'89 R3500 Crew Cab 2wd to 4wd conversion & beyond

I needed a better way to haul the tent cots rather than just stuffing them behind the front seats. I put together this rack with a HF rack I bought on sale and some 1" aluminum tube.



It's nearly exact size for the tent cots. I'll lay them in the rack and then strap the entire thing down to the bed. That way I can pull it out for the trail when not in use.

I really like that box and everything you’ve done in the last year. Very cool rig!

Thanks! It's still evolving and I have more plans.

Getting closer to being an overlanding rig.

@doubletrouble is going to tell me to put a roof top tent on the bed.

To be honest, I'm not a huge camping fan. It's fun to do once or twice a year for one or two nights, but that's about all I need to do. I'm more of a hotel man.

I agree completely. About not camping.

It all starts with sand tracks, then a rooftop tent, fuel jugs, light bars and so on!!!

I have a snorkel with your name on it.....

 

[ktmoutfront]

Now I am sorry I mentioned it.

 

[doubletrouble]

I can’t believe I forgot the snorkel. I’m gonna have to head to the mall and make sure I haven’t forgotten anything else.

 

[83ChevyK5Blazer]

Hmm need to add the grille dust lights, I also liked the precisely stacked 5 min worth of fire wood.

I have driven through more standing water without a snorkel than most people have that do have a snorkel.

Overlanders are a special breed, that's for sure

 

[obijuank5]

Don't forget the brush wires from the hood to the roof rack.

 

[ktmoutfront]

I am so sorry Scott.
