    200 series OEM shocks into an 80 series?

    Hi guys, this might sound dumb, but i have to ask. can this even work? couldn't find anything in the searches. there's a local guy here unloading 200 series shocks for cheap (removed from rigs that were armoured and needed suspension upgrades) still have the factory set up with my 91 diesel...

    Minimalist vehicle-borne camping

    +1 on minimalist camping. i think it's the best kind of camping for me. less stuff to organize and i find great satisfaction in finishing a trip with just the bare minimum (while staying comfy and fed nice!). i do car camping as well with the coolers, chairs, bikes, dishes, and extra crap...

    Awning room as a primary tent?

    all these talks about Oz tents and annex/awning rooms made me think of one solution. since the awning is easily removable, why not unbolt it and suspend it off a tree trunk or thick overhanging branch? peg down the frame from behind with adjustable straps to keep it steady and roll out the...

    Awning room as a primary tent?

    always had this idea of everyone sleeping in the rrtt/annex combo that i got a while ago. in reality, only the RTT has been used and sometimes the awning with it or separately if i moved it from the truck to the van. now that the RTT's been put away in storage, it makes more sense to make the...

    RTT game changers?

    i think the good materials/fabrics have been around for some time. it just boils down to build cost and who'd buy the tents. vapour barrier is definitely awesome for up in the arctic but that's a niche need, imho. our generic regular RTT's get the job done with ventilation and adequate...

    Roof Rack Storage Bag

    for what it's worth, this was my set up with an RTT (which could be some other roof rack with other things). i was getting not so good mileage (even with the diesel) and found this older thule roof box. i pushed the RTT further back and made it fit with another set of load bars and this...
