Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

Lol! What was I thinking

 

Too many poles IMO.



See how many parts and pieces he has to put back and take out of the compartment? With a trailer full of gear, it would take 20 - 30 minutes to setup. Too long for $10k IMO.

Also, the fabric isn't close to as durable as an RTT, Springbow, or OZ tent. As @Iggy know , I'm a huge proponent of heavy, durable fabric for car- camping tent material. 10 - 15 extra lbs. on your back would be brutal, but nothing for a vehicle. It should be thick, waterproof, and wear- resistant. Plus, if you're not using it for a utility trailer, you still have to unload everything, setup the tent, then load it all back in.

If i was looking for a $10k mildly off- roadable trailer, this would be pretty cool:

Dry weight is only 350 lbs heavier.

For more serious off- roading, the trailers that @jberry813, @JLee, and @Mademan925 have are pretty nice. Probably less than $10k

For motorcycle/ atv hauling, a camper like @Iggy 's and a utility trailer would be the same price and more versatile.

Again, just my biased opinion. Don't listen to me- I'm an idiot and not into trailers

 

For that price I would get one of these. http://www.leaddogmotorsports.com/products/5x8-off-road-dog-house/

I almost bought one before I went all Phil on my truck.

 

You'll thank me when you sit up, climb out of bed, stand up, stretch your arms above your head, get dressed, and make a cup of coffee inside the camper on a cold morning.

Just don't wake me up...

 

Haha! The trailer was a brief thought. If anything I can build something like it for the 4Runner and light trails. Fully committed to the camper!

 

Damn it! What was the asking price?

 

$1000

 

1k.....

 

Its a joke. As soon as we fix the mesh where the asshole tore through the marmot will be fine. We only do spring/ summer camping anyway. The ground suits us just fine.

Ps. I value your opinion phil. 30 mins is way too long to just set up a tent. Id expect the fort ready for party in that amount of time.

 

Holla!

 

How hot you got that sucker?

 

Just 550. Few minutes, eh voila!


EDIT: Can't claim the crust.....COSTCO.

 

I buy local pizza dough for my BBQ pizza needs

 

Apparently gotta up my pizza game....

 

Spotted in Petaluma. Methods and bed bars, who are you?

 

I'm celebrating the win today...

 

Dad all my homework is done can I play video games?

No but you can pull some nails

 

I met someone with a really cool 4Runner and trailer/RTT at Pinecrest lake last year. They packed up and left the day I arrived. Said he did the Rubicon and such with his set up. Really long togue and hitch on the trailer.

Is that one of those people? I think he said he was from the north bay?

Pretty sure he had a straight axle front but I don't remember.
