Truck Camping Photo Thread

Bisti Badlands, New Mexico back in April. Long drive from Georgia!

 

Nice. Just got my gazelle T4 yesterday. Headed to NM and CO in about a month

 

Appreciate you

 

Looks freaking great. Love the moose!

 

Not exactly camping but might camp here next time.

 

Haul Road / Dalton Highway on way to Arctic Circle Alaska Sept. 2021 (30 days camping all over Alaska)

 

Like that teardrop -
Similar to mine - do you run that with just ECT or do you run ECT + S4

 

So far so good with the Roofnest Condor Overland on the custom FRO Slimline II bedrack mounted to the DB HD cover. The Condor Overland is about 165lbs and the previous rtt setup was with the Tepui Ayer II that was about 94lbs. Current rtt setup still feels solid on the Diamondback cover. The Tepui was on the Diamondback/FRO setup for about 3.5yrs (July 2018 to around December 2021) with no major accidents or issues. The Roofnest has been on there for about 8.5mos with no major accidents or issues. Because the Condor Overland is heavier and shorter than the Ayer II, I added two more extra tent mount brackets (6total) to hold the extra weight better and was able to switch out to the taller approximately 8” tall legs (from the 6” tall legs) for the bedrack.


A night of solo camping in the desert on the way from Cali to Utah to join our church’s EDGE Ministry annual camping
trip.


Onward to Deer Haven Campground, Dixie National Forest

Jousting with the moonlight again with the BD Squadrons



We had three Tacos at camp. …we had to do a group pic together.

 

Sighting one of these bad boys is on my bucket list for sure!

 

Looks like a great adventure!!

 

Hope you missed all of the flash flooding in Utah. Moab got hammered. Safe travels!

 

I heard about that. Hopefully, people are okay in Moab. We mainly visited Zion, Cedar Breaks, Red Canyon (mountain biked Thunder Mountain, but forgot the phone in the truck; so, no pics), Bryce Cyn, and Cedar City during the camping trip. We did start getting alerts for the flash flood warning while on the shuttle Sunday afternoon after we hiked The Narrows. It doesn’t sound like anyone got caught in a flash flood there.

 

A drone shot of our camp by one of the campers.Got me while brushing my teeth. Lol

 

Looks like awesome trout water!

And damn I love that truck

 

I have a 6 speed manual…

 

Glad you missed it

 

Are your tires 285’s or 265’s?

 

I've been meaning to take a trip out to these falls. Looks awesome!

 

Heh. Nope - haven't run into any fictional characters out here. Just the pronghorns, an owl, some coyotes, and the flies. Only humans I have seen were a few motocross bubbas carving up some hills, a couple of pickups, and a side by side. Tensleep to the Forest was pretty busy when I drove over the mountain to have dinner in Buffalo, WY. Such a nice drive.

The trailer is sitting on 285 70 17 KO2s, the truck is sitting on 275 70 17 KO2s (121R E1 RWL) on Vision Manx 2: 17 x 9 6-139.70 12 BKMTXX wheels. That's +12 mm on the offset. I was going back and forth between pizza cutter 255s and 285s so I decided to keep it conservative. When the trailer tires wear out I'll replace them with 275s.

 

It's definitely worth it! The paddle to the falls is around 2 hours round trip, so it's not bad at all.
