I did mention the Tundra. I didn't specify first gen but it's the one I had in mind. Hopefully his post something soon about it, but Paul May at Equipt has a new one that is pretty awesome. First Gen extra cab, lifted, bumpers, snorkel, winch. Really a well sorted "fullsize" pickup if you...

Agreed. Pretty much what I've said in other posts. A full size can be perfect for some. I was impressed with the AEV Ram that OJ reviewed recently and saw it up close in Moab last week. It's HUGE! But I can't say I wouldn't love having it. . I don't deny I'm a fan of Toyotas and could very well...

:) It's all good. Everyone is different with different needs. The right fit for me may not be the right fit for someone else. Fortunately we all have a variety of solid options to choose from.

I don't disagree with you much on that actually. My list could be a bit misleading but it's not meant to imply that I would cross shop everything on that list. You're right there are a few different catagories represented there. I'll have to disagree with you about the 80/f150 comparison...

I'm guessing your first paragraph is directed at me? To address that, I have a wife and 4 kids who are regularly with me on trips. We simply did not fit in my Tacoma. If I made solo trips, I would definitely still own that truck. I bought the truck when my wife had our twins. So there were a few...

I don't have a release date yet, just know that they are in the works. I'll keep tabs on it and post up dates as soon as I can.

Great looking Silverado! #teamtepui

Actual data says otherwise. Not knocking it, I really like the XTerra and for a smaller SUV they make a good platform for adventure travel. Tacomas, 4Runners and Land Cruisers have consistently had better, factually supported, reliability. Since the OP had the 3rd Gen 4Runner on his list...

No Pool, No Problem :)

Correction. The Van above is an Astro/Safari which I guess technically isn't a fullsize but this one with the lift and rack is easily as tall as a fullsize. Here is their tent opened to the rear. You can see that you get some additional height from the floor of the annex which has sides to...

We have put Tepui tents on several full size vans. Tepui offers an annex extension that adds another foot to the length of the annex which gives plenty of length in most cases if the van is very tall. Also, the Tepui telescoping ladder will extend to 8'6" and is long enough for nearly all...

Thanks for sharing your solution. Mattresses are tricky, what is comfortable for one person is not for another, just like the mattresses on your bed at home. I sleep very comfortably on the Tepui mattress and most of the people I know do as well, but I get questions occasionally about how to...

That's been a common thing from what I've seen/heard. Hard to go wrong with the MaxTrax.

Yeah, hopefully not many changes in the future. It's pretty well set up for my needs now. The trailer still has the female sides of the rack and I think I'll be using a part of the rack for an awning. It will be nice to still have that adjustability with the awning.

The previous design worked great, but I've always wanted a lid to have better security and protection from the elements. The bins that I use inside the trailer would not have fit properly with a lid on the old design because it would have been too low. But the main reason was because I just...

Thank you!

Yep. Pick your poison, as they say.

We had a good weekend at the Easter Jeep Safari in Moab working with Gearheads Outdoor Store. Gearheads has been great to work with and we had a lot of people checking out the tents all day. There were several forum members that stopped by to say hello. If you were one of those, thanks for...

Weight and resistance to the elements are the main reasons. The aluminum floors are typically lighter, and the urethane coating on the wood floors come chip/scratch over time allowing moisture to affect the wood. All that said, I don't think I've ever seen a real problem with any wood floored...
