Exactly. Another good thing is that lead time is a few days instead of 6 months everywhere else.

No it doesn’t but I don’t think it’s necessary for such a small change of the angle.

Just a short picture of how the bed looks like. This is after I bolted everything down in preparation for the Death Valley trip next week. The spare tire is sitting behind the fridge slide, I have squeezed a 5lbs propane tank in the corner next to it. I bolted down the air compressor in the...

I installed a Dodge Offroad steering brace today. The idea was to prolong the life of my steering box and tighten up the steering a little. The whole endeavor started with a trip to Home Depot because all my wrenches were too small for the 46mm pitman arm nut. Shaft extension replaces the...

The 12V build is almost finished. We went to Sequoia National Park over Labor Day weekend and tested out the fridge and it worked great. After 3 days, the battery was still at 75%. The circuit board. These big connectors are - starter battery (red), aux battery (gray), air compressor (yellow)...

The 12V build is coming together nicely. Unfortunately I’m still missing parts so I won’t be able to wrap the build up this weekend. This is the circuit panel right now. I glued some carpet on both sides to make it blend in with the liner in the SnugTop. Red connector goes to the starter...

Reviving this thread. In case anybody wants to install their slide, I found this blog post from Decked about installing van shelves helpful: https://blog.decked.com/how-to-install-van-shelving-with-the-decked-system/ They basically recommend drilling into the lateral steel tubes (red) but not...

Ok here are my thoughts. Keep in mind that I haven’t done a lot of research on Gladiators so take this with a grain of salt. The interior is much smaller. Rear facing child seats might be a problem. Bed space is more limited. Payload is actually pretty much the same on paper. The Gladiator has...

Hey, I'm currently doing a 12V build in my truck and I went with the RedArc BCDC1250. I wanted one controller for solar and alternator charging that can prefer solar to reduce load on the alternator. See the build here...

One thing that was quite annoying on the Colorado trip was dealing with the cooler. We bought a good roto molded cooler which worked great in the sense that it kept ice for a surprisingly long time (I think some ice at the bottom lasted for 10 days, although we did put more fresh ice on top...

You might have noticed that I’m normally not the person for interior mods, however I was annoyed enough wedging the phone between two cupholders on the last trip that I decided to buy a bulletpoint phone holder. Looks great installed!

What worked well 1. The truck generally performed great for the trails we did with some caveats mentioned below. Also highway ride was great even fully loaded. The sway problems we had before were almost gone. Thuren upgrades really helped here, I don't think I'll need airbags. There is some...

Sunset Campground in Bryce Mushrooms we collected near Blair Mountain And steak of course Bryce Canyon is always unreal We did the Navajo Loop hime with Wall Street at the end, which we hadn’t done in any of our previous visits. It started raining in the evening so we decided to...

We drove to the White Mountain Wilderness area and started a couple more days of overlanding. The general area of Blair Mountain was pretty awesome obstacle wise, completely empty and very pretty. We chose the Transfer Trail as a gateway into the general area over some of the easier options...

German Bratkartoffeln Steak Oak Flats Loop hike was pretty good, no need to take down the roof top tent, you could hike there directly from the campground. As always, almost no people once you’re a mile from the trailhead. Pretty spectacular canyon. After Black Canyon, we drove...

Campsite on the other side if Engineer Pass There might have been some fancy cooking cooking on that evening Close to camp we found this old mining cabin Broken dam on the way down. In general Engineer Pass had tons of interesting mining artifacts to explore. We took a guided tour into...

Last campsite in the Rim Rocker. We tried to stick to the high elevations as much as possible and enjoyed the mild temperatures. After exiting the trail in Montrose, we aired up and drive to Telluride, had some really good food there and continued on to Immogene Pass. That’s the “social...

Next camp on the White Rim for us was Murphy Hogback. On the way up there was a somewhat steep rocky hill, easy for us. Quite a view from the campsite if you walk 3 minutes to the canton edge. We parked along the trail the next day and explored Hohman Slot Canyon The next camp was at...

So we got back from our road trip to Colorado. The truck performed really well (more on that later). Here are some truck pics! Waiting for one way traffic in front of the Zion Carmel tunnel North Rim Campground, Grand Canyon National Park We drove to Point Sublime and camped there for 2...
