A Forester or OB would make a great platform for a long solo trip.

I look forward to seeing how you build out yours.

The concept of a vehicle like this is very appealing and I like the fact that somebody out there is dedicated to making these things.

But the practical reality of something this large just...

Great report and pics. Thanks for taking the time to share these.

DV is an incredible place. We were there for 4 days last weekend exploring many of the same places. I was most impressed with...

Thanks for taking the time to share pics and details.

I am heading to DV on Thursday and have a very similar route planned.

This is a very interesting and helpful thread.

Thanks

I bought my Surly Troll from the nice folks at Topanga Creek Cycles. A very well run shop.

Congrats on the new bike.

Saw two ERs up in the Eastern Sierras last week. Both on hwy395. One yesterday a bit north of Red Rock Canyon looked to be brand new with all the farkles. Very nice rigs.

The news around Ford's "new" Transit is getting brighter for many of us. Quigley is planning to offer a 4x4 conversion.

If "survival" meant having to live in the wilderness and be self sufficient for an unknown and possibly extended time period, I'd go with a Beeman R7 .177 cal air rifle. These can easily take small...

Not sure how I missed this thread......but I'm a troll fan too!

I've had mine for about 6 months and it gets ridden more than all my other bikes combined.

Most of my rides are 50/50 road and...

I'd rather have the ATs over the MTs too. But my van weighs 10.5-11k so the higher load rating is a priority. I'll send Toyo an email and ask why they dropped the load rating on their New E rated...

Just catching up on this thread............

Trying to find sizing information on the new Toyo AT 2 in the extreme sizes is an exercise in frustration. Toyo's website is a joke.

Unfortunately,...

Great report and pics, thanks.

I'm embarrassed to say that my group was stopped by over-heating problems on the "easy" route in from the Bishop side last summer. My friend replaced his radiator 2...

I've explored DV with 3 kids every January around MLK weekend for the past 5 years.

That is my preferred time of year to visit because it is relatively empty, and I think DV is most beautiful when...

Thanks for the detailed report and pics.

I'm heading into DV next month and will follow a similar route with the kids. It is very helpful to have a report with current road conditions, especially...

I think this is great news.

In addition, Quigley has announced that they will offer a 4x4 conversion on the new Transit van.

Fully agree. It is bacically a mob of cyclists ignoring traffic laws and riding in an unsafe and annoying manner. Fun, maybe. Smart, heck no.

I've just grown my personal fleet to three bikes.

Chumba XCL
Chumba VF2
Surly troll

5" trail bikes fit my riding needs best. Everything from the bike park to the bike path.

The latest...

I was glad to see this news and hope it delivers us some great choices.

As much as I love the SMB, I'm approaching a stage in life where more interior room and comfort are necessary.

My...

Thanks for the report and pics. Always makes me want to get up there asap. Hopefully in a week or two...........

I was in a similar situation. Had a purpose built MTB, and wanted a utility bike that could do many things. Cargo capacity, simplicity and flexibility were key considerations. After much research,...

Wow!

But let me guess.......this is not available in the US market right?

Very likely that I'll give a 29er a try this year. I've got two 26" wheeled bikes and have ridden that size wheel for 20 years. Much of my MTB riding is on steep, rocky and technical trails where I...

Thanks for the info, congrats on the new rig and looking forward to more updates.

Thanks for the report and pics.

DV reports never get old.
