When I had my f150, I used the kodiak canvas bed tent. Strong. Worked well. Relatively expensive tho. http://www.kodiakcanvas.com/canvas-truck-tent-mid-sized/ This size should fit yours. Works pretty dang good. When its time to go back to work, the main rails stay in the bed for next time...

I was watching Theoutdoorgearguide and he basically showed the Outback swags pioneer was pretty much junk. But yeah, $300 bucks. And there is the kodiak canvas version of it that scored good, but thats also $300..

Which reminds me. For those that have seen my setup and think its the cat's meow, theres some pretty important disadvantages you need to know about. You need trees. Or a stand. And they have to be just so apart so you get the right amount of sag or else you will be uncomfortable. Doing this...

The bag is only +7'c. Its my summer kit. Or Back of the xuv kit as the escape makes a decent tent. I'd still like to get my old Alice pack and mount it to the back of the rear seat, but some of the walmart offerings will be able to take its place.. Not sure on how Im going to do it to be honest...

While this isnt an "OZARK TRAIL", all my kit is cheap stuff from the likes of Canadian tire. Compared to the REI or "specialist stores" its dirt cheap. My setups a "dual mode" version. Its also my ultralight setup. 7'c and up. First we will start with the hammock itself. Its a vivere...

youre gonna have to tell me what thats like... i have a hammock.

The army fellas will know exactly what I'm talking about.

Thats not a bad idea actually. That would definitally solve the problem,

I Its actually there to "reduce the glare from roof lights".

Yup. "In the house, Up the stairs."

Im guessing about the form factor, but if its that small, I'd buy it in a heartbeat. That would fit perfect in my rig. As far as the company. I havent had any issues with any of thier CB's. Hopefully this adventure is just as good!

Right what I think too. And this is somewhat discouraging for a lot of people. They see an XUV and they really like it, but they tend to pale in comparison to "true" SUV's. These are the types of people I find on the trails with huge jeeps or land rovers, or (Insert BOF 4x4 super suv here). And...

For sure, putting an air dam on it will help fuel economy but it will also put limitations on your approach angle. Unless you can somehow pull it forward and up against the bumper for offroad use, I don't see the benefit. You might see more savings in selecting lightweight camping and kitchen...

I think too that something we could discuss is the intended use bit. I most of our vehicles are what I call light offroaders. It seems they are designed for light trails, dirt roads and stuff. I think a lot of reviewers are like "well it pales in comparison to the jeep wrangler Rubicon with...

That's also true. I tend to just watch how the AWD systems work when they put them to the test. For example. I believe it was the forester they were trying and the complaint was that it couldn't make it up a hill. They drove it into a depression and put the bumper on the hill, then tries to...

No pics of course, but my first good one was kind of an after the fact. I was winter bombing around a trail I thought I knew. Front left got into a deep, deep, deep hole and she went down, tail lifted then gently over onto it's side. Of course I was alone and tipped over onto my side in the...

From what I've seen, some vehicle stability control systems can indeed get confused when you dog leg them. Like if your rear left is off the ground and you get on the brake, the abs might fire on that side because it thinks that wheel is locked. Or in the same situation, it senses no traction...

Oh absolutely man! And I'm willing to bet there's tons of beautiful places out there that I'll be able to overland to as well. I'm hoping that in the future I can wake up some cuv owners, just like the little Kia soul, the jellybean inspired me!

Oh.. they do make awd models, but only on higher trim levels with an anorexic 1.5l and 2.0 while Ford says they have great power, they do, but with the wife owning one and having driven the other, the power comes on as a big burst after 4000 rpm. Which isn't going to do me much favors trying to...

At the time we bought "shiro" It was a car I paid cash for and gave to my wife. I had an f150 2wd. The problem with the truck was the 700 dollar a month payment and the cost of gas. My wife started working and now I was driving 1000km a week to bus our daughter to her dance classes. This was...
