    The the inside living quarters. Generally super comfy, 6500 BTU furnace, queen memory foam mattress, TV w/attached PC (great for editing 35mm pics after a day of hiking), two slide out tables for dining and enough storage space that I cant even reach the depths of it, and have to usually climb in to grab deep stuff:

    Good looking rig! Army green would have been my next choice.

    When I've got a heavy load in the bed of my 2.7L/auto 2WD RC, the braking performance is affected rather than the acceleration; I found this out the hard way a few years ago when I was working as a barback at a nightclub. I was hauling these two incredibly heavy planters, and another barback had come along with me to help unload the truck; We were driving the cargo from the bar to the bar owner's $2 million house that was a few miles away. We got to the house and I hit the brakes, expecting to decelerate into the turn, but the truck kept going straight and I almost slammed into one of the stone lamppost things at the edge of the driveway. The bar owner's house is lcoated on a windy backroad, and I'll admit I was going a bit above the speed limit, but I've never had a load decrease my stopping distance by that much!

    @Sasquatch3153

    The firepit shell seen in the first three pictures may have been what caused the aforementioned drop in braking performance, but I don't remember...

    It was definitely the planters, and there were actually four of them requiring two trips!; I just didn't think to take pictures...
