    Lots...see build
    Gotta sub to this for ideas!
    I'd like to develop some sort of sleeping platform/storage system in the bed, and with a brief glance I've seen some great new ideas in here.
    I also joined Expedition Portal a few months ago but haven't done anything over there. I joined because I saw a guy in my home town in North County San Diego with a red 2nd gen double cab with an aluminum camper shell, roof rack with pelican cases, and a plate front bumper. I went up to talk to him (in the middle of the intersection :p) and he was in the middle of a trip from Washington State to Baja. He told me he's not on TW but is on expedition portal and has a website blog documenting his truck and trip. I don't remember what the website was, though! Anyone recognize him?

    Any of you guys have experience with the high end coolers? I have a unique situation that might allow me to do a group buy on here for yeti coolers. It would probably be 20% off retail which is pretty good. Obviously, fridges are nice, but coolers are still important.

    You guys have any interest?

    i know they are super expensive, i've looked. i was going to get a small blue one. 20% is a good deal off when some of these are 700 dollars.

    For anyone that doesnt know about Yeti's they will keep ice and stuff cold for 3 days before it starts to melt off.
