Guest, UPDATE We went through the site migration runbook and completed all steps. We will need to complete the migration next week, but will leave the forums up for the weekend. A few days after maintenance, a major upgrade revision to the forum site will occur.
San Jose , I am also looking to get out weekend 8-24 I was thinking Gold lake, Shaver Lake or Downieville but if you know good routes in Truckee I might be game.
Personally I prefer backpack over a camera bag. When traveling camera bags tend to be a target for high value equipment. It also makes me think really carefully what I intend to shoot to bring only what I need not equipment or lens that I will not use. Most of the time I use a small sling bag...
We have an xterra in the group that I wheel with and it is constantly underestimated not just for ability but cost of ownership being low. Now owner has over 200K with no major issues running $150 lift 285/75-16 (off my cruiser)
Depending how tall you are you might make a Nissan X-terra Pro-4x (factory rear locker) decent mpgs, inexpensive to buy, maintain but a more limited accessory market. I've slept in an 80 series for years it was long enough but as you stated mpg isn't so good ~11mpg with 35" tires.

Only thing that you did not specify was where these batteries are located. If you are using non-sealed lead acid batteries you want them in a well vented area.
No decisions made yet still weighing my options there are a few other considerations. I am just doing my research on what my options are... Even if there is not a lot of overlanding, exploring by 4x4 that's ok as I love the water as well as trying to get into paramotoring.
@AnglerAdventurer I am not based in FL but I am considering a move, I have only ridden a motorcycle through FL is there any good offroading, exploring, camping? I stayed in a few regular campgrounds which when exploring in the truck I'd avoid like the plague. How is the experience in FL? Sorry...
Capacity, Age, battery type all factor here... If all three are the same (as mentioned above, size, type, batch or new) this can work. Also as mentioned running 2 in parallel and switching the 3rd using a switch or auto isolator would decrease the dependence on exact battery match. If these...
