Alabama thread!

you wanna ride somewhere after we go to Huntsville Sat? @Gilmorec61 is riding Sat with a few 4Rs.

 

I don't know why, but this one made me laugh.
The mask thing is weird to me. First I hear they don't work, then I hear they do, then I hear some do, but most don't, now I see folks wearing face shields. Most everyone in my area is wearing one in public now.

 

Wheres he riding?

 

TW needs a mask emoji

 

So i love my RTT but i know when i on wheeling strickly trips like to windrock or something im not gonna wanna have it on the truck. Thinking about getting one of the OZ Tents. Keeping the RTT for overlanding type trips (plus thats the only way i can get my girl to go with me ) Anyway anyone have any experience with them. I just like how it takes like 3 min to setup.

 

if you're going ground tent, I can't recommend the gazelle enough. less than 90 second setup AND teardown.

 

I was thinking something along the lines of a swag type tent and not a big one. Do they make one of those?

 

I’m a Big Agnes ground tent kinda guy. We have Mountain Hardware and North Face tents, but Big Agnes takes the cake for us!

This is what i would want but not trying to pay $500 for a ground tent

 

have you guys saw how much smittybilt tents have increased in price?

 

why would you not want to have it on the truck at a park?

 

swag type?

the Gazelle T3 is smaller

 

Weight/ visibility and truck feels better with it off when im strictly wheeling. You'd just have to drive my truck to understand haha.

I actually think mine does better with the extra weight over the rear wheels when it is on. Biggest negative, raises center of balance.

 

interesting, not sure why you'd not just want a standard one and have your own sleeping stuff though. I only see that as an advantage maybe if you're backpacking?

 

4cyl

 

Basically i can take it out of a bag and its done lol. Plus the pack up is easy. IDK ill look at all options. Maybe my truck will feel diffrent when i have a front diff haha.

 

yes, instant tents are common now and most are "take out of the bag and done". just toss a sleeping bag or whatever in.

10 seconds ain't gonna kill you on setting up a way to sleep inside.

 

Another reason also is i store my tent 40 min from my house. I could throw this tent in a closet and into the truck and be done with it. Id have to drive and mont my rtt for every overnight wheeling trip and most of the time it stays on the truck for months because i dont want to hassle with driving over to store it.
