Okay... Hope I put this in the right place. Having a hard time figuring out the structure of the forum. Question: For serious back country overlanding would you do a) a truck camper or B) a class C converted to 4WD (like what these guys do... Not affiliated... Just the first Google reault:4x4...

Got the camping box installed in my rig (still need to finish drawers and all the bells and whistles). Want to install second battery this fall. Just went out to measure and I can't see where I'll fit a second battery under the hood. The big empty space is a little too small. Any reason I...

Thanks! I'll have to wait a few weeks for it to warm up. Cold winter in MD this year.

I'm starting this project with a camping box and drawers in the back. Have already removed the seats and I'm drawing up the plans right now. I also want to soundproof the truck. It's pretty loud now that the seats are removed. I'm looking for a coating I can use on the truck itself and the...

Thanks for this tip! Planning to build a dinoot!

Thanks for the info! Maybe this year will be my build year

Hi all...wasn't sure what forum this would fit in. So let me know if there's a better place. I'm outfitting my Chevy Tracker with an internal "camping box" (i.e., drawers, sleeping platform). I want to make it waterproof and little more rugged. After a little online research it seems like a...

So I recently learned that there's some good undercoating out there to prevent rust and minor dings. Not the fake stuff that the car dealership trys to upsell, but thick, rugged coating that might actually work. Some initial questions. 1) Should I have this done? Others' experiences good or...

Hey there... I'm new in the process, too. And currently changing direction... I think. Rig: I have a Chevy Tracker, so not a lot of power. I found the Dinoot trailer as one option for something our little thing could pull. Still will probably build. The con is that there's a lot of money in...

Probably still says I live in LA. We just moved back to MD :( Sent from my VS990 using OB Talk mobile app

Thanks for the aluminum floor tip, Don! I've been thinking about what might be better lighter than wood, so this is a great rec!

Hi folks! Seems like there's a few Dinoot builders on the forum, but I didn't see a thread for general Dinoot topics, so I thought I'd start one. The Tventuring forums at Dinoot.com seem to be down again. First question: Does anyone have a build parts weight list they'd be willing to share...

Great documentation! Thanks! I'm going to have to read more closely. Starting my Dinoot build this spring.

Awesome! Thanks for sharing. I'm starting my build planning. Scott at Dinoot has been an amazing help.

Thanks! I know there's forest out there...now hoping there's contiguous trail! :)
