That looks like a really cool build. Does he say how long it lasts on those batteries? With six 18650 batteries I'd guess 2 to 3 hours depending on usage pattern.

I just ordered my first 3D printer (Bambu Lab X1 Carbon w/ AMS) and I am already thinking of dozens of things I plan to make with it that will be related to camping/overlanding. I'm curious if there is a thread somewhere here where people are exchanging ideas for 3D prints. I've searched a...

I’m assuming it’s a gesture of goodwill on his part - kind of like donating your body to science so you can help research.

"Jim plans to give away the trailer in October or November to a qualified fabricator or small craft builder interested in replicating the design to compete with high-end models like the Australian Kimberley Caravan"

OK I just realized I could upload the transcript to CHatGPT and save everyone an hour: 🔧 Vehicle Overview Truck: 2021 Toyota Tacoma, heavily modified for remote off-road travel. Camper: 2003 Hi-Lo trailer, retrofitted for extreme durability and self-sufficiency. 🛠 Custom Modifications Truck...

I made it about 15 minutes into the video at 2x speed and all that was covered in those 15 minutes was the importance of airing down and a home made 4-tire air down system that the guy built himself and “hard lined” to each of the 4 tires. I ran out of patience after that. With some editing...

???? At least here is the video:

Where else is it posted? Also, your web site (and photos) are broken/not working.

generally speaking you'd need to retrofit the brakes to something with a manual cable actuation in addition to electric. The electro-magnetic only brakes can only be actuated by continuously applying power, which would result in a dead battery fairly quickly. :) Something like this...

That thing is absolutely bad*ss looking. Just curious - can the interior bed be configured as a "couch" with a table by any chance? Thats the one thing I need that I don't have with my Turtleback - a place to sit and work when the weather is lousy or the wind is blowing...

I have both an older Traeger and Z Grills pellet smoker in full size models and have found the Z Grill to be every bit as reliable and consistent as the much more expensive Traeger (the parts are even interchangeable!). I'm eyeing the Z Grills 200A Pro but have a few questions about taking...

Just saw this and filled out the survey. I use carbon steel pans at home (most of them vintage French stuff that I collected over the years). I'm a fairly serious home chef and love the way carbon steel cooks if it is polished and seasoned correctly. I stopped buying (and throwing away)...

I wonder how precise the temperature control is, and what the power consumption profile looks like. Could be perfect for "sous vide" type cooking during transit between camps. Imagine arriving at camp after a 6 hour drive and having a perfectly done steak that just needs to be quickly seared...

I’ve got something similar but the exterior buckles and pouches tend to snag on things when trying to stow/extract it from a Tetris cube of gear. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Two+ weeks powering my fridge continuously with a 200 watt panel on the roof of the Jeep and the battery has never dropped below 80% (and that was after a day and a half of rain). Setup seems to be working perfectly and the 200 watt panel usually has the battery completely topped off by about 10...
