We visited the Steens last summer as well, truly a spectacular place, very few people in July. Next time try some of the primitive campsites like Jackman Park. I didn't notice any mosquitos when we made a quick bathroom break there. Be sure to also check out the Alvord desert for some...

I really enjoy reading through your detailed modifications, thanks for sharing all of these! For some reason your Amazon links directs me to supperoffers.com and not Amazon?

This is an awesome build, amazing attention to detail. I just read through your whole thread today. Where did you source those 90 Deg Powerlet Connectors?

Actually I meant the sleeping bed. I have been watching this manufacturer for some time now, they put out really nice rigs.

That is a nice looking rig. What are the dimensions of the bed, it might be the pic, but it looks a little small. Keep us posted as to how it all works out.

As others have said both are capable, it comes down to how much gear are you going to carry? The Tundra is a lot bigger, but only has about a hundred more pounds of carrying capacity depending upon trim level, and is worse on gas mileage. Tacoma will be more limber on tighter trails for sure...

Replies so far have brought up a lot of great points. The Tundra TRD Pro, usually has a lower carrying capacity than say the Offroad version, which is important if you put a camper on the back. Domestic 1/2 ton (properly setup) and 3/4 ton will let you carry a whole lot more camper. And yes...

I just grab my fiberglass handle round point shovel from my shed, which I believe is 12 gauge metal, round point (probably $35 from Lowes or Home Depot), and strap in down in the bed of my truck. I also carry Max Trax boards. This combination has helped me out of a jam more than once. I...

I am not sure about the Tundra bed holding up, my Tundra seemed to have pretty sturdy walls before I sold it? Definitely upgrade from the C clamps and buy some clamps specific for that application - something like - https://www.amazon.com/truck-topper-clamps/s?k=truck+topper+clamps

I saw an Earthroamer being hauled on a flatbed tractor trailer, Westbound on Interstate 70, just East of Frederick, MD. Don't see many of these in the East! I only got a quick glimpse, it was dark grey or dark brown, orange MaxTraxx on the back. Belong to anyone on here?

Gotta love those old Toyota trucks.

SP crater looks like a cool place. You can easily see the lava flows from some of your pics and definitely from Google. Summit looks like 7021' from https://mapper.acme.com/
