Looking for some inspiration to build out my interior for long term/ long distance travel. My current thinking has a chest of drawers like thing on the passenger side, and a flat sleeping/storage spot on the drivers side somewhat similar to a troopie style cruiser build. Lets see what everyone...

Pictures make this thread. Apparently I have an affinity for getting stuck in water. No cell service, 32 degrees and raining, late for work. The vehicle idled in the water for 4 hours while I went to get help, a lot of fluids and bearings needed service after, but the truck drove itself out...

i've seen this in person, good van with a useful layout.

Anyone selling?

Anyone using one? Especially interested if it's one of the cheap Chinese ones. Considering one for a build I'm doing on a gasoline vehicle, would need to work at high altitude, and draw from the vehicle tank. Kind of a neat idea type thing, not a necessity, hence the desire for a low cost option.

I just googled your tent, you have a totally different set up than me. I would ask the manufacture what their minimum recommended bar spread is. That is a long tent. But I wouldn't imagine you'd need an extra cross bar.

Mine is mounted to two Yakima bars. It works, doesn't seem like it will come off, and there is no roof flex. CoG is raised, but the Yakima Load Warriors feature a quick release option so I can remove the bar with the tent attached. With two people I can go from tented to tentless in less than 2...

I did do that, no change.

Drove into some water, doesn't seem to have spark. The ECM fuse blew, but was replaced. The car started the morning after and ran well for about 15 seconds at which point it died again and would only sputter and backfire. Now it won't even sputter or backfire at all. There is not water in the...

I think it took me about 14 days total. That includes a night in Denver, Chicago, Vail and the drive time. I like shiny expedition trucks as much as the next guy, but I also like to challenge myself as a driver, and see new things. If the 4runner had broken while I was out there, it would have...

And can't seem to find them anywhere. Anyone know where I might find some in the states? For an ARB Tacoma bar, I have a part number I'd just have to look it up

They are all in the same area of the state, I did surprisingly little road driving to connect them all, and what relatively little I did was a welcome respite. The book I recommended has a fantastic map to help piece together a route. Id say more stupid than brave, I was figuring "how bad...

After that it was on to Utah! This pretty much described all the driving I did on the trip We rolled in late, and found my friend who worked at Arches park, we stayed the night with her, and had a good time. The next day we went out to do some wheeling. You know how everyone says Moab...

One of the first grey days of the trip. No rain though! This despite all apperances is NOT an outhouse, no matter how bad you have to poop, and how fast you run in loafers up the hill Imogene! Ruins towards the bottom of Imogene Black Bear as seen from Imogene Once in Telluride...
