Nice setup. Considering something similar for my '12 Tacoma. Can you post a pic(s) showing how you secure the platform to the bed? Thanks! DJM

Thank you both for the words and, honestly, I do not identify as 'disabled' but rather 'other-abled'. As noted, I do tons of stuff 'abled bodied' folks don't do. Great link about 'stupid light' -- became familiar with the term when I went through a stupid-light-phase while building a mountain...

Lol. No offense taken in the least! I am actually more of fan of natural fibers and based on my recent experience with the crap Give-N-Go I am back to wool and cottons. I realize there is this whole 'light and fast' outdoorsy thing that is more fashion that function. I am a 'disabled' (?)...

Thanks for the tips on the Carhartt shirts, but cotton is not going to work for my for travel (too long to dry), I'll take a look at those for day-day no travel wear. My trip is two weeks long and I am looking to bring minimal clothes, so they need to dry really fast. No need to be dapper, I'm...

I recently went through the decision process -- I needed to replace some very old Oakley prescription sunglasses. I use my glasses for racing (amateur road racing), snow hiking/camping, general hiking, kayaking, etc. I did tons or research (I am totally OCD about these things), I eventually...

The only Carhartt t-shirts I see that are light weight, non-cotton are these: https://www.carhartt.com/products/carhartt-men-shirts/Force-Extremes-Short-Sleeve-T-Shirt-102960 Have your tried that style? Being fully synthetic, does it get stinky? Thanks, DJM

Thanks for the heads up on the Black Diamond Rhythm Tee -- that appears to tick all the boxes for my use case. Skurka use case is certainly more rigorous than mine! Will try one out. Cheers, DJM

I travel quite extensively on business (from the US to Europe). At the end of my business trips I usually take a holiday and head somewhere in Europe that is off the beaten path. I like to hike, dive, kayak, etc. I like to travel light, so I am always looking for clothes that can double for...

2012 Tacoma TRD OR, stone stock, 30k on the clock (bought in early 2017 with just under 4k on the on odo!) Here she is on her maiden voyage to Baja. Picked up a used Snugtop shell for cheap, built out the ubiquitous sleeping platform and headed south for nearly 3 weeks (just before starting a...

I'll send you a PM. DJM

I have a GFC for a longbed Tacoma that is in 'Ready for Production'; delivery is in Sept/Oct. I think it is still possible to adjust for a shortbed. Wife and I are thinking of going different direction with our camp setup. Let me know if you are interested. UPDATE: wife and I have decided to...

Interested, but can you please provide a more complete description of what is included with this trailer? The base price of the XV-3 is $10,995; your ad states this was optioned to MSRP of $17,995. What options were added to push the price to $17,995? Thanks, DJM

My 2012 Tacoma is largely stock save for the addition of BFG tires, Snugtop Hi-liner shell. I built out a simple plywood sleeping platform (supported by 2 x 8s ). This served me well on a two+ week camping/road trip from Santa Barbara to many locations all over northern and southern Baja...

I researched getting a camper shell for my 2012 Tacoma quite extensively and, being an engineer, I was fairly stuck in state of 'analysis-paralysis' with all the brands, options, etc. I started perusing craigslist and found a Snugtop 'hi-liner', same color as my truck, about 100 mile trip away...

Hello, I am leaving for a Baja adventure is a few days (Oct 26th) and I am looking for some advice on which maps would be useful for navigating around Baja. While we are not planning any serious 'off-roading', I am hoping to find something that show primary paved roads, but also some of the...

Where did you find the oilskin canvas bedroll? Thanks, DJM

Yes, that is very much what I was looking for. Curious: when you say 'not rugged' is that in terms of the cover that comes with it? Or is the foam itself not durable? Thanks, DJM

Those won't work with my sleep platform, and I am a bit leery of something that might puncture. Cheers, DJM

Needs some input on sleeping pad solution for the bed of my 2012 Toyota Tacoma with the 6' long bed. I am using raised platform that sits above the bed of the truck. I am looking for something 30" wide and about 4" thick; the bed of the truck is just under 74", so I need something that is 73"...
