    For those of you with RTTs with a left or right opening, which do you choose?

    I have mounted mine both ways at different times. I originally did it to the passenger side but now I am adding an awning so I have it mounted to the driver's side so my 270* awning covers the kitchen area in the back. If my tent was narrower, I'd turn it and have it flip over the back like the...

    We are headed to Seattle, Portland and Tacoma

    It’s made out of aluminum. Without the tent it’s about 540lbs. With the tent and rack 700. we will still be doing meetups in Seattle, Tacoma and will be doing our virtual meetup from Olympia.

    We are headed to Seattle, Portland and Tacoma

    Due to all the fires and smoke in the Portland area, we had to cancel the Portland meetup but instead we are doing an Instagram Live on Wednesday 9/16 PST for a virtual tour.

    diff lock in 2 high mod

    sorry for my ignorance but what is the 2lo mod?

    aftermarket gauges

    I was thinking maybe I'd mount it on the left part of the dash where the little pocket is. Or possibly in an overhead console of some kind.

    Entune/CarPlay Nav while in motion

    I think the reason for the switch is you only disconnect it when you want to make changes. otherwise you leave it connected so the navigation will work.

    aftermarket gauges

    Where are you guys mounting aftermarket gauges? i have airlift suspension and am adding a gauge to monitor their pressures but I can't decide on a good location to mount it.

    Lake Tahoe meet up 8/15/2020

    Ya there were tons of cars when we went through South Tahoe. most of them were pretty unexciting but there was a Ford GT and a couple Ferraris that were cool.

    23zero tent time lapse video

    While we were camping near Reno this last weekend we did a little time lapse video of taking down our 23zero Breezeway roof top tent. I love how simple it is. It took about 3.5 minutes to complete.

    The lake was a complete zoo but we had a good time. Found a couple good camping spots and did some minor wheeling. its always good to get a way.

    SoCal Feeler: sell my C4 rear bumper, but have to swap beds with your Quicksand LB

    A custom bed would be sweet. I've been wanting to make a bumper (especially after I smashed mine in Moab) but never can find the time and everyone is a few months out on getting them made right now. So if you decide to sell it, let me know.

    Lake Tahoe meet up 8/15/2020

    I'm hoping to make it down to Southern California sometime this winter. Not sure an exact date yet.

    SoCal Feeler: sell my C4 rear bumper, but have to swap beds with your Quicksand LB

    Any chance you'd just sell the bumper? (kinda figure not since your bed is cut but hey worth asking)

    Initial Mods

    In my opinion these are incredibly capable trucks in stock form. I would definitely get a good set of tires. From there it depends on what you like to do with it. do you need racks for bikes, kayaks, etc? camper? totes to store gear? recovery equipment? armor? the list is endless! Just...

    When you go against your better judgement.....

    Luckily none. just pulled it back to all four wheels and then up out of the creek bottom.
  29. TalusGear

    When you go against your better judgement.....

    I was very glad I had two rigs and recovery gear. I always have the recovery gear but it would have been a lot harder without the second truck. I've honestly been amazed by the offroad performance of these trucks.
  30. TalusGear

    When you go against your better judgement.....

    .... this is what happens: Luckily it was a simple recovery to pull it backwards and then back both rigs about a half mile up the road to where we could turn them around. I didn't get a pic of it but the creek crossing was so worn out by utv's climbing up it that it was impassible...

    Imogene and Engineer Pass

    I grew up in Ouray and will be traveling around that area at the end of June. i'll let you know how the trails are. In the past they haven't been bad but I haven't been there in a couple years.

    interested to see pics of how this comes together. I like what you've described.

    Anyone in the Boise area that would want to get together for some trail runs?

    Any DIY bed drawers or "decked" systems?

    I have built both. wood is heavy but cheap. Aluminum is light but gets expensive and requires specialized tools. I personally wouldn't leave wood out in the elements. even if you paint it, it wouldn't last long. aluminum is very durable and powder coat will make it even more durable. You could...

    camper shell vs RTT/ bedrack system

    I don't think there is an ideal setup. I think everyone has different needs which dictate which option they choose. I personally have used both an rtt with rack (current setup) and I also have a truck cap (Leer 122). I prefer the rtt mostly because the tent offers me more space for sleeping and...

    1 Up Bike Rack

    I have a friend who does a lot of bike racing and he and I were just talking about racks today. He swears by his one up rack and recommended them to me for mounting on the side of my tent rack.

    Solar panels

    I use an Bugout 2.0 solar panel from Overland Solar. It folds up into a nice compact package and offers a very effective charge. It charges a secondary 200ah battery in my camper through an MPPT controller. I really like the fact that I can place the solar panel up to about 50 feet away from my...

    Best 4 season roof top tent

    I have a 23zero breezeway. Mine is the 64" queen bed model. It is pretty tight for my daughters and myself but it fits on the back of my short bed Tacoma which I like. Depending on the age of your kids, you might prefer one of the larger ones and maybe mount it on a higher rack up over the cab...
