    Had a 2002 DC, now a 2004 DC.
    Hey Guys and Gals,

    I am hoping to might get some help here--I saw a 1st gen gold 4 door Taco on Friday on I-90 heading east from Missoula.

    It had a expedition-like roof bar on it that mounted between the bed and canopy, and the rack covered both the bed and the cab.

    That wouldn't happen to be anyone's rig here would it?

    I was heading west-bound, so I did not get a long look at it, who knows, they might not even be from here.

    Anyone?

    look for "ladder racks" or "lumber racks" I know there are a few varieties out there that are made to fit over a canopy. Can't recall any brands at the moment

    MTGirl,

    Yeah, something like that. I did some searching and found some options. Might see if Ryan at Montana Fab might be able to make something...

    2 pairs of Yakima racks (2 over cab, 2 over canopy) would run about $650 locally. I wonder if I would get a better value from something like that.

    I'm looking into having Ryan build me a bumper. Have you purchased any of his products?

    Conditions are horrible out there right now - a kid was killed in an avalanche near Cooke City yesterday too. And the avalanche guys had issued a backcountry warning telling people to stay out. I guess they didn't listen. They also didn't have any safety or recovery gear.

    That's 5 deaths in MT this winter and 4 of those were within the last 3 weeks.

    Heard about that as well. That's enough to keep me fishing for now, or pay for a pass at a resort. Sad news.

    :wave: hey G! Are you enjoying spring break?

    I'm even avoiding snow shoeing for the most part due to the snow conditions.

    Not on SB yet. :( Not until the first week of April. But my girlfriend is, so she's coming over this afternoon. My friends and I pulled a permit to go to the Smith River for the week of spring break, so that'll be a blast as long as the weather holds up.

    Feel like I haven't been on here in forever...So busy nowadays. School is a killer right now, studying a lot! Turn 21 finally next week, and am purchasing a camera for my birthday! Woho!

    I can imagine you're ready for summer!

    No break? That's odd. Have fun on your float trip - might want to invest in a waterproof case for the camera if you don't already have one.
    What sort of camera are you looking at? Now is a good time to buy - lots of rebates right now so your money will go a little further. I can't believe my camera is 2 years old!

    I am so ready for summer...been wanting to go camping for months now! Soon...

    Had a 2002 DC, now a 2004 DC.
    I have ordered some stuff through him, and we are building plate bumpers this year for both the Taco and the 4Runner.

    I enjoy stopping by there and chatting with him. Many of the folks that i work with have had work done by him, and I am impressed with everything I have seen him do.

    I am going with a custom bumper as I cannot seem to find exactly what I would like, and plus it keeps $$ in the community.

    Yeah, no break right now. Wish it was, beautiful weather! I've got a pelican case for my camera right now, but it's just a Nikon D3000. The new camera I'm looking to buy is a D7000...much bigger camera body. Hope it fits. If not, I'm going to invest in a new Pelican. Love those things for the boat.


    My D3000 is epoxied in several places to hold the flash together. Dropped it this winter trying to help my mom carry a casserole. :( So it's safe to say I'm stoked for a new camera

    If you think your old camera is worth fixing bring it to Bozeman Camera and Repair next time you're over this way. Its kind of a hole in the wall but they are awesome. I bring my camera there for its annual cleaning and I got my 100-400 lens there. They take in trades and sell used gear so if nothing else maybe you could trade in the old body for a new lens :notsure:
    They have Pelican cases too - new and used.
