O yeah I've seen that picture around

 

Its far too fragile lol

Can't say I'm not jealous of the space in them though. Friend of mine has one he using for mountain biking and camping as well, they can definitely be real nice

 

That thing's a nuisance

 

Do y'all burn sage or use an incense for the van?

 

Transmission fluid

 

It's really such a sweet upgrade for a camp setup. But a huge compromise getting down the trail. I don't mind I have gotten very used to going slow. My friends complain like crazy though, they don't understand how to slow down and enjoy the moment.

 

It's delightful if you want to visit well traveled places. It genuinely does look very comfortable to sleep in which is important because it really fatigues its owner if you make it do even the most mild stock truck capable trails at more than pack mule speed.

Seriously you should hear the noises its owner makes after the vehicle goes down the trail, It's like the van is speaking through him. It says things like, "I don't want to go up that it's unstable", "I really don't like how it feels doing that", "you guys go around me I'll find a different way", or "I'll just stay back here".

 

I tend to agree with that, more options but a little awkward looking. I run 255/75/17s and i think it worked out pretty well, especially coming from a set of leaky, corroded 15"s. I probably wouldn't have done it if my previous set of wheels wasn't in such poor shape.

 

I've got a set of nearly new 225/75/15 Kumho AT51s on the project T100 that I cannot do anything with really because 15" wheels are so dead as a size now. They won't fit my truck or the Land Cruiser and the T100 can't really use them on the drag strip. I'm going to offer them to the buddy that bought the corolla, maybe he'll shove em on that.

 

One of these days I'll finish properly mounting up my ARE DCU to my flatbed. We made it work for one trip with some lumber and ratchet straps, did not regret all that interior, locked, storage.

 

One of y'all need to buy Tyler's RTT

That bitch is huge

 

I'm trying to get out of an RTT, I don't need another

 

I have one already that's been collecting dust since Moab in 2020...at least it can collect dust indoors now though

 

Got rid of mine cause where I used it a lot was windy AF

It gets super loud in the tent

 

What happened in Moab, stays in Moab (and in that tent)

 

Oh that's never bothered me, I just use earplugs, always have a set in the tent. A lot of that can be mitigated with good placement too when setting up. I'm just ready to try something a little more roomy and insulated.

 

I haven't even opened it since then, probably smells like swamp ass

 

Poor fire extinguisher

 

Ouch, if its been outside you should be opening and airing it at least once every 3-4 months in the sun
