I'm running into that same issue with an old iPad 2 I got about a year ago. The OS updates stopped with 9.3.5 and lots of apps now don't support back to that. We just got an update from Hulu that they wouldn't support it anymore, and it was a nightmare trying to get Netflix on there. That's 90%...

I've got a cap and it's been broken into, so I'm not sure they're much safer than an open bed. Maybe slightly less opportunistic. On my Prinsu rack, I use primarily hex/torque bolts, just because people are less likely to have one of those than a Philips or flathead. I just leave a hex...

I'm glad to see this post getting so much attention! I think this is a really good point of conversation and one I've wondered about often. I run a camper shell with a cheapo "drawer" system with a mattress on top. This was only possible because I had the long bed (6ft for Tacoma), I'm 6-3 so...

There are some work for this depending on the app. Netflix is similar. If you have an iPhone, you would basically get the app on that. If the company has an older version cached in the iTunes store (Netflix did, not sure if Gaia does) you can download it a different way from the Purchased tab...

Cab height camper shell with the sleeping platform is just enough for us. The mattress on it is "cozy" and just enough room to roll over, but I wouldn't call it spacious by any means. About enough to lean up on your elbows. Without the platform, maybe with a foldable foam mattress cut around the...

We have a really similar setup! Combination of the sleeping platform you built (almost exactly the same, less than $80 in plywood) with a $200 camper shell. We leave the shell on all the time, the platform is a few pieces and can be taken out if needed. So we can sleep on top and have a few...

Nice truck! We just did a similar trip from TX up to Colorado Springs, across to Black Gunnison NP, and then south through Ouray/Silverton/Durango, White Sands National Monument, back to TX. Unfortunately didn't get to do Alpine Loop in our 2WD Tacoma.. What kind of Falken Tires do you have? A...

Really interested in pics of the inside if you have any! Look at ambulances/sprinters a lot a while back.

I think you'll have a lot of luck with the explorer. One of the main strengths will be having everything enclosed in a single space. I've seen lots of plans for false bottom platforms and drawers for those platforms (fold down or take out 2nd/3rd row seats). The 4runner platform is really...

Another thing I have been looking into is locks keyed to the vehicle type you have. I found this brand for Toyota keys specifically. I was going to give them a shot, but it cuts down on a lot of my concerns with multiple keys. Also only padlocks, would be nice to see a mountable one...

Our Ruby girl! She likes snuggles, swimming, and laying down on the trail while we're hiking. Not sure what breed, everyone says pointer or heeler. Got her from the no-kill shelter at about a year old. Her foster family was able to give us a really cool story behind her. We're happy to be her...

Hey Eric! Thanks for reaching out, wasn't sure anyone was going to see this, but I'm glad I could share a cautionary tale. Like I said, it could have been much worse. Addressing some of your points: The weak point in my case was the lock to the camper shell itself. Not sure how they got in...

Hey Bryan, and specific drawer slides you were looking at? There's a pretty big range in price depending on the weight and length primarily. Some other options I've seen are skateboard bearings in a line, and the edge of the drawer has a lip. The bearings go above and below (need upper ones...

I've got a Tacoma and really like it! I think the new ones fit in the mid size category. It all depends on what you use it for! I do mostly remote camping, not a ton of rock crawling, so I likey double cab long bed (6ft..haha but longer than the 5) so I can sleep in the back diagonal. Others...

Question: is there a better way to secure a truck camper shell and tailgate than the standard keyed locks? Background: I drive a 2013 Toyota Tacoma with an ARE cab height camper shell. We have a false platform we use for sleeping and store our overlanding/camping bins underneath. Think the bins...

Hey Joe, I really like the camper shell you guys have! Any idea what brand? Mine is cab height and we use that space for sleeping, I like that yours has more head room haha

A group of us were replying on this thread from earlier this month. Glad to have some more members in ATX! https://www.overlandbound.com/forums/index.php?threads/19143/

I drive a 2nd Gen Toyota Tacoma (2013, Prerunner, 6ft bed) and the primary reason I do any extended camping/traveling with it is because I have an ARE camper shell. Before the camper shell, I had to get everything up in the cab before going out on a hike or leaving the campsite to have...

I would recommend going to Palo Duro Canyon State Park. Not sure what kind of offroading there is, but definitely good for mountain bikes!

I built a simple/cheap drawer system for my Taco and wanted to chip in. My Gen 2 (2013) has a lip around the bed that is the same height as the wheel well (about 9") It also has notches the height of a 1x6 (I can measure when I get home). So we have 3x 2 ft sections 3/4" ply the width of the...
