I like the tonneau cover look too. But I was referring to just an empty fibreglass topper. Like a "cap-it topper".
When I used a topper, I hated the look. Looked like a grandpa truck. Lol
My RTT in the cold weather is pretty much the same as every tent that I've owned. I open a window just to keep the condensation down.
Under the mattress I also use a masonry ventilation mat. That helps immensely for mattress moisture. Either way, I'm always careful to dry it out when I get...
I've been reading up on the area, but haven't spent a lot of time there. Did some of Grey creek pass last year, but it was too early in the season, and the snow turned me back. Definitely on my to do list.
I've tried a few different configurations. Eventually moving away from them for various reasons over the last 20 years. Here are a couple of my notes:
1. Started with a 1/2 ton truck & Fiberglass topper. Loved the setup in the bush. The fact that it never leaked was a huge bonus...
I'll have to take some photos sometime, but let's just say it's "very very carefully"...
If I can, I put the kids bikes up top, and mine on the bumper carrier. It's easiest that way. But any bike I do put up top, I have 2 12' folding ramps from Diamond back. See photo below from their...
Sliders, again, were a mad rush before heading out to Moab. I ordered months ahead of time, but custom ain’t fast, and not a lot of people make sliders for a Tundy. I sourced them from Cruisin Off road out of the Fraser Valley, BC. LOVE his stuff, and he did an awesome job.
It was so close...
Blacked out badges… Chrome and I do not get a long. It tends to tarnish in rough service, like… Being outside. Ever. How annoying. I think in slightly better climes it’s easier to keep clean, but up here it’s annoyingly smudged any time I turn my back. From what I’ve heard you can clean...
Minor tweak. The shiny Volant advertisement in my snorkel had to go.
That snorkel screen was my first attempt. I re-cut and did a better job on the corners later
Clever piece of kit...
Did a fairly major install. I broke my antenna on a trip. Or more accurately a tree grabbed the antenna and tore it off (Along with a window shade).
I just installed the replacement. A 28" antenna from Www.nestahedition.com with the spring adapter.
And yes. I...
Heh Heh. Clifford got some more minor additions... ARB air locker installed, and functional. Volant Snorkel in and ready to go for a swim!
4 Wheel Auto did the heavy lifting for me. Thank goodness. What they expected to be a 2 day job turned into a 4.5 day ordeal. I think I have some...
The Roof top Tent. Kijiji find. New in box “outpost” model by www.Wildcoasttents.com. All I had to do is pick it up in Calgary.
It’s pretty big for an RTT. With a sleeping area of 1.9m x 2.4m, plus the annex of 2.1m x 2.1m it fits the 5 of us, and poochy reasonably well.
I love...
174L Transfer flow fuel tank, and Odyssey Battery.
Yes. I replaced a perfectly good fuel tank and Battery for no good reason. My farmer father is rolling over in his… Couch. But the stock battery in Clifford AND the last Tundra was shit. Pardon my French. The battery in the old Tundy got...
Bushwacker fender flares. Went with the non-pocket version. Makes Clifford look like a fleet truck, but with fire engine red I’m going to get that anyway, so I might as well enjoy it.
A bumper like this definitely needed some lights. Added 9.5” ARB Intensity. One spot light and one flood light. Spot on the drivers side, flood on the passenger.
Wow. I think from my house I can blind people across town. Even in daylight, if I hit the switch I can see the reflection in...
After a year or so I decided on some more “minor” mods. First the ARB deluxe bumper and Warn XRC 10k synthetic rope winch. I travel a lot alone (that includes all my friends), or with 2 boys with me and needed self recovery. I went with ARB because I liked the looks, and durability. Warn XRC...
First, leather and heated seats. The TRD Off-road was my trim of choice, but I also wanted the leather & heated seats, so adding the seats was cheaper.
www.Diamondbackcover.com – coated. LOVE this cover. This is my second cover, the first was aluminum checker plate and eventually...
