Here's some Roof Top Tent, LED lights, and the cooler











What do you guys think?

Looking for Ram Mounts for the computer and a new AC inverter

Other than that all I need is to finish the wrap, awning, OME springs, and a water tank. Looking forward to my first camping trip/hike this spring!

What is that rtt going to do to your highway gas mileage?

[Ala5ka]

something close to 17-20, didn't change much. I drove 250 some odd miles through Alaskan bush on three quarters of a tank.

[don moore]

it get terible millage if you leave it open.. kinda pisses of the other people drive next to you.

Look pretty sweet! If you got rid of all the rear plastic, you could have used sheet metal to make some nice shelving or cabinetry, solving your oil storage problem

As far as MPG, folks, don't forget, they have real gas in Alaska, not this crappy blended stuff. My Expedition went from 10ish mpg to 12ish mpg when I hit (Wyoming I think) on my way to Moab. That ethanol garbage gets horrible mpg.

I was thinking of taking the rear plastic out but it kind of scares me to remove so much. I already cut the cladding every were, so it shouldn't be too hard I guess.
All I need is some more camping gear and some OME springs and I will be good to go!

Don Moore I snorted out loud thinking of the tent up cruising down the highway

[Ala5ka]

I also need more PCV's losing one every 400 miles or so especially after a long haul. Why does that happen?

[Marlin]

I may have to look into that, haven't changed mine in 3 or 4 yrs
As for the plastic,its amazing how much wasted space there is. Only downfall, more road noise, I am filling the hollow panels with that expanding foam from the hardware store. Should work like a champ.

[Marlin]

Checked my PCV valve today, still rattles. Wonder why some go bad quickly while others do not? It is just the cheap autozone model in mine.

[samneil2000]

full of oil?

[Ala5ka]

Yes mine gets full of oil then a high idle starts after a long drive like 400 in a day
