Thanks! Sorry for the delay, haven't been around in a while. I have a 105AH Lithium battery , 200 watts of solar with a 20 amp MPPT controller, a 20 amp DC to DC charger while driving and a 10 amp noco charger for when I have shore power which is basically just for topping off at home. Also run...
I ditched a pintle setup for the lock n roll. all you have to do is get it close and drop it in. My biggest reason for picking the LnR over the MaxC was ease of hookup. https://locknroll.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/New-LNR-Animation-273-x-205.gif
Made another successful trip, this time 3500 miles total from Louisiana up to Colorado and back. Luckily for me the passenger front wheel bearing went bad on the FJ 2 weeks before leaving for our trip. I say lucky because changing it at home was way better than the alternative of fixing it on...
Thank you. I had kept up with cost pretty good until recently. It should be around 8500.00 now. That's including everything. Good luck with your build!
Today I added a second awning and replaced the blown out original shocks. I didn't realize how bad they was until I took them off, they're damping abilities was non existent, lol. Did some test driving today and it's a noticeable difference going down the road.
Made a few changes. Added some more decals to the camper and redone the roof rack using 1 x 2 aluminum tube. Also added airbags to the rear of the FJ. No more sag when towing.
Just got back from Big Bend NP, did 2200 miles in 7 days! If you never been to BBNP I highly recommend it. It was our first time and I was blown away. Speaking of blown away otw home I noticed both shocks leaking on the trailer. About the only thing I hadn't replaced yet. Also added some new decals.
Thanks! We live in an elevated home on the bank of a wild river so I wasn't hanging around for a monster like Ida. It was the first time I've ever evacuated and was glad we did. Luckily all we had was a few trees down and a few shingles missing and no electricity for 3 weeks. I do admit though...
Finally got a chance to weigh it. Unhooked on the scales to make sure to get the full weight. Ended up weighing just about what I thought it should. 2180lbs loaded with most of our gear. The tongue weight is 250lb. Also got it cleaned up for the next trip.
