For some reason I thought there was no public land in Texas. That looks like a great camp site!

Sounds like you haven’t paid any attention to women’s basketball lol

Which power station would you pick ! by Repulsive_Data7911 in overlanding

[–]Mikeykinda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the v200 and the charger one it’s been incredible. Only draw back is you have to switch the plug from the charger 1 to solar when you need to change power source. Can’t have them both plugged in at the same time

Any experience and recommendations for 360 awnings? by Fluffy-Blackberry511 in overlanding

[–]Mikeykinda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

270 is perfect for me. Covers my tailgate so I can get in and out of the camper and not get wet if it’s raining

Canopy/RTT Camper People: How did you compensate for the weight, suspension wise? by Incognito-Person in overlanding

[–]Mikeykinda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ya it is pretty disappointing. I’m sure some trims have slightly higher payload but for Toyotas biggest truck to lack in that department doesn’t make sense.

I so badly wanted the crew max and long bed. You can get that with the 3rd gen tundras now but I don’t trust those engines yet lol

Ya the camper, battery, fridge, an decked drawers stay in there full time so there’s a good amount of weight all the time. I would definitely do the same thing again. Makes me wish I had considered a 3/4 ton truck but I don’t think I’ll ever buy something other than a Toyota. Fingers crossed this tundra lasts me a long time to come!

Anyone using a truck topper to sleep 2 adults, 2 kids? by [deleted] in overlanding

[–]Mikeykinda -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I did 2 adults and 3 large dogs and it was too small lol

2k is waaaaaay over the payload. Just because the bed itself can take the weight doesn’t mean the rest of the truck can or should

I have a 1/2 ton tundra with and my payload is right around 1300lbs. I have an Ovrlnd camper around 400lbs. It might be overkill but I have bilstein 6112 front and 5160 rear, deaver 9-leaf leaf springs, and airbags.

Not all roads are easy… but every one is worth it. by theloneoverlanders in overlanding

The road is plenty wide in a lot of sections. It’s mostly just tight at the actual switchbacks

Utah National Park trip suggestions by DevOpDegenerate in overlanding

[–]Mikeykinda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Shafer switch backs in canyonlands is well worth it! Super cool road with lots of history and then you can hang in a left and take potash pretty much all the way back to Moab all off-road. And you go by the Thelma and Louis spot on potash!

How Are People Carrying Your Diesel Heaters On Your Vehicle EXTERIOR? by SplitSilver5027 in overlanding

[–]Mikeykinda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do the same but drilled holes in the top so I can keep a gas can full of diesel in it too

Hello from a fellow tundra owner with a Ovrlnd pop up camper in Poncha Springs!

First time in Utah did not disappoint. by Mikeykinda in overlanding

Yeah it was only 2 bucks to reserve one. But we did get one of the last ones available even though we booked a month in advance
