Yea the trailer will be like a 20’+, just something comfortable to go back too. This is more or less an exposure trip for the wife to try to sway her to the great outdoors lol. So base camp at a KOA kind of thing and adventures during the day. I’ll check out the forest service website thanks...
Hello All,
Hoping to get some information from y’all. My family and I are going to Colorado for a family vacation end of May. Coming from South Texas, so it’s a lot of driving. My game plan is to rent a trailer when we get to Colorado Springs area and basically jump from camp site to camp site...
So previous post you see it all torn out of the truck. Everything was getting a pressure washing and I was taking inventory of what else I need to buy and order to finish loading out the bed properly. As you can see in the pictures I attached, the Leitner rack is bent a little from improper...
The REAL reason I sold the camper shell was I fell into a stupid cheap deal on a Leitner rack, Tent and decked storage system.
I picked this rack up from non other than Demolition Ranch from Youtube! Unfortunately it was shot show and I didn't get to meet him lol. While picking up the rack and...
I don't think much happened until Jan 22' since the wheels.
So this past week I sold the camper shell. I didn't like the aesthetics of it, the front window didn't latch, the rear door latched only on one side, it leaked a little, you can see where i'm going with this. Was time for a change.
I'm not sure where I'm at in my timeline maybe Aug 21'?
The BFG's were getting fairly bald and one of them was leaking. So naturally I had to go tire shopping! Also decided to switch up the wheels since Method NV's seem to be the go to for everybody it seems like.
Tires I chose to go out of my...
Installed a hood vinyl. Typically these trucks already have them but mine did not. In anticipation for roof lights I decided to put one back on the truck. I also like the aesthetics.
So, I guess this is an Overlanding community let me get back on track with something more Overlandy. Audio isn't necessarily an upgrade but while i was installing Ram mounts and power for my devices I upgraded the speakers while I was up there.
The Ram mount looking USB/USB-C power modules are...
Per mandate of the Raptor community, I had to take a drive to Starbucks and the mall. I couldn't commit to Starbucks and this was the closest thing to the mall that my truck was going to.
Maintenance has begun! 129k on a truck is probably not the best starting place for a drive anywhere reliably truck lol.....I am a sucker for punishment I guess.
Started with changing out ALL the fluids to Amsoil. I am a dealer and have been using it in all my cars for 15 years.
Replaced the...
So, first thing to do was take care of the rust! This was apparently a Nebraska truck and well....midwest rust came with it down to Texas. Thankfully I was buying it from a guy that worked at a bodyshop.
Hello All,
Intro about me:
This will be where ill update you guys with my version of a camping/overland truck. This story has already been going for over a year so ill attempt to backdate with everything I've done to the truck since owning it and continue to update as progress happens. I would...
Not sure if any of you use the BFGoodrich Ontrail app but I created the "Texas Hill Country Overland Route". I finally found a map of it on GPS and recreated it on that app. So if you use the app give it a try. I wont be able to go test it out for myself for a couple more months
