Perfect Truck Roadtrip

Planning the Perfect Truck Roadtrip

Wouldn’t it be great to clock out on Friday, jump in your truck, and just hit the road? Whether you prefer a spur of the moment adventure, or the anticipation of planning a getaway, there’s a lot to keep in mind. If you keep the essentials packed in your truck (link to previous blog of what to keep in your truck), you’ll be a step ahead. But if you heart is set on the perfect truck roadtrip, consider the following.

Packing the Roadtrip Basics

It may seem obvious to mention packing a credit card, driver’s license, registration, insurance, and park pass, but let this be your reminder to make sure they’re up to date. Can’t hurt to double check that your phone cord is still there (and working) too.

Plus, anytime you leave home, it’s a pretty good idea to bring the 10 Essentials. But with those basics accounted for, you’ll need to decide what type of truck roadtrip makes you salivate.

Do you want to bring a set of kayaks and relax on the lake or check out a remote mountain bike trail? Maybe you can sneak in a first ascent, or find a hike so remote your email inbox will never find you.

The Perfect Truck Prepared for Anything

The more adventurous you are, the more you’ll need to prepare. With a Renegade Cover, you’re off to a strong start. This will allow you to secure anything you want under the cover, as well as on top of it. But have you considered overlanding with the help of Renegade Racks? It might just change your life.

Whether you’re the type to snag a a free campsite or prefer the luxury of a hotel, it may be wise to bring your camping gear. Reservations get lost and places get overbooked. But with a Renegade Cover, you have plenty of room to bring anything and everything you might need.

So throw in your clothes, toiletries, and favorite pillow. Pack toilet paper and a trowel. Bring your favorite foods in your new Costco cooler. It will all be safe under your Renegade Cover, whether the threat is man, animal, or nature.

Renegade to the Roadtrip Rescue

If you really want to be prepared, it may be time to add a Riptide pressurized water system to your setup. After all, having water around is never a bad idea; it’s the first step to a solar-powered shower, spraying off muddy boots, and cooking ramen noodles.

With the strongest and most versatile truck bed cover on the market, your roadtrip is going to be history in the making. So download some good music and podcasts, throw in a deck of cards, and hit the road.

Overlanding in Moab

Heading to the Promised Land

As it warms up, it’s time for cool nights overlanding in rural Utah. If you’re wondering where to start, you can’t go wrong overloading in Moab.

Overlanding in Moab

Moab’s red walls and desert landscape are sure to mimic your wildest dreams. Whether you’re most excited to check out Arches National Park or Canyonlands National Park, don’t forget about the options off the beaten path.

Let’s be honest, Utah’s state parks are more magnificent than some other states’ national parks. If you’re interested in hiking, mountain biking, or rock climbing, Moab is the perfect starting point for your adventure.

Southern Utah Overlanding

Get your truck ready for the overloading adventure of a lifetime. By starting with a low-profile tonneau cover, and adding racks, your shelter will be up in no time. This leaves your truck bed for everything else you’ll need — water, food, gear, emergency supplies, and camp equipment.

The best overloading setup is going to be the one ready to take on the desert’s unpredictable weather. At the most fundamental level, your tonneau cover needs to be strong — not just in terms of security, though that’s important too. Your expensive gear needs to be safe if you head out for the day. But your truck bed cover also needs to be extremely capable. How much weight can it bear? Is it built to last?

Rooftop Tent on Truck Bed

Overlanding is an Undertaking

Whether you’ve got a hardshell rooftop tent like the Roofnest Condor XL, or are starting out with the Smittybilt Overlander, your truck bed set up is the first step to a good night’s rest.

IOverlander and Your Rooftop Tent Too

If you have a rooftop tent, you get to avoid the rigamarole of staking out and assembling your tent once you arrive. Just pop up or fold out your off-road truck tent and get those Z’s.

These designs range from affordable softshells to top-of-the-line hardshell and overlanding models. But the basis is, of course, your truck. The top of the bed is the perfect base to build a rig! But there are two key accessories you’ll need: a tonneau cover and racks.

Your Mt. Hood by Cascadia Vehicle Tents, iKamper Skycap 3.0, or 23ZERO Walkabout 56 is sure to be content on top of a Renegade Cover and Renegade Racks.

Or maybe you have your sights set on a AutoHome Maggiolina AirLand Plus. Whatever set-up is right for you, we have the right base.

Rooftop Tent on Truck Bed

A new or seasoned overlander knows the most important truck accessory is the base for your shelter: a durable, low-profile tonneau cover. Not just any truck bed cover will do, if for no other reason than that most don’t have a very high weight-bearing capacity. But with a Renegade Cover, which can hold up to 2,000lbs, you can sleep securely.

Plus, it’s important to make sure your belongings are safe underneath the cover. After all, with your roof-top tent in place, your truck bed is freed up for other necessities: water, food, equipment, and other essential gear.

Jeep Gladiator with Racks

You bit the bullet and bought a Jeep Gladiator because you want more from life than the daily commute. But your setup isn’t complete without the right tonneau cover and racks. A Jeep Gladiator with racks can be the perfect overlanding setup.

Why Choose Jeep?

Not only is the Jeep Gladiator the only American pickup truck available with a manual transmission, it has excellent traction and suspension. Boasting over 11 inches of ground clearance, you can trek over rocks, through sand, and even ford water.

Even though this is the first truck Jeep has offered since the early 90’s, the company has been busy developing highly capable vehicles for off-roading. But as a truck, you also get great cargo space and a powerful diesel engine.

Another perk to owning a Jeep is modifying it to fit your lifestyle. The Jeep Gladiator is the only convertible truck on the market, with a removable roof and doors to completely customize your experience. Unless you prefer a stock Jeep, you’ll also have fun with aftermarket accessories and parts.

Pairing your Jeep Gladiator with Renegade’s Tonneau Cover is a no-brainer. With the ability to haul a payload of up to 1,700 in its truck bed, you really can’t afford a less capable truck bed cover. After all, all Renegade truck bed covers boast a weight-bearing capacity of up to 2,000 pounds. Plus, when it comes to your everyday routine, a Renegade Cover allows you to transport tools, gear, or groceries from Costco underneath the truck bed cover.

When you add racks to your Jeep set-up, you are just one step away to adventure. Throw on whatever accessory you need to transport your skis, kayak, or bike, and you’ll be on the road in no time.

With Renegade, the “Jeep wave” will turn into a double-take, as fellow Jeep owners will want what you’ve got. After all, you’ve got the right truck bed cover – you know, the one with maximum security and function. It not only coordinates with racks, it’s somehow both heavy-duty and low profile.

Your armored Jeep Gladiator can take a beating, but it needs help protecting your cargo. What’s the point of getting to extreme locations if your gear or supplies is ruined while you’re bogging? You won’t regret adding a Renegade Cover and Renegade Racks to your Jeep Gladiator.

Low Profile Truck Bed Rack with Tonneau Cover

Whatever adventure you’re gearing up for, a truck bed rack with tonneau cover is likely to make it more convenient. But figuring out the right accessories for your truck can be a bear.

Selecting the Right Rack for You

Your truck bed rack shouldn’t just be low profile, but sleek. If the look you love is going to last, it also has to be made with high quality materials and have a protective finish. Choosing a truck bed rack doesn’t just come down to aesthetics though, you want a truck bed rack that serves you well functionally.

The rubber hits the road, though, when it comes to how it handles your cargo. When you have your 4-wheeler loaded up, you don’t want to feel anything less than confident. But finding a low profile truck bed rack that is also durable is no easy feat.
