Truck Camping Photo Thread

Silver Fork American River

 

First post. Got the Taco to access more terrain in Colorado for camping and exploring. It’s exactly what I needed.

 

Nice set up!
Welcome to the forum!

 

First time out with the new rig 3 weeks ago. Camped at a little campground on the New River. Mile down from Sandstone falls outside of Hinton, West V. Had a great time with the new I-Kamper.

Looking out the Annex from our site.

 

How long have you used the gotreads and have you ever had to use them for recovery? If yes, are they any good for recovery?

Most pics I see of them they are used as leveling blocks like you are (I assume these are gotreads, apologize if I am incorrect). I like the idea of them being dual purpose, but have not read good things about them in recovery vs. standard traction boards.

 

Where abouts in CT is this (or where in CT are you from)? I am in San Diego now but grew up in the northeast part of CT. Used to camp at Burlingame RI and Cape Code a lot growing up.

 

Sierra’s

 

Hey that looks familiar!

 

Yeah I like Burlingame. Super chill and next to misquamicut beach . Westerly is nice

 

Yup, they’re GoTreads. I’ve had them for about a year and have used them for basic recovery with ice/snow with a SUV. They worked well for that but I haven’t used them with the truck yet.

The standard rigid traction board will be better than GoTreads pretty much all the time but I went with these to save some space and the dual use. I carry two in the bed on a molle panel above the wheel well and they slot in perfectly.

Between a shovel and GoTreads, I’m thinking this will suffice for 99% of the trails I run (up to moderate for now and no heavy mudding). Time will tell though.

 

Where abouts in CO are ya?

 

Wyoming

 

This is in the promised land state park PA I’m from Danbury ct I like to travel to different camp grounds just came back from Maine Acadia state park

I have to ask,was this anyone here? Yes i took this picture it is not fake i saw it with my own eyes. It was a white toyota pickup,1st gen,with a canvas truck bed tent all set up in the bed ,driving through the city in Maine( insert redneck joke here) traveling at 35 mph. I followed if for 4 miles and that tent is rugged for sure. LOL

 

Maybe had to air it out!! Had a little accident

 

when I die and go to heaven, the Sleeping Bear area will be where I live....when i am not in Iceland!!!

I love that area!! We go at least every other year.

Next year will be the first time with the Taco!!!

 

I want to share….

Took my truck (Topper is a loaner, white one is coming in four weeks, don’t be harsh.) over the current river while camping at Pulltite. The Ferry was closed and the shallow part becomes a crossing point.

 

Dang that’s deep! Hope you have dif breathers lol great pic!
