    i roughed it in the back of my truck last month in the dairy state forest
    air mattress and a bunch of pillows was good enough
    the bugs eventually went away and it did not rain on me :crapstorm:
    your set up looks a bit more comfortable

    Yea, I’m super happy with mine and that was a year ago 35,000 miles ago and working perfectly.
    Don’t have to worry about any of those driveshaft parts failing

    Nice that thing was mint back in the day!!! Sad they are not longer being made, not a huge fan of other current designs.

    Trucks getting dialed in! Shop did a really good job on the air tank bracket!
    Tucked high and away from any possible contact.
    [​IMG]

    Locking pins/tabs for the swing-outs also work great.
    [​IMG]
    Propane tank mount also coming along.
    Keeping it outside the cab and shell.

    Tire has been leveled to clear the back window, now has tow hitch mount inside the spare for more accessories!
    Bike rack is also being modified to work with new spare tire hitch!

    I've roughed it for years; this truck was purchased with the intent to take me to places I'd want to spend time at and enjoy vs parking miles away and backpacking out to and back again. I still enjoy backpacking but there are times where I rather just drive up, park, and enjoy the sunset.

    This was just 2 weeks ago at Prewitt Ridge -

    Love the build, I see the taco looks to be prepped for the high speed dirt road life, how do you the think the flip-pax would do high speed dirt roads? If I remember they're fairly basic and robust in design...

    How'd that happen? It usually doesn't just happen without overheating, overheat by chance?
