Truck Camping Photo Thread

I love your custom setup. It looks great; very creative! I put your image in the quote so it appears larger for everyone!

J-Tree is fun. My wife and I have vacationed there every year for 6 years in except for the years where kids were being born or she was prego. There are lots of interesting mine sites to visit, especially on the east side of the park. Berdoo Canyon is cool if your entering / exiting from the south.

 

Pretty basic so far. Just a road trip down to Austin to see a friend with a few days camping in Pace Bend SP and Davis Mountains SP. I'm used to public land camping and so felt a bit guilty paying for a site, however they were both quite nice. Texas is almost all privately owned and with so many damn guns I wasn't about to go off exploring since I was alone.

Working on plans for custom over-bed rack with the core as a Thule MOAB. Will be exploring national forests in VA and WV this summer.

Pace Bend is a very well maintained SP, just about 45min from Austin. Lots of boating activity nearby plus river access for swimming on site.


The clear boxes are underbed storage with bifold tops. They fit with just an inch or so under my Roll-n-Lock tonneau and are hella cheap. Plus they have wheels on the bottom which fit almost perfetly in a 1st gen's bed ridges.


I went a bit uhh, crazy with the bungie cords. Hell though, I've had an empty 2.5 gallon can that wasn't strapped down come out and get plastered by a trucker going 70+.


Davis Mountains is almost as far west as Big Bend but not as close to Mexico.


Come on, just a bit closer.



Yes I know I'm a heathen for posting this, but it is still camping and shows how I once had the basket setup. Plus if nothing else it's anti-ricer, so that should count for something. Taken out in the middle of the Black Rock Desert, NV [ie where Burning Man is held].

 

Welcome to the forum. Nice first post, I like the pics!

 

Except those are not SOF uniforms, PEQ-15's are used by SOF, not a MILSPEC suppressor, no plates in the plate carrier, and so on and so on.

 

That's pretty sweet, like a childhood dream come true. A huge tree house to stay in.

 

Nice trailer.

Joshua Tree NP, Ryan Campground? 1st picture, Looking East towards Ryan Mnt. I've never camped there, but have passed through before. Looks just lovely.

^Where is this? Looks like a great place.

 

Camped along the Blackwater River.

 

I concur, bad ass trailer man. Props to you

 

Out having some fun. Truck is getting closer, I have a front plate bumper and M8000 winch that needs to get put on.

 

Go 10,000lb if you can, I have a 8000 and the more I add to the truck the more want a 10K, love your truck by the way

 

Thanks!

I hear you about the winch.........bumper and winch are both purchased and sitting in my shop. I tossed that one around a bit, we shall see how the 8000 does.

 

Is the background in this picture fake? It is too perfect to be real...if it is real I have just found my next road trip!!!

 

I knew it! Can't mistake that playa dust

 

Four Jeffery campground on the South Fork of the Bishop Creek in the Eastern Sierra's

 

I haven't had any issue with my 8000 yet but seems like I'm adding weight every day

 

Thanks!

Truck is looking good. Is this anywhere near the San Luis Reservoir? It looks familiar but I can't quite place it. Don't think it's So. Cal. so trying to remember Nor. Cal spots.

 

Awesome thread. I have only had my Taco for a few months now but I have a snugtop shell on it that will be used as a tent. GRowing up I never really camped but I would love to get going...you guys reccomend any places (nor cal) that I can just get my feet wet?
