very nice little tents can you access the sleeping bed from the truck bed or do you have to go in and out the side or the back?

Finally finished my bed storage system! Simple mounting rails mounted to the bed with rivnuts. Part of the delay was breaking my cheapo rivnut tool last weekend - the $75 tool works MUCH better than the $20 tool. :D

It snowed again earlier this week, but GFC install will happen soon.

Next I need to secure the fridge aux battery.

Then it is pretty much ready for Canyonlands!

Replaced mounting straps with these cool mini ratchet straps - much more secure. Reorganized the bed a bit to have a secure spot for the kermit chairs. Next steps are dust sealing and still need to mount the auxillary battery.

Thanks. I wanted something light and easily removable. It is just akro mills bins plus s-tracks and mini ratchet straps. Just FYI, bin prices fluctuate a lot. S-tracks are mounted with rivnuts. Avoid the $20 rivnut tools - I snapped one after mounting only 8 nuts.
