Car Camping / Trip Reports / Photos / Buildouts / “Overland” / Expedition Rigs Area (homeless?)

I used to stock these at my old job, which was a gold exploration drilling company. Those guys are extremely hard on things. The lights are crazy tough, we never had to get replacement parts for the lights or remotes.

 

All seasoned and ready to be smoked Carolina style!

Happy new year everyone

 

My roommate is from North Cackalacky and when he uses his secret family recipes I just drool for days! I wish he was here now so I had something good to eat, I guess some Coors Banquets will have to suffice bringing in the new year...

 

Finally got around to mounting my roof rack. Came out good. Next is to make mounts for my fuel cans, get shovel and axe mounts and finally some led bars for the left, right and rear


It's nice to be able to use the over head crane in the hangar. Made life a lot easier.

 

Nice Rack, are you planning on adding an RTT to it?

 

It's a lot of fun to smoke or grill stuff, these are ribs, I use dales butt rub for pork, let them sit over night then around 1 I put them on the grill and keep the temp at 250* for 2 hours while spraying every so after with Apple juice. Then I put on a mustard based sauce for about an hour then wrap them up and cook for another hour. I use hickory chips for my smoke. Around 5 they'll be done and falling off the bone. You should try it, it's a lot of fun.

 

Nope no need for a RTT, just going to add the fuel can, shoveling axe mounts and a couple small led bars

 

Everyone needs a RTT!

 

sub'd

 

Ya they are cool. But I don't need one if I'm the only one. The wife doesnt really like to do out door stuff or camp

Ya that's exactly what I do.

Here's my set up

 

Same here. As much as I'd like an RTT or a flip pack I doubt I'd get many chances to use it.

This set up works really well for scuba diving as well. The tanks go down below, the gear goes up top.

I'm toying with the idea of adding some drawers.

 

whelp starting to build my expedition trailer this weekend

 

Great looking rigs you guys! My truck is starting to look like an overland/expo rig, but with nowhere to go for that sort of thing here
Another downside to living on a rock in the middle of the ocean.

 

You should make your truck submersible...."underwater" rig, and you can island hop.

Love the look of the truck btw.

 

I feel you pain man, Kodiak only had 40 miles of paved road. Then the trails after that aren't that long. Ton of 4 wheeler trails but not big enough for our trucks....

 

i'd love to get a shell and sleep in it but im 6'2 and my bed is only 5ft i might look funny with my feet hanging out the end,lol.
I think its sierra expeditions makes storage crates that fit in out beds that you could set a bed on top of, they have pull out drawers.

Anyone using a

$240 Viair 400p - 40043 Portable Compressor Kit. Tire Pump, Truck/SUV Tire Inflator, For Up to 35" Tires

Viair 400p in here and can give me any feedback, i think i want to mount it behind my seat but i'll have to replace the airhose to get to all 4 tires.

 

That's my problem too, 6'1".

 

I'm 5'9" and have slept in my bed once. I have a toolbox up front so I slid my feet under it and laid my head out on the tailgate. I didn't hang over but it was close.

 

Yea with the tailgate down it's not bad, unless you don't have any cushion.. But when it's cold I want to be able to stay all buttoned up in there. I tend to sleep on my side curled a little anyways, just have to curl more.

 

RTT FTW
