Truck Tents for Toyota Hilux?

Monday, March 29th, 2010

I am interested in getting a Toyota Hilux in the future as I’m an outdoor photographer and the pick-up truck best suits my needs. I want to get a tent back for it (useful for photographing landscapes and animals in the rain!), but I can’t seem to find any tent backs that fit the bed of the Hilux. The only ones I can find when doing a Google search are for the Tacoma and the Tundra, and I’m wondering if one of those is actually an alternative name for the Hilux? Does anyone know about this?

Also, a lot of these Tundra and Tacoma backs seem to come from the US, and I don’t really want to be paying for all that shipping. Can anyone recommend a stockist from the UK that sells Hilux-fitting truck tents?

Thanks all.

Can I tow my Tent Camper behind a Rental moving truck?

Monday, March 22nd, 2010

I am moving from Illinois to Texas next month. I already have my pickup truck in Texas with me. I am having my wife and family driving a moving truck down here to complete the move. I have a small (1700lbs) tent camper that I was planning having them tow behind the rental truck. Is this going to be a big deal? I don’t remember if the trucks had a standard hitch setup on it or not. Thanks for your answers!
Those answers are great, but not exactly what I am looking for. I want to tow my camper without renting a tow dolly or additional trailer. I guess I am asking if they have a standard hitch on the back or what? BTW I will be using a Budget or Penske rental truck.

I’ve moved with U-Hauls a number of times, and I’ve pulled two cars, one on a trailer, the other on a car caddy. I had no problem either time.

Check the hitch on your trailer and the ball on the truck to make sure they match. If they do, you’re good to go.

Crackhead crashes a box truck through a large tent – FAIL – Security camera footage

Sunday, March 7th, 2010

Security camera footage of a crackhead ex-employee driving a box truck through a large tent. I setup this security system myself, and as you can see I have the incident from 3 different angles. The first time through, I just let you watch. Second time, I annotate some of the various objects flying around. This guy wasn’t fired over this incident, strangely. It wasn’t until a couple years later when my security system caught him stealing liquor that he was finally fired.
