    It took me one time sleeping in my 4Runner to realize it wasn't for me. Good sleeping pad and a ground tent did the trick for us when we drove her car cross country and ever since.
    Even the DIY threads land you in the thousands which is still really steep. The lady and I have a nice tent (Nemo Hornet Elite) and a cheap tent (Ozark trail from walmart) and both do the job just fine. Naturally, the Nemo tent is nicer but both have easy set ups and have seen many nights (the ozark more). Which one we bring really matters on where we're camping and what we're doing.

    You cannot just tell people to ignore the toes and expect them to ignore the toes...you’re just drawing attention to them!
    I didn’t even notice and then had to look for them!

    Edit.... guess I'm 7



    Drifter is about 340lbs base, not much more than a shell/rack/rtt combo. Good thing is the weight is very evenly distributed, my truck is actually perfectly balanced front to rear

    Convenience/ease of use, space for activities and of course EAF factor is a whole other conversation

    I don't think Vagabond has struts on the outside. Could be wrong though.

    You are not helping Jay! I think probability of me getting a Drifter is equally proportional to the amount of time I spend in this Nor-Cal group. We all started by saying I want to keep things simple. Obviously that didn't work.

    Lets do this. Group buy? Ideas? Contacts? I dont know too much about driveshafts besides standard maintenance, perhaps buy an upgraded one ?? and take out our existing driveshafts to be spares? driveshaft mod day? OEM the way to go all around? I could use the education my sensaes ... -young grasshopper

    edit: @K_Sandhu had a ":spy:" in there too, but I dont know how to edit in a quote after the fact.
