    Fantastic - and inspiring. Almost enough - close to it - to make me move out west again. :)

    Trasharoo - Knock-off - Clearance Promark Brand Heavy Duty Trail Bag

    ^^ Finding a good Large Ruck will cost $50. Then have to be messed with to fit. :-) I sort of like purpose-built stuff at times.

    2006 Expedition Expedition. My truck as 'expedition' written all over it

    Thanks! of course! Thank you - I have thicker padding for the sleeping side - unsure if I want to mount it. Will figure it out though. I did! It's near the rolled carpet and what-not. Packs of 6 or 9 1 sq foot, interlocking mats. I just do not know. I know it's in GA, so it's possible.

    Another brilliant DIY mod...

    Like you mentioned - WHERE the weight is matters too - your set up is probably fine, because the weight seems inboard vs sticking out on racks. But - probably is a terrible word. Keep testing - and let us know how it works out, please? :) Darin Puyallup, WA 2005-2008

    Tent for long term use

    Rob - perhaps check some Military-surplus outlets? Maybe you can find a decent deal there. Also - need a driver or assistant? Sounds like a GREAT adventure! :D

    Broken steering...on the trail...40 miles from nearest town

    That's a GREAT story. Frankly, when things go wrong is when people tend to bond the strongest. I don't have to tell you that - thank you for your service. I contend until folks understand 'The Suck' that can happen, they cannot fully appreciate the 'awesome'. When I was a Bradley-mounted...

    2006 Expedition Expedition. My truck as 'expedition' written all over it

    Over the weekend I started building my sleeping platform inside my truck. Awhile ago - last december, I test-slept in the back with the seats down. I found the experience bumpy and uncomfortable - despite trying the fill the cracks with all sorts of stuff. (That last sentence deserves a...

    campsite pics..lets see um

    My son and I 'hiked' to the back yard and set this up a couple summers ago, as he and I played 'survive the zombies' game (hence the .22 in the pic). The net gave great shade - confession; we drove the net and poles out there :)
