I'll second the suggestion of the Victron MPPT charge controller. The Bluetooth app it comes with is almost as much meter as you need, easily programmable to work with specific battery types and useful to see when you are getting power and how much. It will record your input and usage for 30...

Congratulations on the truck, glad to hear you like it so much. The OME suspension is a great addition, much better than stock comfort or handling. Even with a shell, drawers a fridge and food you may not need the HD springs. With all that on a long bed, mine only level out now that I have a...

With a good MPPT controller, you can use panels built for residential installation. You might check with local solar installers for a good deal on a single panel or a few that are left over or orphaned. Most installers buy large lots of panels and ultimately have to pay to store the ones they...

Not really necessary, I have the HD pack on a long-bed frontier with a Leer shell. I have not installed the final leaf. Even packed full of food, gear, water and gas, the truck rides much better than the stock suspension. Unloaded, but with the shell, it is comfortable and the rear tires are...

A 12v. mattress pad runs about 65w but will be slower to get your bedding up to the temp. you want. If you remember to turn it on for the last hour or so of driving, you can use alternator to do the work. Even if you don't have it on while you are parked, it can be a noticeable improvement. If...

With ample evidence that car doors are not bear proof, I would say no. Not only are bears smart enough to manipulate latches, they are strong enough to destroy thin gauge sheet-metal. Most bear-resistant trash boxes are 3/32"-1/8" steel, I never seen an aluminum one. Basically, if you can put a...

I'm working on hanging a stainless steel sink between my frame rails to hold 1-2 batteries. I want the AGM I have to be able to vent if required and drain if immersed, and an $89 sink seems to fit the bill. It's located with a few rivnuts through the floor of the cab, but supported by a length...

I found a folding metal sawhorse with adjustable legs at a big box store. My kitchen has clips on the bottom to secure it to the horse. Not inexpensive but very solid- Breaks down and folds up easily, not in the way if I want to put the box on a table or my tailgate.

I have been impressed with the mattress heater while fall camping in the back of my truck. Mine is pinned to a mattress topper, under a sheet and a large down comforter. It's powered from a 95AH house battery that is only recharged with the alternator right now. Apart from turning it on, no...

I have this faucet on drawer sliders in the back of my truck, its fairly small & well-built. The spout and its base both rotate 360 deg. The picture shows the tap open, the handle is at 90 deg when it is closed. if this is a clearance issue, it can be replaced with a smaller lever or ball-...

Congrats on the new truck! I've had mine for 9 years and love it, have a few opinions... I found the OME full suspension much better than stock, tighter, more stable, more responsive. I got about 1.5"-2" lift from it and added 1/2" leveling spacers to the front, I have yet to have coil-bucket...

I'm working on a drawer kitchen for the back of my truck, works on the tailgate or pulls-out to stand on a folding sawhorse. 18" tall is a lot of room! 9" is what I have, 19" wide, 54" long My top is a work surface and the sides fold down to access pots, dishes, spices & paper towels. Stove is...

5% duty rating = 45 seconds pulling, 15 minutes resting... A more expensive winch will buy you minutes if you think you need them.
