I basically have this setup: Foldable camping toilet and privacy tent.
I then use Walmart WAG bags.
I place used ones in a dry bag that is usually strapped outside the vehicle.
Those tube fenders turned out great! I wonder how something like that would look on my 1st gen Tacoma... I haven't seen anyone do it, but the OEM fenders are unobtanium.
Is the best place to watch the Dakar not-live on YouTube? I've always wanted to watch, but I'm unsure where to watch. All I find on YouTube are clips and old stuff.
Recent pic of a quick trip to the Hoh Rainforest in Washington.
Since I've never seen a pic/vid of anyone using a hatch ladder with a RTT. It works well, only downside is with multiple people (me/wife/kid) you limit getting in/out of the tent since it requires the hatch closed which is also...
Just a little food for thought too- My 285 BFGoodrich KO3 are an entire inch skinner than my 285 Duratracs. Differences in manufactures and all that. But pretty shocking to measure the actual difference.
They're 1x2 little cube (rectangle) lights... I don't know if the aesthetic would work. I think I'm gonna give ditch lights a go and see if that works well enough for me. Otherwise I'll cut holes in the bumper and recess them but that's more work haha.
Post-Tahuya. I need to figure out a good spot to put some 1x2 or 2x2 pod lights on the front end. I'm having a hard time finding a good spot. I kinda like the clean solid front bumper and don't wanna cut holes in it.
A buddy of mine lives in Sweden and has used a tent with an open bottom like this for many years. His area of Sweden is pretty dry, but still he finds he HAS to dry the tent out thoroughly before closing it up using a diesel heater. I live in the PNW and agree, I don't know if an open bottom...
Some very thoughtful features, I like it!
The biggest takeaway for me is that the vertical supports that need to be installed might be difficult since you have to reach up to the top to extend/engage them. Maybe standing on the top of the ladder or reaching from inside the tent out a window...
I primarily use Gaia for vehicular travel although I do use it for hiking occasionally too. So I've always been interested in OnX since they promote vehicular travel a lot more and seem to be invested in OHV avocation and the community. I haven't switched because Gaia offers a lot more...
Radiator guard looks nice. The 1st gen radiators drop so low! I've wondered if there's a comparable radiator out there that's slightly thicker, but shorter or something that I could swap in so that the radiator is tucked more up.
Thank you for sharing that trip, looks like it was awesome! So fun that your son was able to join. I have a 4 y.o. and we go camping a lot, but I'm on the cusp of starting to bring him on my "solo" more intense outings. It was fun to see you take him along with you.-
I usually try to book a 4+ weeks in advance, earlier if possible. It gets really booked up, especially in the summer and around Labor Day. I went to Victoria over Labor Day weekend, but we walked on.
