Nice set up.
I love the stack of boards. You could smuggle a small elephant among the stack and no one would no.
However, I think the limited head room would get a little cramped as I intend to be gone for around 6 or 7 months.
None the less, it's a great idea. I'm going to email this thread to a mate who just bought a Patrol like yours as he is planning a similar but shorter trip.
Yeah there is not a lot of headroom but its way better than it looks, as I said there is usually just the swag I had just put the other mattress in to see how it would go. Also the rolled up curtain hanging down makes it look worse, there is plenty of room to roll over etc but it would be a bit hard to get up to any shenanigans.......I would imagine.
I usually only sleep in the car for a night or two whilst on the road, If I stay anywhere for more than that I set up the Oztent that is on the LHS of the roof rack.
The Delica is set up with about 200mm more height underneath the bed and still has more headroom.
Go the troopy, but get one of these , they start at $1100 ( I think) quick to set up , lizzards cant get ya
Cassa,
What brand of tent is that? I had a look at the Oztent website but could not see that type. They were all stand-alone ones.
im on my second landcrusier my old has done 440,000 few oil leaks and rust but still running perfectly.
For me its what would you rather be in if you rolled it hit something.I would pick my crusier with its big **** off roo bar any day.Add a roll bar and its happy days
