    Nice! I've been reading a lot about what they call the ancient road ways. There considered public roads due to some fluke, but they are unmaintained roads and open to the public. There are some meets through the Vermont overlanders that I've been checking out, but can't commit to anything yet. Some great country up there, you'll have a blast!

    :drool: I love it dude. I like the water can with the water spigot on it!! That camp set up is legit. Do you have a dedicated "camping cook wear box"? or do you unpack it every time you come home?

    For sure dude. Works out right now I have two bins designated for camping. One has my stove, burner, and adapter hose to 20lb tank. Second one has a variety of kitchen essentials. They stay as camp boxes. I started them to basically to have them grab and go without the feeling of forgetting anything. They may be forever changing, some things added and some things removed as needed.

    Trucks almost ready for Vermont
    Stopped by my dudes today to pick up my custom safari basket :D

    Wanted to get a couple more pics up of the basket before I paint it. I came up with the demensions of a shallow basket to be multi purpose. 1) It's a basket hah, you can fill it with anything from firewood to luggage. 2) I need clearance over my PrInSu Cab Rac for surfboards, paddle boards, and kayaks. So I will run a surf rack pad on the front and rear of the basket to act as cross bars. 3) I will be mounting my ARB awning to the side of it. 4) Adding rear roof lights to it. And I'm sure it will be more useful beyond that the more I use it. Goin over my idea with my dude who fabricated it I had the idea of all aluminum to cut the weight on the cap, he took my idea a step further! We decided on an aluminum frame with a steel floor, the best of both worlds!!
