Trekboxx for a 100 series. http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/130597-Trekking-with-Trekboxx

We had a lot of people hanging around our truck all weekend at 100's in the Hills. Our full camp at HIH4. We were beyond fully loaded for this trip. Despite having the drawer system and roof top carrier there was stuff stuffed everywhere in the car. It was bursting at the seams. For a more...

My space. The soft close hinges are a really nice touch. No slamming wings. Lunch before leaving town. Happy wife, happy life. Proud new owner In full use One of many quick lunch stops. We could pull in, deploy the awning, make lunch, feed the kids and be back on the road in 30 minutes...

First Impressions The fit and finish are second to none. I just stared at the system all day long as it is beautiful to look at. It was almost painful to have to pack it with stuff because it looked so nice empty. Immediately after getting home I started to throw gear in to see how it would...

Wings on and in the truck. Two people could get it in and out of the truck but three is nice. Barriers Barrier install Dave had some cool extra features in his own truck that I will add later. The LED lights are exceptionally nice. The warm LED are the way to go. Bungee cord and...

This is how I have packed my truck for years worth of camping....No Bueno! Decision Making Process Drawers have been an ongoing conversation between my wife and I since we bought our 2001 land cruiser. I have wanted a drawer system for my cruiser pretty much since the day I bought it and...

As I mentioned earlier, Bob and Ryan both high centered on a rock in the middle of Mengel Pass, candy striping their rear drive shafts. Bob and Chris took a look under Bob’s truck and decided that it was way too much effort to remove all the heavy steel skid plates to get to the drive shaft. So...

Day 4 Day 4: We all took our time getting up in the morning. I awoke first and decided to grab my camera and head up to the peak of the first dune for sunrise. I enjoyed the last bit of starlight as I hiked into the dunes. On previous trips to Eureka Dunes I climbed to the very top of the...

Our convoy entered Dedeckera Canyon just as the last bit of light left the sky. Just enough light remained to survey the first of the steps into the canyon before driving down into the darkness. It had been another long day, but running this section of the trail in the dark revitalized...

Our next stop was the warm springs located at the bottom of Steele Pass. To get to the springs we had to run up most of Saline Valley. There were some large washouts here and there, but for the most part it was smooth sailing. All the guys were pretty tired so we just cruised without stopping...

Day 3 Day 3: My original plan for this trip was to wake up super early every morning and be on the trail as the sun was coming up so that I could get photos with great lighting. When I expressed that idea to the group I was promptly told that no one was going anywhere until the coffee had been...

thanks. Two more days to post

Thankfully White Mountain Talc Road was pretty quick and easy and we made it to Saline Valley road with just a few minutes of twilight to spare. Just enough nice lighting to get a group shot with the thin crescent moon and crepuscular rays spraying out over the mountains. It was time to make...

Keeler welcomed us with a sign: “Rough Road Ahead. 4 Wheel Drive Advised. Snow Not Cleared Beyond This Point.” My kind of warning. Before my Land Cruiser days I had a Jeep Grand Cherokee. I had taken it up Cerro Gordo Road after a big snowstorm, when the entire Owens Valley was covered in a...

Day 2: We woke up to moody storm clouds clearing to reveal a wonderful view of Stripped Butte. I hiked up the mountain a little ways to get an overview of the valley and Geologists Cabin at sunrise. Everyone cooked a quick breakfast, broke down camp, explored the cabin and got ready to tackle...

Slightly shaken up and in a somber mood, we all got back in our trucks and continued on, down one truck to seven. The rest of the drive to camp at Geologists Cabin was quite and uneventful. There was not a lot of chat on the radio, everyone pondering the events of the afternoon and enjoying a...

I love Death Valley. The desert just fascinates me. As a Florida native, there is just no place on the east coast that creates the sense of remoteness and calmness. Six years ago, I moved to California. And of course, my first desert experience was Death Valley. It holds a special place in my...

Thanks for the advice. I work at the Palomar Observatory near San Diego, up at the observatory we have several large breaks and other sheet metal equipment that I can use. I have not had any first hand experience with working sheet metal but I am looking forward to learning how to. I agree it...

Martyn, You all build a super high quality trailer. I have no idea how to fabricate boxes and put the finishing touches on a trailer so it would be worth my time to see how the pros do it before diving in. I am a mechanical engineer and know better than to try to reinvent the wheel on some...
