The Idea behind this truck was to be my ultimate outdoor activity support vehicle. It doesn't need to be flashy, lifted, or have a nice stereo, it does however need to be functional in every aspect. I need to be able to move 6 kayaks at the same time, plus all the gear required for an expedition, also have the ability to sleep in the back at rest areas and whatnot. You will find alot of the modifications to this truck are based around exactly that.

Again, the idea here was about functionality. I didnt do much to the interior. I think the only thing i did was add a thermometer and weather station and some deep lugged floor mats.

Bed: This is where most of the modifications are. I have an ARE topper with 54" yakima tracks and 78" crossbars with pads and a Bigstack kayak stacker. I also have a rocket box 11 that mounts on the bars so i can carry even MORE gear, however that limits my kayak carrying capacity to only 4. I Installed cross braces and waterproof plywood sub-floor in bed so I can sleep in the back and still store paddle gear. Inverter in the rear for charging phones and computers and whatnot. Also installed full lights in the topper for habitability purposes.

Cab: Rack number two, Yakima q towers, with q14 clips and 58" bars. On this rack I have a Yakima Megawarrior basket. (Currently on order, Pic is a mockup) this is for moving wet swanky gear, firewood, duffels, whathaveyou. Up front I installed a brushguard, not for functionality (im not ramming trees), but because it was the only option that would be capable of carrying my 6 3/4" PIAA 80 PRO XT headlights. Why buy 2-3 pairs of lights when one pair of these is brighter anyway??

My last car i spent thousands on ps2, tvs and all that stuff... Ive outgrown all that stuff... radio is stock
