Scissor Steps - Rear Bumper Here is my setup for getting on and off of the rear bumper (into the gear locker and onto the roof ladder).

Tail Light Cages - For Bumper & Camper I'm sure Erin and I will back into something at some point (hopefully not 🤞). If so, a little protection around the tail lights will be nice. The lower cage in the picture (x 4) is for the bumper and the upper cage (x 2) is for the camper. I will have a...

Rear Bumper - Continued...... The fitment came out good 🤙.

Rear Bumper

Rear Winch Mount - Continued...... Temporarily mounted/clamped to mark some holes. Drilling a total of fourteen 19/32" holes in the frame.........., simply sucked! My arms/shoulders definitely felt that one 💪. After a bit of drilling I was finally able to bolt it on.

Rear Bumper & Camper Assembly Design - Continued...... More hardware orders. Here is most/all of the hardware (and some small specialty parts) for the rear bumper & camper assembly. This required a ton of research and digging to find the specific items I needed. Hopefully not, but I'm pretty...

Rear Bumper & Camper Assembly Design - Continued...... 5. Spare Tire Carrier There are simply no prebuilt options out there for a spare tire carrier that would have worked for my build. I might go as far as saying that they are only one or two prebuilt spare tire carrier options out there for...

Rear Bumper & Camper Assembly Design - Continued...... 4. Bumper Ladder/Steps. This is probably the most miss designed, or ignored, element of an expedition vehicle I see. Some builders will include large/tall gear lockers on the back of a camper and no way to get to them (or no way to access...

Design, Design, Design & More Design……, After getting the solar panel racks designed, I had to track down all of the material (metal) and hardware. Not a huge deal, but just a few more things to add to the amount of time everything takes. Way back somewhere in the build thread, I bought a...

I'm still here and cranking away on the Beast ITTOG (y). The build swallowed me whole for a while (I had to shut the world out for a bit), but luckily spit me out for a much needed vacation and build thread update. We get on the plane tomorrow and will disappear for three weeks :love:! I...

Grey Water Tank Install It's still a little dirty inside the compartment from the rainy day trip back from the paint shop for the interior of the camper. I'll get it all squeaky clean before the final install. I'm sure I will need to remove and re-install the tank and brackets another 100...
