I had the Night Rider idea a while back too. Glad to see I was not alone. Mine is black so it would be perfect. I think external speakers under the truck that could play the sound effect would top it all off. For the hardcore folks you could let it rip into the entire theme song. Let's get...

I recently put on a Yakima Rack System for my mountain bikes. I've been very pleased with the quailty, fit and stability with the bikes on top. To my suprise the wind noise with the bikes on top is very tolerable and I'd go so far as to say hardly noticible with the sun roof shade closed...

Nothing new to report that hasn't been said. But worth saying again. You truck looks awesome. And clearly it performs. Nice work.

Not sure if you can use both type nets with double decker cargo set up since i don't have it. But I do have the net that goes across the back and I think it works really well. I was skeptical at first since I've never used a cargo net, but it really works well. It's amazing how much you can toss...

Nice. I like that. I think this belongs in the poser pics section. :) Speaking of accidents, on my way home I saw a truck that had downed about a 40ft tree. Saw to parties causually chatting so everone must have been OK. And, if my rubbernecking vision/memory is accurate I believe the truck...

It looks more off road than it really is. I drove back on a dirt road for more than 10 miles, it was in perfect shape. You'd have no problems in 2WD. In fact, driving out the first evening we saw about 400 head of cattle in a meadow about 9 miles back. When we drove out in the morning they were...

If I stood next to Paul Sr. My guns would be bigger than his, so don't feel bad about being taller. :awais: Cool pics. Looks like great week out there other than working to death. Thanks for sharing.

These pics are from a month or two back. Did an overnight out there stayed at Half Moon. I was actually quite blown away with the scenery out there. It's beautiful terrain. Wide open meadows meet steep rocky cliffs. And a sprawling, mostly dry this time of year, Piru Creek. I can't wait to...

I had the problem too. And to make matters worse, with no resistance, I would forget the brake was on and drive with it still locked. Last car was a Lexus IS300 and wouldn't budge with the handbrake on. Took some getting used to the foot release, out of sight out of mind, don't see the brake...

Funny I was just thinking about you today with the race this weekend in Talledega. Even browsed some fares this morning on the spur of the moment notion I would throw all caution to the wind and flight out on a whim for the race. Not the way I need to be budgeting! Needless to say I will not be...

Cool thanks. That's the area I really wanted to check out but I can't get up there till late Friday night, and since I don't know the area that well I don't want to be stuck hunting for a first-come, first-served spot at night. The pics from up there look great though. Anyone have any...

I bought by ’04 Sport from Carson Toyota through their fleet department. Other dealers wouldn’t even attempt to locate the model I wanted because the thought it was too hard to come by. Carson has an excellent inventory search which I monitored for a couple weeks looking for what I wanted. Once...

Any suggestions for some light off-roading in So Cal this weekend. Trying to avoid anza borrego and the heat, but looking for some nice calm trails and an area to camp. Big Bear maybe or up near gorman? Any advice would be great.

I know what you mean about keeping it clean. I knew that going into it too, but it just looked so good. So, i got it good and dusty day 2 and went to wash it, definitely a challenge drying it spot free without any shade! Considering my last car was pearl white and could hold a months worth of...

No major plans yet. I'd like to add leather at some point. The TRD edition from ClassicSoft looks intriquing. And I did order the cargo net and Valor tip which should be here this week. I'm sure they'll be more.
