SUVs and trucks I can sleep in

Rupert · August 22, 2009, 02:10:28 PM

Exactly. I need cheap and reliable, not cheap, then expensive, and always needing something. I already have one of those...

I just cleaned out the Rodeo and tried out the back. I can fit diagonally with a few inches to spare. I'm 68.5 inches. I'd sleep back there as long as I had a pad.

Rupert · August 23, 2009, 01:48:09 PM

Cool. I'm 74 inches, so I won't fit in one...

Not unless you bend you knees, or stick you feet out ghe back window

Nuts to that!

Pitch a tent on the roof rack.

... Or I could just pitch a tent on the ground.

But that's what I want to be able to not do, so...

Head at tailgate, and feets through the space between the front seats.

But it's blocked by the rear seat cushions being flipped up.

Well, if you're going to create problems, then I can't help you.

Oh, and might be buying this soon. http://albany.craigslist.org/cto/1319290777.html

Psiolos, the Explorer ain't so bad. I had a 1992 and there was plenty of room to sleep and have sex. Lay those seats down and magic happens.

Minus the paint job I would totally hit that, especially since this guy already refurbished all the coolant-related issues apparently.

Yeah, totally. A Westy is best(y), but that looks like a pretty nice van. Just a touch out of range...

Leaving to buy the Explorer in 30 min!

Ha, I was half contemplating putting the four cylinder from the Ranger in the Exploder, but then it would be reeeaaally slow.

Rupert · August 24, 2009, 09:13:24 PM

Pics happen tomorrow, when it's light again.

I dunno about that. I've seen the back of a lot of SUVs, and most ain't more than about 6' when the seats are folded flat. The earlier Explorers weren't too big, though, and they were Ranger-based (right?), so they should do pretty good off road. On the list.

told ya so
