I've been using a pet food bucket (3-gal) with a trash bag as liner. Simple, inexpensive, seals up well with a screw top lid plus rubber gasket seal and impervious to weather. Easy to clean if needed, light and stores great plus has a metal handle to hang off bumper during the day for trash...

@trabs00 What did Hiatus have to say about the situation with your camper? Any updates?

G/Y Duratracs: I believe much of the reason they get a bad rap is because vehicle manufacturers use the least expensive/low load rated/cheap Duratracs. Almost like a P rated truck tire basically. They inherently do have weak sidewalls. I've seen two of them go bad this year on Colorado Bison...

I have a recent experience with Alcan and I would buy from them again, all good. I had them build some front and rear springs for my FJ60. Great service and quality. I just had them ship the springs to me, no experience with their installation or shop. I've got a handful of trips they have seen...

Been using old Cruisers for a long time now to get into the back country in comfort with reliable capability. They can squeeze through most old trails and two...

@35xj Very nice rig and setup. I picked up a '06 PW 6 spd last year in similar condition and have been slowly prepping it and using it on some trips to figure out what is needed. I've been really enjoying it so far. As I suspected - For a full size, I am finding it quite maneuverable and...

Biggest advantage of the truck camper is the ability to have a truck at anytime after dismounting the camper. A lot more versatile vs a van.

I use one of these, works good on the Scepter. Simple and effective for dispensing. https://www.igloocoolers.com/products/24009-standard-push-button-spigot-for-2-10-gallon-water-jugs-white
