Truck Camping Photo Thread

I'll be camping this upcoming holiday weekend and will be sure to take some pics of my setup with my Tacoma and tent.

 

Care to show some pics of that "ChuckBox"?
Did you build it yourself?

I will get some pics up of it this week. llibrm and I made it, it's his but I barrow it when I need it. We way over engineered it. Things is heavy as hell. It did bounce out of his truck once and broke the rock it landed on, no damage to the chuckbox.

Chuckbox 2.0 will be a little lighter and have legs.

 

Had the truck for about 2 months now.. finally got the setup for camping this past week and used it last weekend. Plenty of room for 2. Gonna take this bad boy for a trip out west eventually this summer...

 

Its the Habitat 4. No garage.

I love this tent.

 

Here's a couple from the weekend.

 

It was a snug fit for sure. I am looking into the state's rules on adding a third seatbelt to the back to squeeze in our oldest (he is 7 now). The dog will get moved to the front with my wife. I will need to get the bunk-o-beds for the tent.

It would be a really tight fit and wouldn't want to do it for more than a couple of hours. Another booster seat will fit in the middle, so there is room. My truck is paid off, we are trying to pay off my wife's car right now, so I can't buy a bigger truck until we finish doing that.

 

Nice! +1 on the propane pit. Very handy. I love mine.

 

Yep. I love it. Everybody was bummed about fire restrictions. Not me !!

 

I just looked and noticed that REO brought back the Habitat line. I have the model from 5-6 years ago. I didn't remember the garage being available for the 4, or the 6. I wonder if the newer garage can be setup to work on mine.

I need new tent stakes... sorry, squire!

 

AZ just implemented the yearly fire restrictions in most areas. Propane only unless in a designated campground and then only in a designated grill or camp fire ring.

 

We have don't have mother nature preventing fires in AZ. We have to rely on the Slurry Bombers. As things dry out, there has to be steps to protect our beautiful state from the dumbass of the world.

That said, it sucks not having one in the summer.

 

Funny and very true!

--Sig worthy!

 

Protection from dumbasses is a full time necessity..............

 

X12. No fire = no camping.

 

Just ordered my Airbedz this weekend. Which model do you have? I went w/ the more expensive one since the pump is built in and runs on a rechargeable battery. Can add air in the middle of the night if you have a small leak or under filled it and the cool morning air exaggerated the issue. Hopefully it's in stock. When I was looking about a month ago, they only had the cheaper version is stock w/ none of the other model available anywhere I looked. I bought the air mattress from one source and the wheel well fillers, for home use, extra rechargeable battery pack, and 12v DC plug for the truck from another source. Can't wait. I'll probably sleep on it in the driveway when it gets here to try it out.

 

pretty sure i got the cheaper one. just the mattress w/out the well inserts, but it came with the 12v dc air pump which actually worked pretty well. Soooo comfy, hell i even slept on the well for most of the night and couldnt even tell... maybe the beer had something to do with that haha
