    Turns out I need a real truck. Kindly help me choose one!

    Well, for starters, I have the double cab (6.5 ft bed) not the crewmax. I don’t know if that changes things for you. I built my own cabinets/storage with 8020 aluminum and 3/4” birchwood cabinet tops. In hindsight, I would have gone with the smaller size aluminum to save more weight. That...

    Turns out I need a real truck. Kindly help me choose one!

    Interesting. My Alu Cabin on my Tundra, loaded, bed built out, etc.. comes in 200-400 lbs below both axle ratings based on what I bring. Haven’t had one issue in almost two years of having it on my truck. Regardless, enjoy the new truck shopping. You’ll love the set up.

    Hunting Truck/Trailer Set ups geared towards hunting

    Alu Cabin on my Tundra has been ideal for my upland season in the Dakotas/Montana and Idaho. Love the set up.

    Insulating a topper

    I used the bulk Bedrug material on my Alu-Cab as it’s more workable. Just used 3M velcro to attach to the walls. Been two years and no complaints

    Is the TRD 3" Suspension Lift Kit for a 2024 Tundra sufficient for an Alu cabin build?

    I have the Alu Cabin on my 2016 Tundra. Warranty wasn’t an issue for me, so I just upgraded to the Alcan spring pack, and the 6112’s up front. Rides great and haven’t given it a second thought. Weight wise, with full fuel, three people, and water, I am about 200 lbs below axle weight...

    Yamaha TW200? Looking for feedback

    Because they are popular, and reliable if well taken care of, I am seeing TW’s that are 15 years old going for over $3,500 in my area. New, you’re easily over 5k.

    Yamaha TW200? Looking for feedback

    Might want to consider the new Honda xr150L. I just recently went through this process. Love the TW, but the Honda gives a little more range/possibilities than the TW and is more than 2k cheaper.

    Smoker - Electric or Charcoal?

    I purchased a Pit Barrel Cooker five years ago amd have never looked back. It’s charcoal and if I want smoke flavor, I throw wood on the charcoal. It’s easy, maintenance free, and consistent temps. I even bought a smaller version of it two years ago for easier transport/use. Love the PBC.

    Pop up/wedge camper tailgate delete option

    Good choice. I haven’t regretted it at all. Buy once, cry once on this type of thing is my opinion. I’ve spent the last year on the build out. When you get to that stage, feel free to reach out and I’ll let you know what I have learned and mistakes I’ve made along the way. May save you...

    Pop up/wedge camper tailgate delete option

    I have the Alu-Cabin on my Tundra. Although I agree a pressure vent would help, I get very little dust and don’t have the vent. I attribute that to an unbelievable install/sealing, and the bedrug. No complaints at all from me.

    Food storage in Bear Country

    Just a hint on the bear cans. If you go that route, I highly recommend getting stick on reflectors or some bright tape to put on them. Don’t ask how I know that this helps immensely when trying to locate the cans after a bear has batted them around and moved them to who knows where at night.

    Introducing the “NEW” Alu-Cab Canopy Camper

    Love mine. You are correct. Dually Long for mine but I have the Alu-Cabin. I was originally worried about temp changes to colder weather. No change in firmness of it at all. One of the best upgrades I have done to my set up.

    Recognize this tripod cooker?

    I have this set up. Love the Southwest Disc. Infinitely better than what seems to be the most popular choice in this area.

    FS: Waterport Day Tank

    Hi. I’m selling my unused Waterport Day Tank. I decided to go a different route with my water set up. I only filled it once to mess with the pressurized filler cap. Not one issue with it. Includes the spray hose and normal hose attachment. Additional options include the multiple mounting...
