so i have an 09 4 door f150, i love rock climbing, back packing, base jumping ect! i am thinking about making my truck a full out (adventure truck if you will) has anyone modded there trucks for this? or camper shells ect...??? i need some ideas

 

do it man. thats a great idea.

campershell ptm the truck
safari/roof rack
lots of lights
level kit with 33 maybe 35 inch tires
black rims
fancy brush guard
all sorts of fun adventurous stuff in the back along with some tools and a cooler

 

i like the way you think! i can see it my head ya know, mainly its building plans for the inside of the shell, for tools,gear,ect... but iv wanted to do this for a long time

by the way i like your avatar, my aunt lives in Gulf shores! i was there just a few weeks after it hit orange beach! i dont have many good feelings about BP

 

When I was a younger man... I took some tubing and welded up a tall "T" bar that slid into my bumper's ball mount. With an additional "T" about mid tail gate height for stability and support. I then ran rope from middle of my front bumper up over my cab, and tied it off to top "T." I then used a tarp to make a pup tent over the rope. I would either sleep on a cot, air mattress, or sleeping bag depending on where I was going to be at...

It was cheap and very effective... and had the feeling of being more resourceful and bare bones style of camping...

 

Check out the forum on www.expeditionportal.com. I've been lurking on there for awhile, they've got some awesome ideas/builds.

I'd like to build my truck in a similar way. Not necessarily a full on expo rig, but modded for camping/unimproved roads.

 

yea i dont either. i havent bought gas from a BP since the day it happened lol. i know it doesnt do much but its my way of sayin eff you.

 

PERFECT!!!!! iv been on there for like 3 hours lol, i just registered! thank you very much

 

All you're doing is hurting the guy who owns the station, not BP. BP is a wholesaler of gasoline meaning BP gas could very well be in the holding tanks of the station you frequent.

Still, screw BP...or Golf, whatever the heck they are.

 

its BP/Amoco however you spell it. i only use tom thumb and its Citco

i kno me by myself doesnt do much, but you should have seen all the yellow bags over thier pumps around here a month after it happened. they were talkin of switchin a lot of thier stores back to the old Amoco logos so people would start buyin gas again.

but its over and they pretty much got it under control so i dont wanna bring up this crap again. but i stil refuse to buy BP gas hahaha

 

Orange Beach and Tom Thumb FTW!! BP FTL!!!

sorry I just had to chime in
