Can't believe I am the first to mention Pelican. Their lights are as good as their cases in my option. Not sure if you can get them for $25 thou?

GeoRoss took the words right out of my mouth. I was an backpacker before my wife and kids came along, and having that experience made all the difference. Check out some of the ultra-light backpacking forums for ideas packing light and small.

More of a public service announcement, but wanted to make sure people don't have the same experience I did. Long story short, I have being looking at the DAC truck tents for a few years. Thinking they would be a great way to extend the room in my canopy set up, and hopefully give a bit more...

I was thinking about just paint, but with the roughness of the surface I was worried about how it would cover. I am having the same thought about a roll on product. It would be hard to get in some of the cracks and corners for a clean look. I am re thinking the headliner and going to check...

Not a bad idea. Although I would like to keep it white if possible to maintain as much light as possible. I am going to have to go price out some white liner and see what i can find.

I have a Leer 122 canopy without the carpet option, so just has the rough fiberglass on the inside. I would like to do something to make the interior a little nicer for camping and also help stop the small bits of fiberglass coming off our cloths or other cloth items when they are pushed up...

Hi All, Looking for pictures and suggestions for a awning for off the tail end of a pick up with canopy. Looking to extend our "living space" in less than great weather. Thinking about maybe adding a wall kit to improve privacy when camping in public campgrounds as well. What is everyone's...

This is what I came up with. Going to be building version 2 very soon. http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/117337-Ski-Board-Storage-for-Truck-Bed

I agree, I often find my best ideas come together when I am under a tight timeline to just get out and enjoy the world. Here is a shot of the platform from a summer trip to the West Coast of BC. The part by the tailgate is removable for the ski rack.

I ended up using that rack I built for the whole season. It worked awesome!!! When I got started on my platform I decided to scrap the ski storage on the side as it would take too much room, as well as block the windows, and in turn the airflow. My plan was to continue to use the rack I had...

Thanks for the pictures. It looks great!!!!! Especially that shot from the inside. That cabinetry is amazing, looks sort of like a sailboat. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Thats a good idea using an old tent. I must have one around here somewhere.

TrvlnWest do you have some more shots of that screen door? Is it custom? How does it attach? I really like the idea of having a door like that but leaving the tailgate area free for boots etc.

Quasimoto, Where did you get that rear "tent"? I am looking for something similar for my set up?

On my old Sonoma with a third door I used a Thule system. Which made it possible to mount up regular bars. http://www.thule.com/en-us/ca/products/carriers-and-racks/roof-racks/feet/thule-short-roof-adaptor-477-_-1024

given the fact that the white stuff has come early this year, I've had to compromise on my design, for now. I am head out to Banff this weekend for 4 days on the mountain and really wanted to have some better organization for the ski's in the bed. This is what I banged together last night. It...

After playing around alittle more in sketchup, and reading a bunch of platform threads I think I have my design down. At least enough so that I can think about materials. I am leaning towards 3/4 in plywood. I will be using dado joints for the shelves and I am worried that 1/2 or 3/8 would be...

I thought a bit about over head and dismissed it as I don't really want snow dripping on me or my bedding if I decide to sleep in the back. yep it will go up to about the bed rail. I like Sketchup. it's a neat program. I have always had been big on drawing out my ideas and designs in a note...

Here is the first drawing. It's my first time using sketchup, but I am learning fast and it is an amazing program to work through things like this. I originally was working through having them under a sleeping platform, which might still be the way I go, but I really like ability to have the...

Thanks Guys, I am working through a couple of ideas on paper and hopefully have some drawings or even some pictures shortly.
