Thought I'd throw a couple pictures up of the progress. I didn't make the thing square, just been kind of winging it, but it's close. Measure and cut and measure and cut.... Built the sides first.. should have done better to square these, but this whole project was intended to be a quick box...

As I think about it 14 gallons of fluid on my roof is not a thing I want to deal with.

Love your truck and your build thread. Great idea for a custom awning I'm planning.

I've been exploring using one of these https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000MT94QA/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pd_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=16VVYJXTKOM5K&coliid=I2PSEKXF85AXEZ&psc=1 ... haven't decided the best way to mount such a thing though. I worry that keeping that much fuel up high where the sun is exposed...

Love the budget conscious additions you've made and your set up so far. That canopy looks cozy and effective. New Mexican ingenuity at its finest! I do love the landscape out there too, we have some land down near Gila, NM on the river. Excited to put some of your ideas into a context I can work...

I'll take a look at that too. Am I looking for a wood stain like one that would be used on hardwood floors? My intentions are to let it be rough look, but have some weather protection so it can sit out at camp and not be greatly affected. I know it's not going to be waterproof, but resistant is...

Very cool option for rollers. The housing rating is 32* at its lowest, wouldn't that make it not well suited for winter use?

Hadn't thought to be that brave yet. My beautiful woman wants a head board to lean on for reading in bed when we go camping. I figured I would order a cedar board for that and fill with what scrap I have left from these palates. Getting them broke up seemed to be the hardest part. I've cracked a...

That's how my net is going to get set up. Here is the current overnight/2 night set up in the truck. Tubs have stove, fuel, and other kitchen ****. The ruck has radios, latern, some clothes and my sleeping bag. I threw a futon from an old couch in the back to sleep on. Going to spruce this up a...

Broke a few apart. Some were a nice cherry color. Using them for a storage box 24" long x 32" wide x 12" deep. 4x2's and 2x2's as frame. Wondering what I can use to seal 'er up after I put her together. Would like to keep the wood look to it.

Very nice. I'm looking to go with some angle aluminum myself for a bed box/sleeper. Never have welded before, hoping to learn on the go and save me some money in the long run.

Will be curious to see if your PV system meets your current demands and how much the 12v/100wt panel system will handle before needing an upgrade. Do you plan to run vent fans/lights/electronics aside from a fridge, or just the fridge and a 12v plug in the back?

Those powerstroke 350's are a purty truck. nice set up.

Quality video production skills too. I would assume you do this for a living. Nice trip, added to my list.

Beautiful colors in the park. Only been there once, but had a blast. The Thirsty Goat, in Lajitas, was a main memory. And the golf course that crosses over the border on one of its holes.

Great thread. Your abilities make the projects look easy and give me all sort of confidence to try it myself. That tent is on point and I like the simple fab'd shell.

From my recent adventures

A few pictures from my outdoor activity the other day. We have been having some rain days up here in Gold Country lately, so I took advantage of a cool, sunny day to get out and enjoy my other favorite outdoor activity. I run Spartan Races for fun, so my training usually happens in similar...

I'm seeing a lot of those bright night shots, is this aperture settings or is this some filter in photo shop? How is this achieved? It's a wonderful effect.

Great report and nice to 'meet' fellow hill folk! I'm living in Alta Sierra at the moment, driving a Dodge 2500 5.2 (got it before I knew it was the official NevCo vehicle). We are going to try and head up to Bowman Lake this weekend, at least see if the road is open again. If not, may be try to...
