How does one repost a picture? Save it on my phone then post it as my own?

 

You forgot to put overlanding in quotes.

 

That's what I did cause I don't really know how use it. Then just tagged the owner and pound signed the phrase as indicated

 

I call what we do glamping because when I was a kid we drove the truck as far as we could. Then grabbed all of our shit and hiked to a spot with a river close by as our "cooler"

 

I do this in three tiers now.

Drive the vehicle as close as possible.

Load up the bike and go as far as possible.

Stash it and hike in a little further to the camp site.

Hiking is dumb

 

Haha well when you're 5 years old and you're dad has to do everything and you just help carry everything. You don't go too far haha

 

That's exactly what I did on mine. 10 gallon in the spot where the spare tire goes and the pump in the same.

 

This one. It is on my build page too......

RV 10 Gallon Fresh Water Tank (F.D.A. Approved)

$73 Class A Customs | T-1000 | One (1) RV Fresh Water 10 Gallon Tank, Grey Water

It is a great tank. I believe I have the actual dimensions in my build thread. I noticed that they were a bit different than the vendors but worked well for what I needed.

 

Yes, you could do that as long as you use the correct Hashtag on there and you will be entered.

Or you can use an app called Repost that I like to use, makes it pretty easy.

 

I just want to get out and have fun with friends. I don't care what it's called. lol

Some photos from our trip to Death Valley:



We GLAMP:

 

Man, that Freespirit Tent is big when it is in transport.

How did that smaller light work out that they have?

 

Yeah it's 85" long. Good on 4 runners. Not so great on mine, but isn't bad. Setup is so fast I'll take the trade off.

It worked well, used it one night as area lighting, detached the smaller ones to use nearby. Didn't try charging anything from it. But provides lights when I don't want to string out all the goal zeros.

 

Alex, what brand is that light you guys are using? It looks almost like a 360degree light?

 

Thanks for the info, I am looking for a hard shell RTT to go on top of the cab, but that would be way to big.

Good to know on the lights, I like how it works, and that you can remove the smaller lights off it.

 

Here's a video I put together using my friend's drone footage from our trip to Baja back in November.

The light sabre looking one? That's a florescent tube hooked up to a battery pack. Buddy made it for fun for the trip. Not practical though as it's fragile.

Yeah the tent may not be as bad for you as you have a full cab rack. Can shift it over. The setup is way fast. Usually under a min.

 

Problem is the Shell is not rated to hold but 200lbs. So Need to put the RTT over the Cab. Was looking at an Autohome, but saw that Freespirit had something like that, but can't find it on their website.

 

How do you like the FSR readylight thing? Been eyeing it.. but at the price point it better be brighter than the sun and give off as much as time too haha

 

Ah, I believe GoFSR may have some new stuff coming out. So I'd keep an eye out.

Its nice, I'd try to catch a sale or email them. my username is also a code for 10% I believe. But it is pricey due to the solar/battery pack/detach lights.
