    DAC Truck Tents

    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...

    Plasti-Dip interior of a canopy/shell/topper

    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...

    Awning for back of truck canopy

    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...

    Ski/Board Storage for Truck Bed

    Since last season I have changed up my trucks and now am driving a F150 with a high rise canopy. I currently don't have any roof rack, and would rather not mount one if I can get away with it. I used to carry my skis in a yakima rocket box and if I mounted that on the canopy it would be over 9...

    Winter Camping With Kids.........Planning.

    On the vain of the "how young is too young" thread and that the season is upon us, I thought I would put this question to the gang: I have a 5 year old son who loves the outdoors and is happy to play by a camp fire as long as I am willing to supervise him. That being said "We" have a beautiful...

    My wife and I have graduated off the ground to a couple of cots for car camping. The "stuff sack" bags of the used ones we picked up for a song have seen better days, so I am wondering if anyone has had any luck finding a replacements, or even better some sort of hard case for them, as I have...

    Upgrading to 04 DII should I bother???

    Just looking for some more thoughts on this as I am not sure which road to take. I currently own a 2000 DII, with 325,000km on it.

    Pelican Interior Organization

    I know that I can pick up the soft side organizers (camera organizer) or the pick and pluck foam. But I am not sure if either of those are the best solution for basic camping gear. I recently aquired a couple of Pelican 1630's for organizing the rear area of the D2. I plan on using one for a...

    Disco 2 Fog Lights

    Has anyone upgraded their factory 2003-2004 fog lights? I am just finishing up the install of my ARB bumper on my 2000 Disco 2. I got a great local deal on an ARB for a 2003-04 bumper. It has taken a little work but it is compatable with the truck. The only real issue is that the grill is...

    Sleeping Platform, not your typical one

    I am short, and I have an even shorter son. I am thinking about mounting a sleeping platform accross the back of my D2. The idea is that when we are out camping this summer that my son and dog could share the truck and my girl and I could have the tent. I am not interested in building a...

    Rear Seat Covers for a DII

    So we finally have some spring weather up here in the frozen north, and with that comes the muck and mess of the melt. I have a siberian husky who owns the back seat of my DII, and after our trip to the park today I realized it's time to invest in a seat cover. I have a "top dog" version in...

    Walking around lense.....What do you use?

    I would call myself a "Less Than Amateur, Amateur Photographer". I find that I get lucky more than plan out a good shot. I also atribute most of my "good" shots to the fact that I am capible of getting to place that most people can/wouldn't go. (Think --40 at the Artic Circle during a...
