Driving from Florida to Texas and took a short detour to Arkansas and into the Ozark National Forest. In the Pig Trail managed to see some nice shots of the Mulberry river and even saw some deer on my way out. Very cool and very humbling.
I wrestled with this same question a couple years ago when the rambox options first came out.... at the time I gave it a shot and honestly.....its hit or miss depending on what you plan on doing. The biggest negative factor that I remember was, yes, they do limit some available space in the bed...
Growing up in the north west, we always had at least a 30-30 lever with us when camping. Never knew what kind of surprises (2 or 4 legged) would pop up. Now, living in the south east, its at least a 9mm pistol..... (also for the 2 and 4 legged ones)
Just purchased some new shocks for my truck....have to balance it as a DD/Kid Mover and part-time off-road camper. Plan on installing them sometime in the next couple weeks once all the rain stops.
Hi! Charlie currently in Miami as well. Welcome. Its kinda tough being all the way down south but if you're willing to travel a bit.. you can get a nice taste of overlanding.
I can't blame the OP.... I love the look of a used/beat up vehicle that has been on multiple adventures.....but.... that vehicle probably has all the paint dulled and or coming off.....i can't picture actively going out to ruin the paint because of branches and such.... I kinda like the clean...
So this will take some time and not the best option if you want to do trails often....but..... I've seen it so a person uses Plasti-Dip on the common areas and once it dries, applies skate board tape on top of the Plasti-Dip. They go out on trails, get up close to some pointy nature stuff, and...

There are a good amount of full size rigs here... check out the link. I'd still steer you towards a "Bow Tie" personally, but, to each their own :)
I have both plus a large smart phone. It really depends on what you want to do with the item. For ease of use and quick access, your phone or tablet is the way to go. However, because of their design, they aren't the best for working on business tasks editing. I know some will argue that with...
I used nothing but Snap-On the whole time in the military. My own personal tool collection was composed of nothing but Craftsman in the past. Now, I've realized that different tool sets for different tasks make life easier. The tool kit I have in my truck is composed of Craftsman, Dewalt...
With technology advancing in this field, what is the best way to go when it comes to solar panels and or chargers? I live in south florida and would like to get something I can use out on the trails or camping but still have handy in the event of hurricanes.
I use either short velcro straps cinched tight or some duct tape.... i usually roll or fold the excess and put a layer round it.... the weight is usually heavy enough to prevent it from flapping in the wind. Maybe a zip tie depending on how long/heavy
Merrell boots have always worked for me. I like their Mid and Low designs. I haven't tried the High-tops yet though but I have always heard good things. Throughout my time in the military, I also wore Matterhorn boots.... very comfortable after broken in and the leather is very forgiving (if you...
