I've been looking at doing the same. I can't justify $120 to hold a bottle I bought for $39.

If you have basic camping gear you ought to be prepared enough for this trip. @AdventureGuy is also in San Antonio, getting ready for his first trip.

What part of Texas are you in? There is a group of us in the hill country headed out the weekend of the 19-21. https://www.overlandbound.com/event/sulphur-springs-camp-and-back-road-exploration/?

It seems you're reading my mind from the last outing I was on. We'd had a week of steady rain and the roads were a deep thick mud. But slow and steady, feathering the throttle, and I was through with zero problems. It was actually fun knowing it'll do it. If I were gonna play, I'd love to...

I've learned there does need to be a bit of spin to engage the locker. A 120 rpm difference between each wheel is required to engage. I've got a set of boards as well, but haven't had the need for them yet.

My copilot using the Frontrunner tank for a pillow.

Perfect! I think I actually bought them at Walmart for a bit less.

Thanks!

Psst, hey guys! @Mrprotaganist @AdventureGuy

The forward side of the front can is mostly removed to allow airflow to the radio. It's an Icom 2200 2 meter ham radio. There's also a Scanguage mounted on the lid of that one. The cupholders still leave a little space in the second can, so things I don't access often are there. The third...

I've made use of the existing roof holes to mount an array of ham radio antennas. One radio is located in the front can of the console. For off-grid fun, I've added a Frontrunner footwell water tank. The rear seat is a 60/40 bench. I took the 60 portion out for my trip to Flaming Gorge...

DPS did not leave the radio console in place. So I made a console. Borrowing an idea from a Jeep thread I not only used an ammo can, I used four of them. I started with a base plate from Jottodesk, then bolted the cans to that. After some use I realized a RAM Xgrip would be a perfect...

I bought this rig specifically for camping before I learned about overlanding. I assumed I’d built drawers of some sort, but received a happy surprise. Texas DPS left the weapon locker and cargo barrier in place when they sold it to me.

Not only 2WD, but with a twist. My overlanding rig was a highway patrol interceptor in is former life. It’s complete with a police suspension, including a 3 inch drop, a G80 rear locker, and speed rated tires. It’s fun on and off road. So far, I’ve done several tours through the Texas hill...

I just watched the inverted pyramid trip. That was cool.

Awesome trip!

I like this. I often take a couple of cigars as well as some spirits.

Good to know on the motorcycle, lots of vibration and environmental factors there. The travel trailer is probably a pretty cushy gig. LOL

They were installed for a very specific reason. My car was a highway patrol interceptor in it's past life. Lights, sirens, radios, radar, LOL. I'm sure Texas DPS wouldn't spring for the added cost without reason.
