With your driving profile the Z71 will will provide everything you need and more.

“Also random rant, what they charge for the extra zip on panels is ABSURD. Someone needs to put zippers that fit in a regular tarp and sell them for 1/4 what rhino rack wants for theirs.” Amen to that!

I, too, would be interested in seeing a Drifter for an 8’ bed. If not, I see that Callen is back in business under new management with an informative website. Although rather heavy, you can’t beat a Callen for offroad toughness.

We always gaze across from Mammoth. On the list for next season. Thanks for a beautiful travelogue.

What size bed do you have?

Do you have an “old school” short bed...6.5’? You’re already buying a shell. Add a BedRug, easy on your knees and adds a small degree of insulation. When you travel with kids set up the tent/alcove facing the tailgate, kids in the covered truck bed, you and the wife in the tent. When you go solo...

Agreed! I’ve since bought backup parts that I keep inside the attached stake/guyline bag. https://www.etrailer.com/Accessories-and-Parts/Rhino-Rack/RRCA1175.html Bought two kits with two hinges in each. I also have an ARB 2000 that is very sturdy but does not offer the coverage or convenience...

I’m going to stay out of the vehicle debate and comment on your description of the camping setup. You mention the Decked drawer/platform system and the AT Habitat, both excelllent choices. The Habitat uses a traditional style truck shell hatch that swings up. The Decked system is about 12” tall...

As long as your truck dimensions are slightly larger I would think you’d be fine. Easy enough to fill a small gap. Not easy trying to squeeze into a tighter spot, especially with bed flex.

Same experience with the 400P, but I use it to pump up 4 LT tires to highway pressure...from ~ 25# to 60#. No problema. I bought it for the CFM rating, not the PSI rating regardless of the duty cycle.

The “archived” paperwork really adds to the package. Good luck with the sale. ✌️

I’m a fan of camping/sleeping under a truck shell. Recently purchased a Leer 122 hi-rise for the Chevy longbed. Unimpressed. I had them delete the “bay” windows to prevent them breaking as the truck bed flexes offroad; kept the sliders from center to front of shell. When I park the truck in my...

“Rhino-Rack BatWing Review/Write Up” see post #66 in this section for my repair write-up.

I had not seen that video (thanks for sharing) but it certainly addresses the Delrin hinge issue from their perspective. I want to be clear that I'm not criticizing the design of the Batwing...I've only used it once in the field and under a freak instance, at that. We had just stopped for the...

Q...and done. :cool:

In post #35 I mentioned that my Batwing had snapped two of the Delrin hinges after an unexpected strong gust (40+ mph) "origamied" my Batwing. Last week I was able to repair the awning with the two spare hinges Rhino Rack includes with the awning. Is it thoughtful on the part of the mfg. or an...

2010 Suburban, 1500 4x4 Z71, 5.3l, 140,000 miles. Occasionally tow a horse trailer. Plenty of power and tow/haul helps out. We do trans service more frequently than called for and that helps. This has been a great vehicle for us and no plans to trade.

theksmith: I have an ARB 50l that has the same cold/warm issues as you described, so I borrowed a method we use in our motorhome’s 3-way absorption fridge. A small battery powered fan bought from Camping World circulates air throughout the fridge helping to “even out” the temps. Camco and...

Congrats. Although I didn’t recommend the Frontier, I will agree with you that I really liked it’s overall ride characteristics best. I hope it works out for your needs and yes...post pics now and as you build it. ?

Get as much bed as possible...YMMV. Other than that, Tacoma is dependable but dated, but TRD Pro has all the goodies. Very little aftermarket for the Nissan. I lean towards the Colorado with the diesel.
