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

I made it 5 or 6 years ago. I made it with the intention of selling it, but ended up liking it so much that it's only come off the truck once since then, when I was building another rack for someone else.

 

That thing is awesome. If I had a tacoma I'd be begging for one right now haha.

 

When you doing the strip?

If y'all don't mind a prerunner with a locker, would love to come.

 

WV hot tub!

 

My buddy stopped by the house yesterday to scoop my RTT for his cross country journey. He is leaving Friday 2/10/2017 and will be headed clockwise starting from Louisiana. If you are on his route show him some love!!

 

Tour looks like an ambitious one! Hope your buddy has a great time!

 

I agree, stay north through Santa Fe and take the "High Road" to Taos at Espanola. The drive is beautiful, takes you through several old Native American villages. Lots of photo ops. One of my favorite drives when we visit. We leave in 8 days to head to Santa Fe for a week, 2nd time in 3 months. We will definitely be doing the High Roas drive. You can also hit the Rio Grande gorge bridge on your way out. Could also hit the highest point in New Mexico, Wheeler Peak in the Taos ski valley and Williams Lake, 2 worthwhile stops.

 

Not gonna drive down the coast?

 

He is going down the Eastern Sierra tho. Definitely worthy of a visit.

 

Thanks for the feedback. I'll pass it along.

 

Am I more EAF now that I have the rear awning and LEDs off the back? Still need to get the side 6ft awning installed. Just don't know if I will do Passenger or Driver side....

 

you need a rear bumper , lol !

 

I know! It is on the list, just a little ways off in terms of price and the need at the moment. Have some other things I want to do first.

 

Isn't that always the way? Constantly going to my 'to do' spreadsheet and moving things around...

 

Same here. I am really tempted to get another 6ft awning so that I have one on both sides of the vehicle lol.

But my main thing is to get Navigation lined out, HAM radio, a new tent, DSLR, and a few smaller things.

 

Get a Foxwing awning to cover the side and rear in one piece.

 

I thought about it, but got the two ARB ones in a group buy.

If I could sell both of the ARB awnings for a good price, I would not mind getting a foxwing instead, seems like a lot easier setup as well and would cover so much more.

 

You're frying bigger fish than I am. I'm still sorting out armor. I made the awful decision to get the factory predator steps when I got the truck instead of getting sliders after. Now sliders are on the list. I know they're more important than a front bumper or a rear with a swingout, but they are so much less cool...

 

I got sliders first before any other armor, then did IFS and mid skid, then got front bumper end of last year.

Now I am just getting gear for camping and such.

 

Great post, great story
