how reduce sliding? Will happij fix that? Maybe heavy duty grip tape?

 

Yeah...I'm thinking an intro course would be a much better idea to start.

 

From the site:

Look at the top of the page of the link I sent, they talk about what you learn.
