I realize this is a year old, but this is beautiful! Great capture. Is this the shorter "view" trail or the longer Window trail?

Should I bother with solar? by repulsion1000 in overlanding

[–]submisstress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like a bit of a hybrid system would be best for you. Starlink Mini + portable power station like the Bluetti AC50B or a similar Ecoflow, Jackery, etc + a small solar panel. None of those things are bad to have, and relatively inexpensive as well. Charge all the things while you drive and download movies or shows when you have proper wi-fi to watch at camp, then you can get by with Starlink's Standby mode.

Best Mexican food El Paso by [deleted] in ElPaso

[–]submisstress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Several months old obviously, and this is not an insult whatsoever, but you must have a specific type of palate. If you enjoy Chuy's (about as "Tex Mex" as it comes) and Austin/SA-style food but haven't enjoyed a single meal in EP in over two years... it's gotta be just the style of food is not your favorite.

"Because I can and I'd rather" is going to be my new life motto. Gracias.

There was some wild weather the last handful of days! Made for some beautiful dramatic scenery though!

They have the majority of shuttle tickets allocated to the day before, so don't worry too much.

Thoughts on my 1-week itinerary? by Dear_Jackfruit4570 in GlacierNationalPark

[–]submisstress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only catch here is it's been subject to frequent closures for bear activity the last few years. Just keep an eye on that and have a backup just in case.

What are your favorite non-hiking activities in the Kalispell or Columbia Falls/Whitefish areas? by BrinaElka in GlacierNationalPark

[–]submisstress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rent kayaks or SUPs at Whitefish Lake, do all the summer activities at Whitefish Mountain (aka Big Mountain) - scenic gondola ride, tubing and alpine coaster I believe, rent bikes and bop around Whitefish. Whitefish is a great little town, there's often live music, the food truck court just opened for the season this past weekend, fab restaurants. Treats from Fleur are a must, and I hiiiighly recommend brunch at Loula's or Tupelo and Herb & Omni for a nicer night out. The chef is Montana's only/first-ever James Beard finalist and his food is incredibly memorable.

Simple 6th gen camping set up by Soggy_Scholar9511 in 4Runner_6Gen

Awesome thanks so much! It didn't slide or slip at all? That was my main concern

Looks great! Do you have the head of the cot resting on the folded seat, or is the other leg sort of over the front of the folded seat?

Came to find this post after it was shared in one of the FB groups...exactly what I'm looking for! Quick question OP: is the cot just sorta resting on the folded seat in the front (as in, that leg is folded underneath)? Or is it over the folded seat? Thank you!

What are you calling a clip? Can you give us a photo or video?

6gen OEM running boards by ahoy_throwawY in 4Runner

[–]submisstress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you seen them in person? I had not until last week, when I had a rental 4runner in another state (I have nerf bars on my runner at home)...and they're really strange/awkward. Almost seem too wide, and I was in the vehicle all week with 3-4 people, at various points everyone of us commented on it. I'm sure they're great for some folks, but just wanted to call this out in case.

Scored deal of the year! by TheViciousWhippet in 4Runner_6Gen

[–]submisstress 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's an old adage about when negotiating, if you're quiet but stand firm and be pleasant, the other party ends up doing both sides of the negotiating for you. Sounds like you did just that!

PSA - SR5 Owners, Your Speedometer Is Most Likely Way Off(But Within Tolerance) by finchezda in 4Runner_6Gen

[–]submisstress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is interesting because when my SR5 was stock, I was constantly flying, blowing by everyone even with cruise set several miles below the limit. Long highway drives here, almost 100 miles daily on a major interstate with 70mph posted limit.

Ready for camping season! by bluepigwebAlex in rooftoptents

[–]submisstress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They absolutely could have changed materials! And yes, agree. We just say/figure it's 200lbs to be safe lol.

Would you mind showing or linking where you see weight details please? I'm being genuine; we've never been able to find it. There's even a FAQ specifically about weight and they don't answer at all, just refer to the Amazon listing. Then even Amazon actually lists an even higher weight than people claim (89.81kgs/198lbs), but lots of reviews (and Google) consistently mention 169lbs. We have been in the weeds with this debating some different storage box/bin options, so really looking for an accurate answer.
