Can't wait to see what you come up with. My biggest concern with my setup is rain. It's usually dry when and where we do our trips but eventually we will run into real wet weather and something will have to change. If I didn't have to deal with shuttling bikes I'd look for a nice used topper and...
Thanks for the tip. I remember seeing that one the Colorado forum. Unfortunately I need to be able to throw 5-6 bikes over the tailgate when shuttling. My fiance is an instructor and we use the truck for coaching and sometimes that means shuttling a group of women up the trail.
How my old...
I think most people go with Decked drawers.
Depending on your location in NorCal you can pick up a Tepui RTT in Soquel or from REI and save on shipping. I've been very happy with mine. It's similar to CVT tents and some others. Here's a review I wrote about it...
Fancy wheels are not needed for off-roading so save your money and keep your OEM wheels. They look good. PlastiDip them if you feel the need to look different.
Most of the stuff has already been covered but here is my essentials list.
1. Good tires (the largest diameter you can fit)

My intent with this truck is to build it up in such a way that it can get me and my family to all of the wild natual places we enjoy be it camping, mountain biking, fishing or just simple sight seeing. It has to stay reliable enough to get me back and forth to work and not break the bank every...
I spent the evening reading this wonderful report. Thank you for documenting it so thoroughly. It is very well written and a joy to follow along. I hope to read more when you find the time.
Damn. I would have moved so you could set up but I know we as off-roaders/overlanders would not normally stop and ask if someone planned to stay long so we can camp. lol
After I cleared the bridge washout a USFS F150 came through the smoother line and didn't stop to tell me I shouldn't be...
Thanks for a drive down memory lane!
I lived in Ontario for a few years with my dad and we would spend every weekend and a lot of weekday evenings on those trails in his old Scout and Jeepster Commando. At 12yrs old I thought they were pieces of crap. It's only now I realise how cool those...
