Little to serious. No beer drinking and bullshittin' on trails. It's like Nolen for 3 days yelling at you for double picture posts in pic thread.

Awesome

My over landing cred just shot through the roof

Infinity cred.

Don't tease. Show us a pic of it deployed.

My tent is still on the roof of my truck. Can't get motivated to take it off so I'm pimping it around town.

Tomorrow. At a football game

I bet it's gonna be tough to mount the RTT with that on there huh? Much taller than my awning and mine made securing that side of the RTT a PITA.

Where did you buy it from? I wish I had one the other day with the kids in a parking lot just to get them all feed snacks and changed. Next on list after the roof rack.

If it's not the batwing, don't even dare to show your face, Grogan.

Looks like a FoxWing.

It is a Foxing. I could not figure out the difference between it and a Batwing except the Foxing was made by the people that make OzTent so I know it is good.

RTT.....not sure it will ever go back up there. It is a total pain in my ass up there. I like it on the trailer. That said, if the RTT goes back up there....which I am sure it will for something, I wanted it on the Passenger side anyway because that cover falling over the drivers side is lame.

It is big, no doubt. Sleek though. I am looking forward to setting it up tomorrow after work.

Yeah, I am hoping to use it on tailgating outings and school stuff too. I know I would have killed for it in Big Bend.

Slee sells em. I have been wanting to buy something from them. I ordered my FrontRunner direct and didn't realize they were a dealer.....

Not sure if any of you in the truck camping contingent have been following this, but this is a pretty good series; It's a 12-part series where some guys (including Curt from Cruiser Outfitters) trick out some 4runners and a Tundra and drive from Montana down through Central America all the way to the cape in Panama. It's got some hokey stuff in it (you know, the stuff that makes the overlanding crowd an easy target to get made fun of - like excessive/frequent use of MaxTrax), but for the most part it's really well done and I have really enjoyed it. The final episode gets released tonight:
