    Camp bed time, what’s your set up

    There are times I tent, times I hammock, and then times in "the Ritz" (as I call my truck camping set up). Main concepts are flexibility and simplicity: I can go from an empty truck bed to "go camping mode" in about 15 minutes. Also I store my basic truck camping gear in the bins all the...

    truck topper as a place to camp?

    My set up: I like a removable mid-rise topper - I want some headroom & as needed I can remove the topper, so no permanent furniture/fittings . I use a Roll-a-Cot (shown previously by other posters), a Thermarest pad, and sleeping bag. Topper has opening and screened windows. I have a 12vt...

    SOLD

    I love that rig! GLWS! FYI: About 3 months ago I was on a road/trail and came across a creek crossing that I had been across many times in my JK. Stuck in the middle was a Gen1 Tacoma. Water was 3/4 up the wheels. I pulled him out (backwards) with my strap. During the pull, I noticed no...

    First Alaskan-Flat bed side door entry-A dream

    Thank you for posting this information and photos. That side door is fantastic! I love the way it modifies the interior and softens the "linear feel" of the typical truck camper layout. I'm drooling over how easy it would be to have bumper mounted racks for a small motorcycle or bikes and...

    PICTURE THREAD: Post up your Mobile HAM setups

    KI4VCY mobile dual band ICOM208H: My "new" '09 Toyota Tacoma did present some issues. Coming from a Chevy full size I had to rethink my prior mounting method which was a RAM mount on the transmission hump just under the dash. My needs included something that would look nice, not interfere...

    2016 - 4Runner Trail // HAM Radio Location.

    I've got a Tacoma...IMO the overall radio mounting "environment" is very similar. My needs and the fairly tight confines of the cab & dash area led me to put the main radio body under the driver's seat. The control head was mounted using a LIDO 18" stalk mount...

    Big Bend NP by Tacoma and a DR200

    This past March (2017) I had some opportunities line up nicely and made a trip from Northern Virginia down to Big Bend National Park, Tx. My 21 Y/O daughter was on spring break from college and she wanted to travel. I wanted to roam a bit as we were still getting occasional snow at home and I...
