BADLAND ATV/UTV Synthetic Rope & Fairlead Kit - Item 63139 https://hftools.com/app63139 You need a smooth fairlead, any one will work depending on your size available.

just another consideration for for sleeping on the trail. My days of backpacking lead me to sleeping in a hammock (faintly and netting), smaller pack size and lighter. I've used a single tree and rigged to the bike. I'll likely do that again in a few weeks for another trip. I've slept on top of...

I use bicycle panniers on mine, in one food/kitchen stuff and in the other clothes and a blanket. A small tank bag, HF Apache medium sized case on the tail with the tent attached on top for kickbacks. A backpack with a bladder for water and things I don’t want to leave on the bike.

So I actually just watched the overview from the website, I didn’t realize that the tent was not attached. On my version it pops up when I unfold it. Might not a deal breaker but just to note. I did make the rain fly pop open with brass rings and small fiberglass poles.

I have the double (not the collapsible) and love it. On the ground, in the back of the truck, hot, windy, rainy, cold it hasn't mattered. https://kamprite.com/shop/tents/collapsible-series/compact-tent-cot-standard/ I would consider this more packable, set up is the same, really quick.

Did your weize finally give out or just wanting to try it out?

Sid, what are your transportation/size constraints? Assuming fishing so you have gear on the beach and storage for stuff ...

special considerations of Placement and direction of the tent/sack is of the most importance to where the wind is blowing.

I thought I commented on your post when you first did it but I wouldn’t have changed it. I do like your modifications to it though. Coverage is nice and individual components I see as a plus. Take pride in what you have made.

Congrats on the new ride.

Not a horrible price for what it is but check around locally too, summer deals are around the corner. If $600 delivered is your budget it won’t be horrible. Entry level components, brakes are better than the 30yr old rim brakes. If you can spare or save a few more bucks it would be worth it a...

I agree with getting more people out and about but seriously let’s have some more common sense and respect for Mother Nature and others along the way, leaving it better than what we left it.

Great size as a base camper. Can’t wait to see more.

are you changing your axle width too? Right now you would be limited by your fenders which if I remember right it was not much. Also with a lift you would have more articulation and possibly rub the side panel. Wish I picked up one of their 6’ platform when they had them. You have a good...

Can’t forget about El Burro https://expeditionportal.com/el-burro-the-overland-bug/ Exceptionally well done, well documentaries on here and thesamba And the world tour https://expeditionportal.com/33745/

I really want to see the rack on it too, I’m sure it’s from the same era which is even more…So I guess Yes you can, and adding a rag to it is the ultimate dream as a collector/enthusiast.

Suspension wise, front and rear were torsion bars, so a click or two you have more spring for the extra weight. 73ish superbeetles came with front struts. A little more challenging but people swapped coils for more capacity. Rear were all its however Pre ‘69 had swing arm. Maybe I’m...

Something like this?

Try Google? *VW Beetle camping *sleeping in a VW Beetle Seriously get thousands of photos everything from RTT’s to lay flat seats (that shifter is still a pain if you roll the wrong way). I have sport bucket seats that happen to lay flat and I have slept in them multiple nights on trips. You...

My favorite vehicle of all time. I’ve had a few through the years with countless miles totaled up mostly across California and Nevada. Still have a ‘68 T1, but my last Baja went places my truck just couldn’t. Ultra reliable and easy to work on. Thesamba is great info for those who need ACVW...
