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

If I curl up a bit more I fit really nicely on my backseat. That doesn't work so well with the wife though... haha We usually just pack a little 7'x7' ground tent with a queen size inflatable mattress.

 

Jess looks like a "Fuck Morning" kind of person here. haha

 

What is the pole in this picture in the corner of the bed. Looks like some electronics. Wind meter or camera?

 

might be a ham radio

 

its a telescoping led camp light. its on a tripod pole attatched to the bed, so it folds down, and can be extended up like that to provide light on the camp site at night

 

Should have gotten a long bed hahaha

 

That's basically how I want my setup to be

 

yep but i didn't think i'd need one/ i'll just stick with my tent for now/ I wonder if one of the tents that goes in the bed with the additional room off the back for changing would work decent. thats another 300 dollar option instead of 11-1500

 

Nah she was making dinner haha she was singing and concentrating so wasn't really repping her normal big smile. She is actually a big morning person

VVV this.

I have two of them. One of each side. Love them.

 

You are the Israeli Soldier that developed it?

 

can any of you guys recommend a good tube clamp light mount, I like the design of this one but can only find it in 1.5" and 2.5", I need 2"

 

I'll just put this here...

Looks like the same place that TG-US tried to do.

 

No stress. I have been trying to get some of that stainless steel cable woven into screen they use at the zoos and other places. Think chicken wire, chicken fence. Wanted to get some of it for a grill idea I had, and to secure loads. Got a kit as a gift one year for luggage. Wrapped around the whole piece of luggage and then locked. Like a laundry bag made out of steel that locked.

That guy is awesome. Props.

 

Arctictrucks.com

They make a kit that will let you add 38" tires and 35" tires. Pretty awesome website.

 

Got my alternative to a high lift jack today from a company called safe jack. It's a 6ton jack and it fits in the factory location. Comes with the extensions so you arent over extending and the flat plate and frame /tubing adapter too

 

NICE!!!!

 

How much did that cost?

 

...................................................yes, i know. i was there

 

Hmm that jack is cool!

 

with the kit then the larger orange base plate plus shipping it was like $300 I think.

Well I think it's pretty sturdy, and everything fits together very well. I think it will stay solid under loads.

Ya I just liked the fact that it goes right in the factory location under the seats too
