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

The front runner wolf packs are great they interlock and myself having a family of five I have found them to be a necessity.

 

Yes I just picked one up for our last trip and it's a nice product at the moment it's sitting in the back of the old Land Cruiser and it worked well for our week long outing.

 

My God! That's incredible.

 

But there is no wind in Canada, Crom. So, no worries.

 

I have two tarp poles from Cabelas arriving tomorrow.

 

Looking for a good resource on truck bed slide out trays. Any links would be much appreciated!

 

Here I thought you were from canada. My bad

 

Me too. I've seen so many references to your username and Canada, I seriously thought you were in Canada too. Where do you hail from Ding? Also you could probably clear up future confusion by altering your profile to list your general location.

Except for ALBtacoma lists his location as "Red Deer, AB, Canada", so it's instantly clear to forum members where he is.

 

I'm thinking he is near Colorado. But exactly what you said. Lots of Canada reference and also posting in the canada bs thread. Get out of my head doording

 

This is what I have on my fridge slide in the trailer. they are pretty smooth.

I have a half a dozen sets of these(new) in the 34" length. If anyone is interested, I can give you a hell of a deal!

 

So far so good no slide is going to like dist or dirt so I keep them clean and greased the best i can.

 

I went for a premade one and got a bedslide not to long ago. Best purchase I have made for camping yet. Looking at it now though. It is a pretty simple setup. I would get on expedition portal and check out their "show off your drawers thread" there are quite a few setups in truck beds that have full length bearing slides. They are really well done.

 

@sytfu510 has a bed slide he posted recently, or maybe I just saw pictures of it recently? @CoTacoTRD

Edit:

 

Thanks guys this will get me started. I think with my bed rack configuration I will have to go with custom made, made myself, or get close. I think I might try to make this myself with parts and have a local fab shop put together an Aluminum tray. I need to look at more builds first to pull together all the great ideas out there first.

Gears are turning now!

 

I will eventually make a custom aluminum tray for mine when the wood wears out. Right now the wood is fine but it is only the width between the wheel wells. In the front it could be larger and benefit from some more space. I will snap some pics of mine tonight and post them so you can see roughly how it is built. Should help you for your own build.

 

Was it his accent that gave him away?

 

Okay.

 

He said earlier that he has never been to Canada.

 

No snow at all last winter. A couple of days of just freezing weather. Not cold in this part of Canada!
