I would love to have an Iron Pig (FJ55) today, except for the gas guzzling.

Unfortunately, they were the most rust prone Toyota vehicle during the era that all Toyota vehicles were rust prone. My brother called it my Fred Flintstone truck because the driver side floorboards were rusted out, so I could look down and see the road. So getting from running to travel-capable was beyond my skill and funding.
If I had the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$, a Honda Ridgeline would be tempting.
My old mint green USFS Chevy 4x4 short bed was a good one as well
I miss it(but not the mileage!)

I've never carried a LF camera on a bike, but I have loaded my ETRSi many times. I'm an adventure bike person, so I always have some sort of case on the bike. My favorites are KTMs, but right now my main bike is an early 2000's Triumph Tiger. Guzzi's are pretty bikes though--we have a local group that are hardcore Guzzi guys. I've always wanted a Griso, but could never justify one.
I just finished a week long with my 4Runner on 3" lift and 33"s. I had my Gorilla gardan wagon with me. 4 knobby sized inflatable tires. Tripod is too long for it so it gets tied in. I've seen photos here someone had a metal sided garden type wagon and the tripod was able to be strapped on the sides. Pretty nice.

For most of us, 33's are records
I have the same trailer
Tin Can
a series of VW Camper Vans, then a Ram Charger, then a Toyota Tacoma 4x4, then a Toyota Highlander to currently Jan Pietrzak's GMC Yukon which he gave me as he was dying. The Yukon is my sentimental favourite by far. The Tacoma is the best vehicle I ever owned.
