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.

RipTide

The RipTide is the best pressurized water spray system. Imagine you will never have dirty hands or feet while in the elements. The RipTide has many uses including roadside shower, hand washing station, pet washing, wash sandy feet, or muddy boots. It’s made in the USA and is made to last. The RipTide can be mounted to a truck, car, side by side, or kept portable. To operate simply fill the tank with water and pressurize up to 120 psi and the RipTide is ready to use. Adjustable pressure makes it safe for cleaning kids or pets. Featuring a simple design, the RipTide is solar heated. RipTide is offered in 3 sizes. S1 Mobile (1.4 gallons) S2 (1.6 gallons) and the RipTide S3(2.2 gallons) Because of the high pressurize capacity it requires less water to be more effective than more other roadside showers. This creates a long spraying unit that requires lighter water weight. The RipTide is backed by a limited one year warranty.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Souped-Up Jeep Gladiator with Racks

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.

The Jeep Wave

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.
