One of the reasons why Im done tent camping. And Im done trying to set up a tent in the dark, or with a bunch of drunken fools.

But drunken shenanigans always make the trip funner haha, but seriously I'd consider the expedition. And since you need to haul stuff you could always just pull the carpet out the rear area and line it so its easy to clean out.

Shenanigans are fun but arguing with a drunken fool on how to set up a tent gets old fast. I like the idea of removing the carpet in the cargo area. Then use some astro turf when camping.

I was just checking, if I ever slept in my truck, I just slept in my cab when I had my 40/60.

I'm 6'3, it sucks. But as for setting a tent up at night while drunk, why not set it up first?

I've done it a few times with the topper on my 4x4. Works good for me as im short enough to fit in with everything all closed up. Easier then jackin around with a tent thats for sure

i go camping/ motorcross in my rig all the time. 99 ext cab 2wd with 35 AT and 2.5 in front end lift. i love it . have the full mattress with wheelweels cut out and me and my gf sleep comfertably. all gear in back seat and take a pup tent just to keep food and gear in so animals dont get it. plus stinky MX gear..

its a good setup to just get in and go and stop whereever the time lets me
