Guest, we will be conducting site maintenance this week and some downtime is expected. At this time Rally Point and the Member Map will also become an app-only feature for long-term security and stability. A few days after this maintenance, a major upgrade revision to the forum site will occur.
...the gold standard for this country boy! As I think back, those were the years I got lost trying to find myself. Maybe that’s why I did well in the military? Always in the woods, at peace most of the time and comfortable sleeping in a tent!! Wish I could remember the mil-spec name…..from the 80s..
We’ve been all over the Big Bend region and the rest of the country in basically stock vehicles. The old Rubicon had “ heavy” old man emu springs to support the extra weight without too much sag and our 96 Landcruiser had OME springs for a heavy load. Each vehicle had 33” rubber. Plenty...
...areas.
In my teens I would camp with friends and have the opportunity to make mistakes without fear of being admonished...like setting up the tent in a wash-out, and only after it rained would we realize the mistake, scamper uphill and set a new camp. One we error wouldn't make again. But...
The most id be out is probably a week, Im just tryna get out there lol. I ditched my back seat, definitely ground tent. I found a sliding rack system that i like alot so ill be adding that to the setup to carry all my gear.
What are your overlanding/trip plans, how long? ground tent? roof top tent? trailer? self sufficient or going as a group? keeping the back seat or ditching it? More information given will probably help people offer more help.
With any luck the new tent will be here Wednesday. i have a plan for the mounts but ti may be a scrample to get it on the roof.
I will keep you all posted.
...I'm glad there was still space available.
One Question - One Offer
1. Any chance we can make a 15 minute stop at the Banff NP Visitor Center? (assuming we will be driving past or near it)
2. If you need an extra set of hands to mount that tent I saw in the forum, I can get there early on the...
CVT Pioneer Mt Rainier sleeps 4 extended fly with annex room and sleeping bag, located in central California $1500 also have the bed rack its a CaliRaised fits a long bed tacoma $500 for the bed rack
Yea when i use to live in Arizona we did a lot of wheeling around the Buckeye, AZ area so definitely not afraid to wheel, unless it calls for some sort of lift since im stock on 35s lol. I'm definitely up for some trails around Texas when I'm in town since most of the stuff around us requires to...
...to use. A jeep is more than capable factory to tackle just about everything you'll see here. Get out and explore. A cooler, a camp stove, and a ground tent can carry you a week. You're never far enough out to extra fuel cans or need a solid weeks worth of food, just hit the store on the way by.
...tested a few RTTs over the years and space plus bedding storage is always a deal-breaker for me. There are several options in the hard shell rooftop tent collection that fit 3–4 comfortably and can close with your bedding inside. Some even include built-in mattresses that are actually...
don't worry about the limit. if we had a full list and had folks messaging me it'd be different, but we're good.
Sucks about the tent! hopefully they can get it turned around in a reasonable timeframe! All the spots I intend to camp will have plenty of room for the gazelle if push comes to...
I might pull out of this one. The new tent showed up damaged so I refued it.
Given that this was a 5 truck limit I don't want to take someones place that wants to go.
What we need is a cheap micro mini nuclear reactor for individual use. Maybe we could get old Elon on that since he's now only semi-occupied. :grinning:
...rear steel bumpers, front winch and some lights. Also have a swing out rear tire carrier that bolts to the rear bumper. Smittybilt xl roof top tent I will toss in that was installed on the truck. It is not currently on the truck.
I also have a full 2005 parts Tacoma to go with it. It’s not...
...fist and suction cup (seasucker mount, things are great for everything and can be ordered from moon), the awning is pin through fabric like a tent and is held together with a hook loop carabiner. AND THEY SAY, it packs smaller than a yoga mat. I don't know what that is but here is a regular...
