Can't really help with 6G. Is this for hunting where easy access might be wanted, or more of a tactical type of need? I've seen 2/3rd gen Tacos with a molle panel that goes over the heads of, and slightly forwards of the rear seat passengers. Uses just the 4 screws that mount the over-head pass...

With the pending shut-down will further updates be moving to the email list?

I'd classify the SPOT, InReach, Starlink, etc. as communication device more than a tool, but the line can sure be blurry at times. If it's getting you out of a jam, then it's a tool. Otherwise I'd say they're Comms. Fire extinguishers live in a similar state of ambiguity. Are they a tool? Are...

3 of my 4 have charging docks for our InReach and the 4th has one, like a lot things on that project it just isn't yet mounted. We do go off-road by ourselves, sometimes for several days at a time. I've been considering a Star-Link just for those trips. Fire extinguishers; I didn't mention...

Roughly where in NorCA? Chico State grad here. I would say that given the date that you're going to want to find lodging pronto. As-in TODAY. I would expect that unless they have a cancellation that the Majestic Moose, the Grey Squirrel, and the Golden Bear lodges are all booked solid. Finding...

All hail the AlGoreRhythm!

sigh...... that format is terrible for following a conversation w/o getting lost. Oh, well.

No carb'd EB's left anymore, all went EFI?

Seeing Dusty's post in the Bishop thread about not routing fuel lines near heat sources got me to wondering how many are using a returning fuel system with a carb? There's a range of different ways to do it, just curious if any here are doing it?

Curious to see what others are carrying and how they're carrying their tools. I know that I'm not the only one, I just had pics of all of it because a couple years ago someone asked.

ETA: This is the result of ~30 years of trying different ideas. Works for me, but may or may not for anyone else. Some of us haul 397 pounds worth of tools. Some of us carry nothing except for enough beer to be able to borrow as many of those tools as needed to do a trail repair. In the FSB I'm...

Good, thanks! New thread in-process.....

Do we have a thread already on tools to carry? Should we make one, or should they go here? There are a couple tools that may not be obvious that are the first tools that I put in any new to me vehicle.

I think that I'd put a Starlink in the "Nice to Have" column rather than the Must Have column. I'd put an InReach or a SPOT in the Must Have column first, but really only then if going on extended back-country trips with a very small group. Unless there's the budget for it when doing such trips...

Fixed! Elsewhere too!
