My girlfriend isn't a tent camper, the thing that convinced her to come camp and have a great time was being able to sleep in the bed of the truck. I think it makes a big difference being up off the ground.

Looks awesome, I really like the third-gen wheels on there.

Awesome. I know there is another road Aurora Canyon, that starts just north of Bridgeport. Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

For sure, definitely plenty of side roads and detours. I was surprised at how few people were out there. Bodie itself was a different story. They were having some event and the town was super busy.

Hey everyone! Last weekend my girlfriend and I made our first real trip! As the topic says, we took the old Bodie-Masonic road from just north of Bridgeport, through some BLM land and down into Bodie from the North. This was our actually our second attempt, after being caught in a thunderstorm...

Awesome, that makes sense. Especially with a long bed I don't think my truck is ever going crawling. I keep mentioning getting aJeep to my girlfriend.... maybe one day. Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

I was running around with a measuring tape yesterday. I think I can get the smalls in the back of my truck when the seats are folded flat. The large would fit in the bed, so I'm not sure if the medium would end up being an awkward in-between when I'm loading up. Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

Looks great, I really like the white third gen. Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

The heavy duty ones look cool, but the biggest thing missing from both is the lack of a seal. There's a DIY thread around here that solves it - that's what I'm planning to do. Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

Nice. Did you consider the steel, or was the added weight just unnecessary for your uses? Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

Good point! I've had that problem moving house many times - boxes of books sure do weigh a lot...

Just wondering what (you guys think) the most versatile size for the Plano sportsman trunks are? Reading the dimensions online doesn't really give much of a feel for what they are like in real life. I'll be using the to store bedding, cookware, food and miscellaneous bits and pieces - thinking...

Looks awesome. Did you go for steel or aluminum skids?

You truck, and your pictures, are looking good! :smile:

Great thread! Thanks @AZ_Overland

Are you running 33s or 35s?

Those Plano boxes look great. Thanks!

Nice! With the RTT you must have so much space in the bed. What storage boxes do you have on the rack?

Looking good! I keep changing my mind about whether the DCLB is too long, but after sleeping under the softtopper last weekend I'm sold on the long bed. Definitely a change around town though compared to a VW GTI!

Some great builds in this thread! Feel like I've seen some of them on TacomaWorld too. Here's my 2017 TRD Sport. Only real overland stuff is the softtopper, my other mods are aesthetic: HIDs and a noisy MBRP cat-back.
