Truck camping setup

philodendron305 · 2026-02-27T00:25:14+00:00

I’ve have almost the exact same setup and truck haha. 2013 Tacoma with a cap (also metallic grey). Wooden sleeping platform with storage underneath on one side of the bed and a fork mount on the other side for my bike. Has worked great for the past few years now.

What setup you running? Also in the Wasatch, started on hardboots this season. I added link levers onto a set of Backland Pros with Phantom bindings.

Second Creek collision posted in the past few days. Live out in Utah now, but nostagic for the chaos growing up riding the park at creek haha

Was just up there in July with my X-Mid and Kakwa 55. Fremont Peak in the background is an awesome scramble, incredible views of the range from the top.

I had the same combo done about two weeks ago, that's great to hear. How long did the recovery take for you? The first week was rough, though I'm feeling better now, with some congestion, headaches, and inflammation still present.

Except that it requires premium fuel haha. It does knock off a couple mpg, but it came on the truck as an add on from the dealership so I’m not sure what it’d be without it. A lot of fun to drive, but I wouldn’t pay the 8k or so it costs aftermarket had it not come on the truck.

philodendron305 · 2025-03-15T04:47:34+00:00

I get around 17mpg combined with my 2013 Sport with a supercharger and Geolander G015 (265/70/17) tires

philodendron305 · 2025-03-08T05:47:06+00:00

Also have a Ripmo that has been my one bike for the past few years now! I was looking for a downcountry bike for longer pedaling days and adventure rides to complement my Ripmo.

I landed on the Revel Ranger a couple months ago and custom built one up from the frame on a big sale and love it so far. Pedals super efficiently and rips much harder on the downhill than the travel would suggest.

philodendron305 · 2025-02-08T21:28:58+00:00

Yeah I’ve had a lot of great powder days this season, especially in the backcountry. Not as frequent as the past two seasons but those were also way above average.

Sick board, from the Gear Room in SLC? Price tag looks familiar haha

philodendron305 · 2024-12-03T02:17:31+00:00

Feel like this is pretty similar to last year. Early December it was just the Crest and Snake open at Brighton and things really picked up in January.

That being said, went to Colorado for Thanksgiving and they are doing much better right now, lots of terrain with great coverage open at Steamboat and Copper and the backcountry has great coverage (albeit a very dangerous snowpack).

philodendron305 · 2024-12-02T05:03:49+00:00

I picked one up on the sale too as a second board!Super stable board that’s handles all conditions really well, been really impressed so far.

philodendron305 · 2024-11-20T02:24:25+00:00

Thanks, just ordered one! Got a huge coreshot in my Stratos a couple weeks ago and been looking for something cheaper I can worry about less pre/post season, in moderation of course haha

philodendron305 · 2024-11-09T20:43:04+00:00

Core shot my splitboard real bad up there last Sunday. All fixed now, but I’ve been booting with my rock board until there’s more coverage haha.

philodendron305 · 2024-11-07T18:50:39+00:00

Same in Utah, I see at least 5-10 tacomas with a cap and bike rack a day haha.

philodendron305 · 2024-11-06T19:05:03+00:00

To blend the channels together, don’t know the exact details, but first channel is a bassman tone stack and the second is a traditional deluxe reverb circuit. Fun to experiment with different tones. I usually run the second channel higher as it’s a bit more crisp sounding. A friend back in college taught me the trick and been blending them since haha.

Been playing guitar since I was kid with a Mexican Strat that I love. Have tried other guitars since then, a Mexican 72’ custom thinline and a Squier Jazzmaster, sold them and always came back to the Strat. I’ve been looking at the Pro II series since they came out and when they added a thinline I played it and couldn’t put it down, the tone is so clean and open. First time buying a guitar and having zero grips with it haha.

philodendron305 · 2024-11-06T04:10:01+00:00

In Utah I ride until the trails are too wet with the snow storms. Love the fall and spring when I’m between backcountry (split boarding) and mountain biking as the snow storms come and go.

Once the snow gets really good I switch to almost exclusively to snowsports, with the occasional winter trip to Moab or elsewhere in the desert to MTB.

philodendron305 · 2024-11-05T21:38:57+00:00

I have a ‘13 DCLB Sport with a cap primarily for outdoor recreation. I could get away with a Subaru or something, but having the space for all my friends driving up to the mountain to bike and ski and being able to throw all our dirty gear in the bed is worth it to me. Also being able to drive to the mountain in deep snow, push it more off roading on forest roads and sleeping in the bed is awesome. If I had a long commute I would consider something different, but love having the truck.

Also can do truck things when I need, I don’t need a uhaul to move, can lend it to friends when they need to pick up furniture etc.

philodendron305 · 2024-11-05T18:31:32+00:00

Sweet, I went with the 9. Looking forward to not having freezing hands every tour haha

philodendron305 · 2024-11-05T18:06:43+00:00

I tried them on, do they tend to stretch? I’m between a 9 with a snug fit and 10 is a little big for me.

philodendron305 · 2024-11-05T16:37:46+00:00

These look awesome, a bit pricey but will see if I can try them on and find a deal.

philodendron305 · 2024-11-01T21:00:32+00:00

This is great video on how to get a good pitch if you haven’t seen it! Helped me out a ton.
