A Tarp for the Toad

Some of the roads we anticipate traveling in Alaska are bound to be rough on our vehicles. Gravel ... dirt, both packed and loose ... stretches of frost heaves and potholes. The toad will be especially vulnerable when it is being towed as it can’t distance itself from any debris the Cruiser might throw up behind it.

So, we stole an idea from blogger friends Mona Liza and Steve ... a tarp to cover the hood and windshield of the CR-V. For a bit of extra protection for the windshield, we sandwiched bits and pieces of felt we had lying around the house between two tarps. A couple of bungee cords make the installation easy peasy.もっと詳しく
