    I don't understand open bed trucks with racks and tents.

    I am between a cap with a rack over it, or an open rack. Either way it will be made easily removable as I use my bed to its fullest extent. I also have a forklift, so fast removal isnt an issue. It is more of what I stumble across first because i am not blowing money on brand new stuff to beat up.

    Home Built Adventure Trailer out of Utility Bed Trailer

    I know this is an older thread but hopefully you are still active. I am just curious how it has been working out for you. I just missed an awesome deal on a fiberglass utility bed but I am pretty set on going this route. Quite honestly I am a little surprised I havent seen more of these. They...

    Overland Trailer - Lowe’s 3x5 Carry On - Kevin

    Good build. I have to be honest. It's so good, I am not sure why you didnt save the $375 and start from scratch. [emoji23]

    Overland Bar

    Now this is something I can get behind. [emoji23] I have a decent collection at home and have been wondering what I will do as I like beer and the whiskey. And my wife is a bartender so I feel obligated to travel prepared. I like the way you think. [emoji481]

    Discobed XL bunk bed bundle from Costco

    They are certainly heavy and wont work for everyone but I am able to justify them in multiple ways. We are in a full size truck so room isnt an issue and mileage already sucks. [emoji23] In the case one of the kids gets scared, I can lay with them. It will support our dog who likes to lay at our...

    Discobed XL bunk bed bundle from Costco

    First 2 pictures are from costco's website that is linked. The second pic contains the roller bag in the bottom right picture. Everything else is what came with the $250 bundle I picked up in store.

    Discobed XL bunk bed bundle from Costco

    Initial review of the Discobed XL portable bunk bundle from costco I first saw these a couple years ago at cabelas and liked the design but not the price. ($400 base) At the time I wasnt really looking for cots and didnt realize the value. During our trip to costco last week I had to peruse the...

    Your Camping Tables Recommendations...

    I have been debating on a couple of the 6 foot by 18" wide lifetime tables. I have had many of their products and they hold up to abuse. I am building my own bed rack and was gonna make a spot to slide them in right under the RTT. Would also provide a little more rain protection over the bed but...

    I had to cross a river yesterday.

    I may have to respectfully disagree on the no rafting part. [emoji924] [emoji12]

    Legal Weapons and Overlanding

    I completely agree with you. I am guilty to some extent of the above. I have been a mechanic all of my life. I have always preferred fords, partly because they were my first couple vehicles. I always gave my brother crap for preferring chevys but it was just teasing. Him and I always gave...

    Legal Weapons and Overlanding

    [emoji16] I had a feeling this would come up. Keep in mind, I was simply agreeing based on my experiences. Those can vary drastically based on shooting style, years of experience and simple design characteristics. I have big hands therefore I shoot larger frame pistols better. I will list what...

    Legal Weapons and Overlanding

    I agree. It is the best out of the box pistol I have ever had.

    Legal Weapons and Overlanding

    I will sum up this thread by saying I love guns. [emoji23] As far as input, I always have my xdm 40 with me. It is my EDC gun. When traveling more than an hour from home I always grab my AR and ammo bag with 6 mags. Pretty standard 556 rifle. I want to get a keltec ksg for a couple reasons. I...

    Any black powder shooters amongst us?

    I bought a colt 1851 navy at an auction but have yet to shoot it. A little bit nervous as I have never shot this style of black powder before. I hunt with a muzzleloader every year but that is a lot different. Harder to screw up I'll say. [emoji16] I do have a couple of the old kits hiding...

    GMC Canyon SLE CCLB: Boise ID

    Good start. Can you explain the air dam mod? I am a little lost on that one. [emoji848]
