Do you roll yours up? How well does it condense to a smaller size?

I cut mind into 3 pieces and its stacked on top of each other at the front of the bed. Than the rest of my cargo/camping gear goes in.

So I have an official date for when I leave for my trip! June 9th will be the start of it all and then its just smooth sailing from then on out. I have no direction or set plans other than heading in the general direction of Canada. The first destination will be somewhere in Big Pine where I'll meet up with a buddy of mine for the weekend but then after that I'll have to figure out my next destination which will most likely be Yosemite NP.
As for the truck I have been dialing in a few new parts that I figured would be a great addition to the trip.
For my bed I opted in for a 4" full size memory foam mattress topper. I'm guessing the 4 inches is perfect because on my last trip to Topock Arizona I slept like a baby.
For water storage I got a Road Shower 2 to keep things clean around the campsite or if I absolutely need a shower on the road.
Saving the best for last I also got an ARB awning. This awning just emanates comfortable outdoor fun. The very first time I even tested it out was in my friends driveway and within minutes of setting up one thing led to another. From grabbing a few chairs, to breaking out the camp stove and cooking up a few brats, then to setting up hammocks and grabbing a TV so we can put on the movie Zombieland all powered by the solar panels. Really goes to show how fast I'll get settled in at each campsite I visit on the trip.
Anything else you guys think I'll need on the trip? I think I'm pretty set up for a good time.

The trip was awesome! I've been meaning to start up a trip report with all the pictures I took but its a lot to cram in over 3 months. But now that I'm back I've been starting up the build again. Just installed a new 3rd member with an Eaton Limited Slip and 4.56 gears. Cant wait to test it out in the dirt!

So instead of wrapping the entire trip into a report I figured that I would just post up some pictures and let them speak for itself.
First stop Yosemite!
Hung out in Humboldt for a few days then I hit Redwoods and Oregon.
Then after Oregon I spent quite some time in Washington exploring the coast through Olympic National park. Then I made my way into Vancouver, BC. Unfortunately I lost all of my pictures spanning from this time until I got into Montana
But that just means I get to go back and do it all over again.
I'll post more trip pictures later but for now I have some build updates!

I'll definitely take you up on that! The greatest sunset I had ever seen was in Washington.

I may be a little biased, but I'd say we have the best outdoors here

Now for the updates! Picked these up after driving all day yesterday.
Fox 2.0 coilovers and the Archive Garage Expo test pack. Thanks to Jose for the springs dude it was nice meeting you!
Here's a little comparison.
Going from stock leafs and shocks on blown 5100's to this is night and day. To fill in another puzzle piece I have Fox rears in the mail and should be coming in tomorrow.

Washington is jam packed with everything! My cousin might be moving up there so I'll be making a few trips up there if they do. I totally skipped over Mt Rainier on my roadtrip and I really want to go back and check it out.
