    Yup! mostly target first 5 miles above ocean. Nothing beats a hot steelhead screaming across the river and doing cartwheels in the air!

    Small coastal streams in Oregon. I have tried to eat steelhead every which way and just cannot like any preparation other than smoked so they all go to friends/clients.

    Rear end sag

    Decided to stick with the factory wheels and had the 285 75 ko2's installed today- No rub from my short test drive but the SLIP light came on rounding a sharp corner at normal speed. Hmmmm

    Rear end sag

    Finally had the OME kit installed- They were able to remove the bolts and install new set. After adding the OME kit the front end was an inch lower so back apart it all came to put the 1.5' leveling kit. Now for tires- My understanding from reading as much as I can find is the largest tire I...

    Accessing roof top?

    I would never have them up there for anything other than short trips- Good gear is not cheap. Amazes me to see guys driving around with rods sticking out over the tailgate

    Accessing roof top?

    Majority of the time I have to park on very uneven terrain alongside forest roads so the step ladder probably would not work They work great for transporting rods between holes. I have a strap system on the roof inside for getting them to the river but once I put them together (9'-11') they...

    Accessing roof top?

    Installed yakima fishing rod rack on roof but kind of a pain to access- stepping on the factory bars kind of awkward when parked on a slope. Yes I know most think they are worthless but this is my fishing machine and not a crawler. Looking for an alternative that has better platform to stand on...
