    US West Canceled trips?

    @Alanymarce You must be talking about the Medellin to Bogota flight. I have never had a shorter up and down flight than that. Crazy how quick. Must be a nice drive as well, but never done it. I have also done Bucaramanga to Medellin. Such a cool airport in Bucara, up on a mountain. That...

    Before you Buy Rooftop Tent

    I only have 2 nights in my new to me RTT on a trailer and I am smitten. Considerable improvement over a 6 person REI ground tent IMHO. But I will agree with your on the drunk part. Night 2 absolutely BUSTED MY A$$ coming out of it to pee. Need to get a hand railing and a pee bottle.

    US West Canceled trips?

    Thinking about doing a Boundary Waters canoe trip this summer. 1170 miles from us 1 way. The gas is not a deal breaker as everything else on the trip will be dirt cheap, but it doesn't make us happy. We always have the option to drive the Renegade saving us about 5-8 mpg and $150 or so. But...

    Extendable Rack RTT Trailer Build

    I am glad it is at the usable stage. I have been ignoring lots of other responsibilities to get it to this point. It is nice the not feel like I have to do something to it to make it useable, now it is all nice extras from here on out. I want to do a bunch of things to make it even better...

    Extendable Rack RTT Trailer Build

    So half way through the build I realized the Renegade was going to have a tough time pulling this trailer very far or many extreme places, so I started looking for a truck. My 85 F250 that gets 7 mpg was not going to be pulling this thing very far. I lucked into this PEACH of an 08 Tacoma...

    Extendable Rack RTT Trailer Build

    So my goal was to stay light weight and lower profile. So I knew I wanted my tent rack to extend from a lower driving position to a higher camping position, I envisioned an extendable rack system. I have aspiration to some day find the right linear actuators to raise the roof, but for now this...

    Extendable Rack RTT Trailer Build

    My family (Wife, 10 year old, blue heeler and I) have been adventuring out of my wife's 2015 Jeep Renegade for about the last 3 years. Don't get me wrong, we have gone on lots of nice trips. Most recently this summer we took a month long 4500 mile trip from SE Tennessee to Glacier NP and back...

    Marn's M416 Build

    Great job! Good looking trailer!! I like how yours in light enough to manipulate by hand. I just took mine out for the first time and it was REALLY handy to be able put it where I wanted it on the camping pad.

    Lift struts or electric actuators

    My end goal is to utilize linear actuators to lift my RTT rack. But for now I am using a 30" lift scissors jack to lift it. Place it dead center under the rack and use my cordless drill to run it up to the height I want. It works really well and it is pretty dummy proof.
