Years ago, yes, in the mountains in Colorado, a guy's overhead camper blew off his pickup truck, he went back, found it upright, wife and two kids inside were just fine. And, yes, it was tied down correctly for the time.

Thanks for the tips, guys. I picked up a heavy-duty waterproof dog food bag years ago for an insanely cheap price, now I know how to use it.

A couple of things.... The gas 6.0 liter in the US first came out in 2004, I ordered one in fall of 2003 and waited a bit. All US NPRs are auto's last I heard. The thought of avoiding the opaque roof seems a bit short sighted to me. There's ample framing up there to put in a plywood top and...

The boxes made to fit under a flatbed truck are available, you'd likely use them turned 90 degrees, however. Many sizes, and often used on Craigslist and other sources.

I take it that the above was meant to be lag screws. I've used many brands over the years, and the among the best in my experience has been Spax. Two cautions, however. First, I'd want to use hex heads because they'd be reused for a very long time. I've not had very good luck with reusing the...

Speaking of protecting your bumper, I've wondered if simply welding "fake" fasteners may be discouragement enough. On a bumper mount, you'd need a "bolt" welded on one side, and a threaded nut welded at the proper location on the other. (no guarantees from me) As to stealing the bumper with the...

Kerensky97: Quote: "A fantastically powerful winch, mounted to solid frame extraction points will tear your body clean off your axles if you don't take the time to do a little digging around bogged wheels with a $15 shovel." I think I understand the point, a shovel is a huge benefit in many...

free bump Have not been there, but every story I've read tells me that you are not allowed to swim there. The only access is a bus that makes trips to the Arctic Ocean, and you have a few minutes to be there, dip your toes in, and get back to Deadhorse. No private vehicles allowed. Dale

Not the same box, but NRS sells a lot of things with overlap in this and several outdoor communities. Worth checking out. https://www.nrs.com/about/ Dale
