I think I've seen that one coming back from Buttle Lake, looked small but good to hear it's nice (if it's the one I'm thinking of). I also wanted to stay at one of the many little FCFS sites that are all around there but we decided to stay an extra night on Sointula and power home the next day.

There's a lot of them out there, lol! We went down a few sketchy dead-ends looking for the parking lot even. We wanted to check out Winter Harbour, Port Alice, and others but didn't have the time. So much to explore up there. Even driving back thru little Campbell River felt like culture...

Thanks! Yeah San Josef is regarded as one of the top beaches around (along with some Tofino beaches). Being so remote definitely adds to it. Still, the parking lot was nearly full on a weekday, so words getting around. And all sorts of vehicles were there (we saw some new-model Camero's heading...

Not many fancy vacations planned this year but when you live on Vancouver Island, the "non-fancy" getaways are still pretty darn sweet! Had the rooftop tent but we wanted to kayak and not take the kayak off every night so I was able to slide the RTT fully to the right side and fit a j-rack on...

Currently have a Adarac bed rack system and RTT on top. Been planning a trip and wanting to take a double-kayak (but not put it on the RTT). It looks like I'll be able to fit the kayak next to the RTT but the spacing of the verticals worries me (too narrow) so I'm looking to add a roof rack to...

Very cool! Why the heck doesn't Ford just allow for full depth of that storage? Is it particularly difficult to reach?

As far as I'm concerned, it's a MANDATORY stop from now on! Haha

Good to know! We'll keep it on all summer now that camping season is here (I put a RTT on top) but I do like that it can come off if I want to do something that might damage the pins/rails.

Dude it's DELICIOUS! Seriously some of the best burritos I've ever had.

Nice! Our “princess pup” (70lb lab) rides in the back seat, but if we had 2 we’d probably do the same. And that sounds safer than leaving the back rolled up. How often do you remove/install it? It’s on again for the rest of the summer for us then we’ll take it off/on a few times thru the...

Shoutout to Softopper - it may not be for everyone but it's been working well for us so far! One aspect I'm liking is the ability to access side/front of the bed when it's up. Buttoning up isn't always fun/easy but generally it's just 5min of cursing then it's done, lol! For a recent trip to...

Definitely not. The idea of “shovel ready” manufacturing plants plans/materials just waiting around ready to execute is unrealistic. Back in the day, say WW2 era, it happened. It wasn’t all roses and butterflies, btw: lots of graft, misuse of funds, shoddy deals, etc. The plants were FAR less...

Personally I would love to see more manufacturing in the US (well, North America anyway). More manufacturing here has a lower carbon footprint. But reality right now is almost every small manufacturer goes to China. There’s lots of stories out there; one was Alan Cook (Apple) or Steve Jobs...

I give the US a lot of credit for innovation and adaptability. But I don’t think ppl give enough respect for how hard it is to start up manufacturing, whether greenfield or brownfield. Some points: - buildings take years to plan/fund/build, especially a manufacturing plant. Sure China can...

A good PNW BC Saturday: paddle in the morning, then a cubic yard of gravel before lunch (two trips of half-yard, which is roughly 1400-1500 lbs; it's cool to see the truck squat as the bobcat pours the gravel in, haha!) I also really like the Adarac system - 8 bolts and the racks are off in...

XLT all day baby, haha! Knock on wood, I’ve been super happy with mine. The 302A options are fantastic (and 360 camera is a lifesaver). There’s honestly nothing else I feel I need (or actually want). 56k km and 26 mos so far, gotten me and family everywhere we’ve needed to be safely and...

Same with my 22. And the rear lens gets yucky all the time. But adding one would have been a pain, for sure. Just one more thing to dis-X/re-connx when the tailgate comes off (not sure how often that happens but since it CAN come off, it shouldn’t be hard)

I’ll say one thing: this has unified Canada like nothing I’ve seen in 9 yrs. So good job, I guess? Everything I’ve read and seen is: anger, betrayal, frustrated, confused. US and Can have been allies for roughly 200+ yrs. On the military side, they are the closest allies along with UK and Aus...

Agreed about the wasted space. I wish there were aftermarket options, I know I would use that volume. The truck has TONS of storage but I can always use more, lol! Someone swapped a work surface between trucks a few years ago - it DID looks like a huge PITA.

This, would definitely want this!!! I’m surprised that no one has attempted this as an after-market mod. The cameras feed into a computer(s), so cannot their feed be spliced off and saved on a SIM card? I’m guessing they don’t have a bespoke connection (but these are automobiles so probably...
