Overlanding should be a South Park skit. You can carry a pop up Coleman Tent for $30. You can get an all weather sleeping bag for about the same cost. Why people put all this shit on their vehicles is beyond me.
Interesting take. I agree to some extent, but it’s almost like saying if you have a lift and don’t actually go offroad of any sort, then it’s pointless and silly. Like your truck. It’s beautiful and the lift looks amazing, but I doubt you need that lift. It’s for looks. Just like most “over landing” guys. They leave it on for looks.
This is just staged up for planning. Going to build a mini roll cage that lives inside my second top. Going to drill through the and mount directly to the tubes. It will look like it’s mounted to the fiberglass but in reality all of the load will go down to the top mounting bolts.
Mine has bumpers and a winch and it’s primarily a daily, it’s your money do what you want! I want to do a stand alone fuel system on the 22re to modern it up a little bit.
In my defense, the nearest off road park is 250 miles away from me and Texas has no public land.
Get after it! Simplicity is the key to successful remote travel. I’m a big fan of forums, and there’s good info on these old trucks. I’m impressed on the amount of people overlanding newer vehicles with zero mechanical knowledge. I’d rather do more with less making my vehicle unique, capable and reliable. My 88 is getting a diesel swap for improved range and torque. Looking forward to your updates. 1st Gen Best Gen!
Man even a kayak on the top make the runner turn different on the road. I like taking the rear seat out and camping out of the back, and a small roof rack to free up space of gear
Whether you have a 4Runner, Gladiator, Colorado, etc—leaving over landing shit on your truck full time is the new Jeep angry eyes.

You got me there
How did you mount the tent? I didnt think the fiberglass top could handle that weight.

I’d like to know this as well. My wife wants me to get one of these on my truck but I assumed it wouldn’t work with the top.
Looks to be half on the cab. Half on the top
What do you mean? Get some rest and post some photos in the daylight.
We're not flashy with our camping trips (I refuse to say that stupid word), sleep on a cot in the back, throw a small boat on the roof. It's perfect.

How is the 1kd swap progressing?
Sheeeit, I’d go all out and clown every wrangler I saw! Old school is best school.
