Swisha Loop 2018

Ya that's what I thought it would be like and that would be a plan to do.
I'll be bringing 80L anyways. But might even consider an additional 5-10L just in case.

 

I was thinking an extra 20L may help on the wallet. But I should have two tanks with 80L extra and my main filled.

 

Seems pretty fitting as were on the topic.

Overland travel fuel and tyre calculations

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6WOmlIuncQo

 

I literally just started watching that!

 

Got an alignment today, decided I should get one since I didnt after the full suspension install and I did not want to chance the new tires.

 

But all he really mentioned was how to calculate your l/100 and since we don't do the trips like him where we can actually get a baseline of how much we burn off road it's kind of useless.

I saw it and was going to post the same thing as Taylor then realized it's not super useful. When I watched the other video how to save fuel that he mentioned wasnt up though and haven't checked yet but that might be more useful

 

He said things that I didn’t already know. Got bored and didn’t finish lol.

 

Ya I saw it thinking it was going to be useful. Was useless . Already knew about calculating all that lol

 

So I wanted a trasharoo, I actually want 2. Being able to just have shit hanging off the rear of my truck sounds cool AF. I always see garbage on the trails because others are tards and I want to clean it up, but have nowhere to put it.

Trasharoo

I talked to the wife, she said army surplus, and we hit it up today. Found these for $20, they seem to be exactly what I want. Going to get a 2nd one

 

Haven't you noticed 6ft of space behind your cab?
Careful with those kind of bags, I think @tacoma16 was mentioning that it easily scratches tailgate, might damage your wrap.

 

Nice find. Yeah my tailgate got a bit scratched but nothing crazy.

Also be prepared for people waiving you done to tell you your about to loos a load. Lol.

 

I agree. I need to get my truck loaded up and make a drive to ardbeg and get a some what accurate fuel usage.
May be leveling it shortly so i doubt that will help anymore either...

My driving varies so much. Depends if im in a hurry for work or not haha.

Today was 401, 200km. But drove 110ish and got 13.2l/100 which is acceptable in my opinion.

@llamasmurf I’ll be copying you on that forsure. Probably will just go for one for garbage. Trasharoo is on the list

 

I can see from your nonsense you have not dedicated time to cleaning up a trail or trail maintenance. You never have somewhere to put the garbage. You cant just put old chip bags, pop cans, random paper in the bed of the truck it just flies around.



I picked these bags because of how they mounted to the tailgate, there might be a slight mod to the bottom attach point but other than that they sit nice and flush with no metal touching the tailgate at all. Just have to make sure there is nothing between them when you attach it. The wrap can take one for the team, that's why he got a spot on the team to begin with

 

For me having the garbage in a secure place that doesn’t get in my sleeping or cooking gear was import to me. Plus I can take it off and easily mount it on a tree. I’m a fan of your setup!

 

I just have bunch of construction graded garbage bags with me that I throw into my bed and it worked so far and never fled away, just put something over it. Easier to deal with and doesn't attract "overland" crowd to a truck.

 

4wheelparts actually has the trasharoo on sale right now. You need the overland points, buy one

 

I don't deal with 4wp. Rather give CT Motorsport the business and he has the same if not better prices.

I got my trasharoo from CT I'll be mounting to the bed rack so I don't get the swirl marks.

 

Cant wait till i get a RTT and bed rack.

F u guys.

 

Going full overland, joking. When is this happening? I saw the drawings for the rack your getting made.. what tent?

Honestly if the girlfriend came with me more i could justify the rtt. But a nice tent for $100 and a mattress. I still have 800$ left minimum to play with.

 

Yea full overland will not be probably 2 years for me, as we already have a perfect camping setup that works for us camping just locally to us.

The rack that im messing with has to be able to go in the bed and be easily removable as the tent takes the entire bed each night.

I am glad to see so many new tent manufacturers arriving all the time. Will be way more choice when I get around to them.
