Looks great!

What tonneau cover do you have? Curious how well it works with the rack. I have a backflip on my Silverado and its one of my concerns with the rack...although I’m dying to get the rack anywa.
I also have a back flip. It will not fold up with the rack on but it still provides me with security along with weather proofing.

It is a back flip, it will not open with the rack installed but offers security and that I like.

Been doing a fair amount of traveling and loving every minute of it! We have added a portable power source to our setup as well as traction boards and rotopax for fuel and water storage. I upgraded our camp stove out of necessity (the old one is not working the best) to a propane stove. This has allowed us to buy a 5 lb propane bottle to run the few but necessary appliances we bring on our trips! Cheeers!

Nice set up. I will be replacing my tire and wheel set up soon to be more off-roadable. Right now its still street tires with 20" wheel as stock set up. I would like to get 17" or 18" wheels max., and go with either 285/75R17 or 295/70R18. I don't want to have to do a body mount chop.
My tundra is a TRD Sport set up.

Have not posted in a while on this thread, here is a look at the Tundra as of lately. We sold the tent and bed rack and bought a new Four Wheel Camper. We love this thing! we have put on about 8k miles since arriving in October added some modifications we wanted and could not be happier.

Very Nice, I was leaning more towards the Alu Cab myself with Ok4WD for my Ram, but I think I'll end up with an HQ BlackSeries 17 or 19 in the next year since I have 3 overgrown puppies that travel with me. Did you upgrade the power supply or go with the options that come with the camper? Even with the HQ BS 4x100ah batteries I would upgrade to SOK's Marine Grade 206AH LiFePO4's.
Thanks for sharing, can't wait to see the adventures you go on with this sweet new setup. Safe Travels!

We upgraded the power supply to a Redarc Manager 30 with Color Display Screen and 100ah Battle born. We are not doing solar for now as the Manager 30 charges things so quick when the truck is running or if we plug into shore at home we are holding off. We did the install on this at home but had Overland Power solutions bundle the kit for us. Could not be happier. We have seen the Black Series good stuff! Great for for base camp!
