Truck Camping Photo Thread

Truck camping pictures from before I got my taco... T100s are almost as cool, right?


Sequoia National Park


Mojave Preserve


Death Valley

 

Fortunately, we camp and wheel with the fuzz most of the time so we know all the rules and regulations before we get there. One of our guys is a Wildland Firefighter

 

May, 2008:
Easy set up!

May, 2009:


July 2010:

In July 2010, Art with his 4WD van/ motorhome and Ken in his Jeep Rubicon joined us.




Josh joined us with his 'sometimes works' 4WD Ford Ranger

July 2011:










Last trip (July 2012):




New Tent!





Something special about having this beach all to yourself, as far as you can see, not another human!

Location: Sea of Cortez (Gulf of California), 150 miles south of U.S. Border (Calexico/ Mexicali), 20 miles south of San Felipe... on Shell Island.

Jan 2019 Edit: A LOT more Baja trips since these photos! See the photos in my trip reports in the Tacoma Word Off-Roading & Trails/Trip Reports forum: https://www.tacomaworld.com/forums/trip-reports.180/

 

Good info, thanks for that.

Nice! Now we only go camping to that spot early in the year at which point there are no fire regulations. Later in the season we just stay in NV.

 

Hopefully I'll be able to get some good camping photos in a couple of weeks when we make our annual trip to Sicily Island

 

Thanks man! I like the soft topper/rack combo, going to look more into this setup. Looks like an awesome meet btw! Is there a link to that thread?

How quickly does that burn through a propane cylinder? I normally use other methods, but I can see times when something like this might come in damned handy. Since I'm carrying a tank for my shower anyway, I've always got one on hand.

 

Sturgeon lake, Alberta, wet but fun

 

On max mode it puts out 55,000 BTU. Each gallon of propane contains 91,600 according to the American Gas Association. A typical BBQ tank (20 pound tank) holds about 4.1 gallons when full, assuming an 80% fill rate when refilled (which is normal). Therefore, 374,576 total BTU when full. 374,576 BTU / 55,000 BTU = 6.81 Hours on high.

That said, I prefer running it on low or medium, but mostly on low if it's just me and the wife. Once the rocks get hot they radiate heat pretty well and provides a more intimate calm setting. When I have company over and I want to impress then I run it on high. .

I love it for many reasons.

1. Instant on
2. NO smoke smell in clothing
3. No burning embers to blow away in the wind and start structure / wild fires
4. Totally portable.
5. Instant off, and you can move it immediately, no waiting, just grab the stainless ring and lift.
6. Propane is relatively cheap and omnipresent.

I recommend reading the reviews on Scamazon. There are a number of manufacturers to choose from. And you can go high end and find one that has fire glass as a substrate (more heat I think). I like the Camp Chef brand personally, not too expensive and decent quality. They make 'em in a few different sizes too.

Anyway, hope that helps.

 

Awesome, thanks! I've used other Camp Chef products and I like them as well. This looks like the perfect setup so I'll be sniffing around for one of these before next season.

 

Went on a long camping trip to Newfoundland.

 

As a Newfoundlander living in Alberta, it's cool to see pics of people going there

 

Here's a few more Newfoundlander ones for you with my old Tacoma.
Had 470,000km's when I started from Toronto heading out there and back. Ran like a top.

^ love it, thanks ^

 

Does anyone know of a good place in Alabama where I can take mine? I bought my tent back in 04 for my 01 Tacoma. Never used it. Now I want to take my 08 Tacoma out and use it. I've only had the tent on my trucks twice and that was to try it out.

 

Here is a pic from this weekend's trip to central northern Nevada. Weather was awesome just needed to stay bundled up.

 

Nice! Whereabouts in NV were you?
