    New Tripolina Chair update

    That was tongue in cheek, I will be buying 2 as soon as you start taking orders. I've scoured the net and can't find anything that will look good on my covered porch and also pack up for trips. Your chair is classy and functional enough to kill both those birds, and nothing beats a double...

    Tacoma DCLB vs. Tundra DCLB and Flippac for growing family with bikes and dog

    Both will work, it's a matter of comfort vs. Off road capability. I lean towards the capality aspect knowing the build has to be more thought out and I'll sacrifice some room to gain access to more places. Tough one...

    New Tripolina Chair update

    Are you planning to make any genuine tripolina chairs with leather, or just the knock off fabrics?

    Driving on Dry Pavement in 4-low with CDL engaged...

    There are only two scenarios in this situation, the tires slip - or metal breaks. It is absolutely a very rare occasion that the metal would break, poor tire wear is the usual outcome.

    RTT opening and closing with back issues?

    I could see at that height it being a problem. I have a couple of older friends that started out with roof top tents on their vehicles but they sold them and set up the interior for sleeping. I imagine if they were 20 yrs younger and agile, they would have kept the tents on top. I use a RTT and...

    Trump's 03 Tacoma

    You said two $10 apps made your Garmin obsolete, I imagine one was Back Country Navigator (BCN), so what was the other one? Also, how does this perform on streets and highways? I know you have to load BCN with the topo maps for off road areas you are going, do you also have to load it for the...

    Service Bed input needed :0

    By the time you're done, you'll have wished that you purchased a new aluminum or fiberglass bed, or had one made.

    Expo White?

    The correct texture is best accomplished by stirring the paint with a wiffle ball bat, while chanting " expo this, expo that..." old j/k

    Used Eezi-Awn 1400 T-Top series 3 for sale $1950.00 plus shipping

    SOLD!!!!New price: $1,500.00 plus half the actual shipping charges. It is in good shape, I slightly modified it by adding straps so that I could roll up the Annex walls and secure them, this can be undone, its not an intrusive modification. but it does speed up setup and take down...

    Question re: RTTs and Wind

    35 mph will make for an annoying sound, but it won't even begin to test the structure of a quality RTT. I think it would have to be over 60mph to start getting bad in my ezze-awn. Its a rigid floor, bolted to a truck, supported by steel bars that makes the difference.

    Engel Versus Dometic

    I have an engle 35qt, very solid and reliable, I would not consider anything larger unless I was consistantly going more than two weeks between grocery stops. I would look at the two zone fridge/freezer models. The engle is probably more reliable amd more power efficient, the only thing I don't...

    Next build, need some advice - Flipac or topper/shell or trailer?

    Really great points guys, I appreciate it a lot. The setup of a flip pac does seem appealing, I don't mind my RTT now, but it's on a rack, sitting below the roof. I'm not a tall guy, so if it were on a topper it would be more difficult for sure. I keep my annex walls attached, so my setup time...

    Expedition Overland 2013 Tacoma Build

    If I hear any more lip in this thread, I'm pulling out the wiffle ball bat.

    Next build, need some advice - Flipac or topper/shell or trailer?

    Very good point about the fuel mileage Rex, thanks! Nice setup! After looking at the interior setup of various flippacs, I think we are sold on it.

    Best cold weather children sleeping bags?

    The brands you listed earlier are good, I've been happy with the asolo brand. Having the nalgene bottles is a good idea, I camped with my 3yr old near the grand canyon and it dipped down to 0 degrees. I had a propane heater, but it wouldn't work because the high elevation triggered the low...

    Next build, need some advice - Flipac or topper/shell or trailer?

    My current overland truck is an 01 tacoma reg cab with a rack and eezi-awn 1400 ttop. This has worked well for me, but the family has now reached numero four, and the seating only accomodates 3. The next platform is purchased, a 2011 4door tacoma short bed, so seating is no longer a problem...

    Canvas Tent?

    X20 on the springbar if you are going to do a canvas tent on the ground. If going RTT, go eeze-awn as they are canvas, setup and take down should both be under ten minutes. I like the elevation of a RTT, but springbars are the best ground tent in my opinion. None of the new designs have been...

    Best cold weather children sleeping bags?

    I would purchase full size bags for the kids, you can fold the bottom under or put a blanket in the bottom for now. If you purchase full size bags they will be useful for much longer, or become good spares when your kids start bringing their friends along.
