Frontier PRO-4X ""Overland"" Build = 7000 km trip

[Kanester]

Getting ready for a 7000 km round trip from Winnipeg, Manitoba to Ouray, Moab, Canyonlands, Grand Canyon, Zion, Grand Teton and Yellowstone.
2.5 inch lifts with air bags. Custom roof rack and storage for box.

Bringing your dog? That + food for him will eat up your GVW and take your lift down to 25mm!
What is heavy is the water you will want camping in the desert. 9-10 liters a day with minimal washing and food prep + whatever the dog needs. More than the fuel or the food, that will limit how many days you can enjoy out there before you have to find a town or a faucet. A filter isn't a bad addition, not all the free water you find will be that enjoyable to drink. Also, when it does rain, which happens more in October than most of the year for the Moab area, the dirt turns to grease in a heartbeat. If you have winter chains bring them--sometimes going off the road off-roading is not an option.
Have a great trip! You picked a great route and a great truck-

Nice set up. I like your tailgate modification, have been thinking of doing something like that as well.

Enjoy your trip!

Just got back from Canyonlands. You’ll have a great time

Nice setup. Just curious - What’s the combined width of the 2 drawers?
