Default desert camping and offroading. Tons on pictures!

Went on a camping tirp with my friend courtney out in the desert. Did some offroading and took some pictures, because, as ranger_edge pointed out, I havent taken and new pictures in over a year. So here you go. Enjoy and comment. I would love some imput.






I totally fucked up on this part and kind of got a little stuck. Mad flex though. End up popping off the rear drivers side flare, popped right back in though, sorry I forgot to get a picture of that. Got pulled out by some nice guy in his atv.











Sleeping situation. First time sleeping back there and it was great because it 40* at night. fit two 6ft people pretty good.

Thanks everyone. I really wanna lift my truck, I had some close call with clearance. I rubbed pretty bad a few times when flexed out pretty hard. Also, all these pictures were taken with my phone, which personally I find to be amazing considering.

I layed down some cardboard and put a blanket on top. Worked out pretty well if you ask me. I was pretty comfortable. The lady said her hip was a little soar when she woke up, but not that bad.

Dudem truck camping rules. No tent hassle or of that. Dont get me wrong, I love tents and all that, but when its 40* and the groypund is nothing but rocks, ill take my truck anyday. I was super stoked because it was my first time truck camping in my truck, I havent done it since I was a little kid with my dad.
