hello I'm interested in this because traveling from state park to state park can take some time and a quick sleep over with out paying for a hotel/motel helps a lot. Any suggestions on turning a overland vehicle into a stealth over night er? For these type of emergency over night sleep over I'm...
is that street legal? the florida cops don't get you for no fenders or mud flaps or having the tires stick out? lol great truck by the way; did you do the tubing yourself?
thanks for the input; mostly I'm concerned with rust eating my poor truck. Here in the northeast they spray that stuff on the roads and it destroys the vehicle. My heat shields have melted away; many of the clamps I have replaced. The exhaust is very rusty etc. Our vehicle hold a high resale...
forgot to add this also; I really appreciate you being open with your understanding of a budget! I love all the suggestions for the mods but these things cost money.
thanks so much for the informative reply; I really appreciate it. The info on the bear spray is a great idea instead of the carry permit which I'm not sure how it works when crossing state lines etc. I forgot to mention before that Jon; who helped you out in Colorado is a great guy! I have not...
thanks it does but in regards to budget and items to do; is there anything that maybe was not used or was not worth the expense and could have gone without is the big question. thanks again for being open to questions.
great read also; may I ask some questions if you have some time to respond;

I actually dont think they were just for looks! Think of all the rocks that are gonna get kicked up and maybe crack some part of the glass or chip that paint etc. looking at the side view yo posted makes me think they are very much needed. especially with those toyos. By the way thanks for the...
hey kurt by the way with info on the 7 continent 70 series cruisers that scott used any useful items that they may have put in that may be of interest??? usb ports? or electrical etc thanks
great report! question for ya; did you have any thoughts on the tight squeeze portion with the land cruiser?I have a 100 series and debating on moving to a raptor? the width on certain trails is what really keeps coming up in trip planning. thanks How did your tires do also; any cuts?
thanks to all the responses; I was questioning the ride because on a trip near vegas last summer a f250 loaded up with dirt bikes had some trouble keeping up with the rest of the group. This was a tour trip so I had no idea if it was driver or how the f250 was equipped. The raptor was a dream on...
