How do you roll????

NorCal frozen lake trip! Vibe Shearwater 125

Let's see some serious jalopies - you know, rusted out floors to aid with the Flintstone braking; different color doors & hoods from the junk yard; cardboard windows; red-taped tail lights; duct tape; Bondo; primer; maybe even some custom body modification courtesy of Sawzall! 

 
just happened to read this post from early in the thread.
Here's what my little farm truck that started this thread looks like today.
Rusted floors? check. (ok now they are duralined)
bondo, primer, multiple paint jobs? check.
custom body modification courtesy of sawzall? big ole' check.
It even has a mismatched rear tire from me running over a buried forming stake and trashing one of my nice BFGs.

Hah, well you sure got a lot of years out of it!  My poor 4Runner is going in next week to see what the damage is to fix a coolent leak, and maybe do the head gasket.  Might be time for me to get something else, but after all these years, still sounds as strong as ever.

Oh man, the Jah 4runner, i remember that rig!
Hopefully the repair isn't too bad Al. Blown head gaskets can be spendy, BTDT
Why i have a soft spot for rigs that have been repaired far beyond their expected life i don't know. it's like a madness...

  You know the day Mooch took that picture at Bean, the water pump went out on my drive home!

We have retired "Clickity Clack the Adventure Truck" (got the name after one of the hubcaps developed a clicking noise).  I now have a 2020 Nissan Frontier.   We also have racks on GF's 2003 Toyota Tacoma, so the yaks can get around (GF's truck at Crater Lake NP last summer coming home from Lake Tahoe).

Old Town AutoPilot 120

Update:  My beast now has racks, for multi kayak adventures with room left for camping gear 

Maybe the yaks will give it some lift and improve the mileage? 

Got my baby on board, heading to the cove.

Bought my Dads 06' CRV when he got a new one. I was thinking about buying a beater truck to haul my yak but this came at the right price and I can store everything I need inside!

Rolling the 2006 ridgeline w/ only 67k miles

Currently …edit……. apparently “straight up” , cropped the pic so it’s right side up.

How do you Roll?  It’s not the roll that matters as much as the ability to use one these days.  With restrooms left in deplorable condition, or locked down, porta potty’s tipped over or just plain full, it’s not always easy to find relief before or after heading out on the water, on a long road trip or working in remote areas.  I don’t know about you but I find myself in these situations several times a week.
 
Out of necessity, I found a solution and this is HOW I ROLL:  I carry a 5 gallon bucket, Dunny Seat, plastic liners and a good roll or two in all my rigs.

Tips: Bring more liners than you think you’ll need, open a door on you rig and sit facing the interior of the vehicle (notice the seat will provide backside privacy), and last but not least – dispose of your waste bags as soon as you can, do not let them ferment!

I had fun writing this up hope you get a laugh out of it, but really, I have much more confidence driving 400 miles, fishing a new spot, or working in the wilderness than I did before the miniscule investment.

Roll on my friends!
 

Back when I started kayaking just a few years ago. I had the white Yakima Rocket Box my family used for trips for years and Omar's Yellow Outback.


Recently I've still got the Rocket Box, Painted it Black and got a couple of J hooks for the Set of Revo 13's.

Can you see it?  It’s in cloak mode...

Our camping/fishing trip with Subaru Outback and Hobie Oasis.
The last photo shows one with $40 of firewood from Fort Bragg Firewood (own by a fisherman).
