Finally settled on a rear camping setup that allows me to maximize space and is easily transportable outside.
-New lightweight RTIC 52. has a freezable divider and dry food storage racks on top. will double as a bench for me in the back with top popped. Fits PERFECTLY behind rear wheel well. When I get my new Gull wing windows will be able to put it all the way against the quarter panel since I can hinge it toward middle of vehicle.
-Across is my storage setup of 2 Zarges K470 boxes. They fit EXACTLY behind the wheel wells as well. Bigger one is for camp supplies and top is the chuck box for cook partner steel stove fits perfect on top and I will eventually get a cutting board/cook partner mount wood topper for it.
-Behind cooler 2x water bricks. Fit almost perfect back there.
-Dry food storage in 30$ green coleman cooler. Its pretty squared off so does a lot better than my old action packer with similar footprint.

With this setup I can sit on cooler and have a table across from me. probably can't cook in there with propane and all but with the 3xm gull wing windows coming I probably can. Well see. What mattered most to me was keeping the center open for all the soft gear, that I throw in North Face bags, for climbing, skiing etc. Then when seat folds flat I can throw those by the rear doors and boom- 2 kids can sleep down there while adults go upstairs

Looks awesome. Any worries about the propane tank on its side?

Haha not until now! You talking it getting ejected in an accident? Or something else?

it’s in there tight and made it through some crazy winds today around Tahoe. But I think I might go for the front runner mount

But why??

You don’t want to get a failing grade do you? Rules is rules.

But why??

Real answer

Can a propane tank be transported on it’s side?

“No, you must keep them upright so the pressure relief valve is not immersed in the liquid, the PRV needs to stay in the vapor space so it can function as designed.“

Allllright, got some nights in the desert... all is great. Awning my biggest time killer. The EZ2000 is nice, but solo is tough. I love my truck.

Return trip up the coast: Truck did awesome from beaches to blizzards. I think the Mishimoto is leaking which is unfortunate... glad they have a lifetime warranty.

Is that the lost coast? Looks like Usal beach. That's a great stretch of road.

Did you just recover the rear seats? or re sprung/foamed?

I'm looking to replace the spring base with foam but have seen anyone that has done it yet...

When you pop the top does everything in the Thule Box go flying forward?
