VooDoo Bed Rack - currently mounted to a Silverado Trail Boss Short Bed. As noted in the photo it is 58 inches long and reaches 24 inches above the top of the bed. The top of the rack is essentially even with the top of the cab. It is in great condition, I don’t think there is a scratch anywhere...

I have a Cascadia (CVT) awning and bought the awning walls with it. The "walls" are heavy and cumbersome. I was hoping to replace the set up with something made from traditional tent fabric that's so much lighter. When I go to search around it seems like every manufacturer calls it something...

Well I finally joined the Jeep club. Now that I own one I can't believe it took me so long. I knew I'd like it but I didn't guess I'd love it this much. I didn't guess my wife and kids would love it so much. It's kind of surprised all of us. My plan with this thread is to chronicle some mild...

I'd love an Aluminess but it's been tough to pull the trigger with that price tag. I'm looking for any other suggestions others have had a good experience with. In addition to carrying items up on the rack I plan to attach an awning I already own that has an add-a-room. And, my son and I would...

I've been slowly considering different 4x4s for a long time. Right now I get my adventuring done in a Chevy Express 2500 with a locking diff since I tow some things and I have a nearly tall as me teenage son. We both sleep in it. The Express, while a passenger van, is basically commercial...

I have a 2015 Chevy Express 2500 passenger van. I didn't realize that Sportsmobile would not convert a passenger van due to the airbags and air conditioning vents along the ceiling. I'm now trying to make the best of the situation. I found this used with only 2k miles on it. I tow stuff with a...

Is it possible to remove the rear head curtain airbags in a 2015 Chevy Express? I bought one to tow a camper with thinking I could do a Sportsmobile conversion later. When I called SMB they said they won't touch them. (I had not seen that warning on their site, and still haven't found it.) In...

For US domestic pick up trucks you can get a contractor rack that extends from the roof line to over the hood and attaches around the front bumper. (Or maybe it just extends over the hood, but it seems like I've seen both) Does such a thing exist for Wranglers?

So y'all have probably seen the Westfalia top on the Burb on this thread, which was an awesome build. And you've probably seen this rig at some point as well: http://gentlemansgarage.com/land-rover-defender-icarus-by-alu-cab/ Did you see that Alu-Cab is now in the US via OK4WD in New Jersey...

Several months ago I posted on this forum and got great advice, again it is much appreciated: http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/138165-Is-it-really-that-bad About that time I put my Sportsmobile up for sale. I knew it would be a long process and I can be a patient person when it...

Has anyone removed their early 2000's Silverado/Suburban/Sierra/Yukon windshield cowl lately? Do you remember what it looked like under there? I had found a YouTube of a guy with an 05 GMC Sierra that had a leak on the passenger side floor board. http://youtu.be/Jmd2ellmzLc I've had a...

It seems the full roof racks I see on Suburbans here are homemade, custom. Very nice but is there anyone selling one that my search skills are not revealing? I've got a 2001 with factory rails but I'd like to try a full length rack for various applications and adventures.

I'm drawn to Land Rovers, vintage to new ones. There are a couple of different versions I'd like to own. But whenever I read up or mention it to car buddies who've owned one, it seems people try to warn you off. The reason I ask the question is because I see similar advice in the VW world. I've...

I'm a long term planner and like to review lessons learned. I'm planning my next purchase but still relatively new to backcountry exploration. Here's the background: I have a '69 VW Westy that I have taken off-road through door deep mud. Awesome time but it's not the right tool for the job...
