    Need Expedition planning/estimating help...

    Everyone's laughing at my Kane Creek statement. I know it's probably mild for you guys - but that's okay. I haven't wheeled it so I don't know. Later.

    Need Expedition planning/estimating help...

    Thanks for your input Zukey. Vehicles will be new Rubicons. Not likely to get much breakage going over Elephant Hill. I'm not going to be doing extreme trails (like Kane Creek or something like that). Already looking into insurance, waivers, etc. I would think having an EMT would be smart -...

    Thanks guys. I'm already aware of the need for licensing and insurance. And thanks for reminding me to get all the business/legal end of it taken care of. I'll have to figure out all the fees and see how that looks. I haven't kept up on the latest laws, so thanks Kurt for mentioning the new...

    Excuse me, what did you mean by that? These are customers, most of whom I haven't met. I've already led trips with friends and I know how it can get. I've enjoyed all your helpful business advice. Thanks.

    Need Expedition planning/estimating help...

    Thanks Kurt, for the info. That helps me for the estimating part. It may end up that this trip will be a 'non-profit outing with volunteers.' No profit, but everything will hopefully be covered for expenses (including insurance if needed). I'll do more research regarding the laws for groups...

    Need Expedition planning/estimating help...

    Just to clarify: I never said "elaborate and unnecessary" when referring to my kitchen set-up. On the contrary - I go with a very spartan kitchen, but I know that things like, "I use an all-propane set up with my lantern, stove, etc." is actually a helpful statement, and at the same time, not...

    Need Expedition planning/estimating help...

    Hey Cody, I appreciate those notes. We'll be keeping it to about 4 vehicles (unless each one really wants to be a driver). I agree that when leading a group there's a lot of time just spent training and educating the drivers. I like to cover the basics in a small meeting, then when we're on...

    Need Expedition planning/estimating help...

    At this point I'm only paying an EMT/First Aid responder. Camp helpers get free room & board :), all expenses paid, great scenery, lots of fresh air and exercise.

    Need Expedition planning/estimating help...

    Lol! :D You guys have me cracking up. But this is fun. Let me clarify what I meant earlier. Just asking for your methods that make life easier on the trail when catering to a group of 10 guys. That's the one variable in this for me. I like the $80 Nalley's. That cracked me up. I'll just have...

    I didn't ask for smart alecky remarks! :rofl: I've already led groups - just asking for input from you blokes. (Guess that was a mistake!) And YES - I know about estimating gas, vehicle rentals and stuff. I've done it before with smaller groups (backpacking trips, hiking, biking, and Jeep...

    Need Expedition planning/estimating help...

    I'm working on a proposal to lead a 4WD Expedition in so. Utah next spring w/ about 10 guys. I need help in the planning and $$ estimating phase. These guys will be renting Jeeps, which will add significantly to the overall trip price, and I'm trying to keep it under $700 per person (that's even...

    Questions on '92 Toyota transfer case...

    So what does it take to swap in the t-case from a 4cyl truck? Is there a lot of hassle doing that? You mentioned the adapter from Marlin - does that take care of it? What about driveshaft lengths and stuff - any additional things to consider in that mod?

    It's a V6, manual 5 speed. I'll check those things that were mentioned. Probably this weekend when I get a chance.

    Questions on '92 Toyota transfer case...

    I've got a '92 Toyota Ex Cab Pickup and recently wrecked my transfer case after about 4 days straight of crawling in 4LO. At least I think it's the transfer case. A mechanic in Green River thought that's what it is. I'm getting a bunch of clicking :-\ and chattering :( underneath when I drive -...
