Really easy to set up & take down (under 5 minutes), very comfortable as most have quite a nice mattress, great views (last week watched 4 deer pass through our site up in the Chilcotins), creates more room on the inside for traveling - probably digging for excuses, but in the end I enjoy it and the convenience associated. I've spent alot of nights in tents over the years and much prefer this experience.

That's an awesome rig. His wife has a JK (her second, now a '12), which is actually how I met him. Saw her previous '08 JK parked at his business next door to my church one day when I was cutting the grass there. Back then JKs were still pretty uncommon, so went over and introduced myself. We've become frequent travelers on trips together since. Here's another picture of his Defender taken earlier this year on the Clayton Trail (on way to K-Trail) ...

Sorry, this is a little off topic...but I thought it made a great picture. This expedition rig makes my 'expedition' rig look a little diminutive! The owners of this Man have literally driven around the world when I saw them yesterday just west of Revelstoke. North America is the only continent they haven't conquered...as of yet.

I had a very good buying experience with Sierra 4x4. Chris was great to work with. The trailer was completed on time, and it turned out even better than I expected. I had considered Adventure Trailers, but Sierra 4x4 was a more convenient pickup point for me, and their price was much better, so I didn't have to think on it too long.

Just returned from Big Bend National Park where we spent four days and three nights on Old Ore Road, River Road, and Black Gap Road. Other than Black Gap Road, which has some pretty hairy stuff in a few places, it was mostly very rough and occasionally washed-out dirt roads (they had five inches of rain last month). Here are a few teaser pic's. The rest are on my personal FB page ... facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.4047334662659.2151813.1260697505&type=1&l=5 6223e53c0
No, this isn't me. LOL.
Santa Elena Canyon. Mexico on the left; U.S. on the right.
To say we had incredible skies for photography would be a huge understatement. In fact, I'd call this particular day the best I've ever had in nearly a half century of capturing images. That evening while sitting around I'd tell my companions that it reminded me of once in my younger days driving down California Highway 1 through Newport Beach. There were bikini-clad California beauties everywhere you looked. But, soon it became way too much of a good thing--sensory overdose, as it were. I overdosed this day on photographic possibilities. Pure joy for me.
Go see the larger version of this on my FB page. Even it doesn't do it justice--there are stars filling that sky above the clouds and that lightning bolt on the left is probably about a dozen or more strikes.
Black Gap Road. No stills of the most difficult obstacles (I let someone else drive my Jeep most of the time, but not here--saved that fun for myself--so too busy keeping my sheetmetal away from rocks and the Jeep from rolling over on severe off-camber situations). But, had a GoPro running the entire time. Will get the video up soon.
Rio Grande River behind us. Mexico on the left; U.S. on the right. Chisos Mountains in the background. I'm the old guy on the left. :-)
