Recreation Outlet has a "-25" sleeping bag for $49 this weekend. Maybe if Eric buys two he won't get cold at night anymore.

Yes please, wonder if it will ever make it to the US. A raptor ranger could be good enough competition to the tacoma to make it worth while for ford to get in the "mini" truck game again here.

Also how much do kidney's go for these days because I want one.

I'm guessing that Ford was waiting to see how the diesel Colorado was doing before thinking about coming back into the small truck world.

I'm still holding out for an Ecoboost Bronco though.

The diesel one and the fancy offroading ZR-2. I've been in the Denver area this week, I've seen a bunch of ZR-2s. Pretty sweet rigs.

by **Kevin** on Wed Feb 07, 2018 10:23 am

Somebody was telling me that the ZR2 doesn't have lockers. Just traction control and Bilsteins. That kinda makes it a little less fancy, but I'm sure most of the buyers don't care.

by **dutchman** on Wed Feb 07, 2018 11:01 am

According to Car and Driver, the ZR2 has electric lockers front and rear.

1986 Toyota Pickup http://www.ksl.com/auto/listing/4605986

I guess my question is why haven't I seen more of these? I would be more inclined to get a set up like this, than a full-size camper for my 3/4 ton Chevy. They do have more collapsible style campers nowadays I guess.

by **Kevin** on Thu Apr 05, 2018 12:45 am

Ad's gone. What was it, a Chinook or one of the other camper conversions?

by MacKay on Thu Apr 05, 2018 8:52 am

It was an '85 toyota pickup with a a camper conversion. So it had a shell over the bed, and the roof hinged forward like an rtt basically. Couldn't tell if it was 2wd or 4wd, but they were only asking 3k for the whole truck and camper.

by **Kevin** on Thu Apr 05, 2018 9:05 am

That sounds like a Wildernest shell. Those are cool, I wish I could get one for my bed.

by MacKay on Thu Apr 05, 2018 9:13 am

Doing some googling, I'm thinking it was a Flip Pac Camper Shell. It looked similar to this, just in a the bed of a little pickup.

by TRD270 on Thu Apr 05, 2018 11:33 am

I'm 90% sure it was an older flip pac, the truck was 2wd. The price was worth the flip pac, not shocked its already gone

I wonder if my RZR would fit on the back of that

by **Kevin** on Thu Apr 12, 2018 12:46 am

That needs a camper on the back so very very bad.

Also a motor swap. That little 2.4 diesel will get you there, but not very fast.

I have a question and was hoping for an opinion (informed or uninformed) from the club, particularly those who may work in law enforcement. Is it at all possible to track down a vehicle that was previously sold? So in 1967 my grandpa bought a brand new Mercury Cougar. My dad drove it all through high school and kept it as he raised us kids. My two older brothers drove it through high school as well. Dad ended up selling it in like 2005 to a guy here in Utah. We've had seller's remorse ever since and would love to track down that car and pay way too much money to get it back. Now Hollywood has probably skewed my perception of what is possible to track down a vehicle (let alone what is legal). And there's a decent chance that car has been wrecked, or parted out, and it may have changed hands a few times if it is still intact. I guess what I'm asking is this, is it possible at all to track down the current owner? Even to just get a name? I've currently been searching muscle/classic car facebook groups to search for anyone who owns a 1967 Cougar and haven't gotten very far.

by TRD270 on Fri Apr 13, 2018 1:19 pm

Get me a VIN I can tell you if its in Utah still, but can't release any owner information

by **dutchman** on Wed Apr 18, 2018 2:44 pm

Maybe this one?!
