This is our camping vehicle, Home Depot carrier, Ski trip family hauler, motorcycle carrier, track day support vehicle and whatever it takes. the main goal was to be able to convert from cargo to passenger to camper easily.
Mods:
Work in Progress: fender flares and mud flaps:
On Big Bend
Painting the roof silver:
Camping. Mosquito nets on windows. We were going from campground to river. I do not load like that on the road.

Reno to Bonneville to Moab to Kremmling CO to Grand Canyon to Vegas to Yosemite
Did a big trip with one of my daughters for her B-day/Christmas present. She also paid a $1000 out of her own pocket, not bad for 14. Went for 2 weeks starting Sept 4th. Been lazy about posting pics and very distracted with my business nearly disappearing completely for three months. All is right again now but we had a pretty tough time of it since we only have the one income stream. Anyway here are some pics I took. I suck with the camera. Too bad.
Pretty much forgot about the camera at Bonneville
Next was Moab. Took the twin bridges trail. If I had started at the end I came out of I never would have attempted this trail in my rig. However it went very smoothly and we can't wait to go back.
Then we went on to Kremmling Colorado to Latigo Ranch. Really cool. Will never do it again because of cost. We could have camped in Moab for 2 weeks each year for the next 5 years for the same price.
Even so The place awesome and the staff/owners were ridiculously accommodating.
Thats what I'm talk'n bout
This pic is funny because I was racing my Traxxas Slash (RC truck) down the road and the horses (70) started to freak out so I took a pic and then left before I started a million dollar stampede.
Next we went down to Albuquerque to pick up my daughters new dog. A Cane(CON-A) Corso. Google it. Sweet dog. Then we were off to the Grand Canyon
A face to put to my posts
Tards tempting fate on a cliff edge. They were doing all kinds of fooling around. I told my daughter to hang around for while cause we might get to see natural selection at work.
Close up of said tards
Off to Yosemite. Here is Mono Lake. Lame pic

Do you have a build on your rack or more details? Looks nice and simple.

Any interior pictures? Sounds like a good flexible build.
If you go to your local autozone or advanced auto, they usually stock a remover that comes in a big spray bottle. It works great to soften up that gooey mess, but if I recall they recommend wiping the stuff off, and in my experience it doesn't work all that well unless the residue is realllly thin.
Best way I've found is to spray, let sit for about 20-30 seconds, and then use an old credit card type thingy to scrape it off. That works like a charm. It still takes a bit of effort to get it clean, but it works a ton better than trying to wipe it away.
