First trip next week with my new Dometic CFX 75DZ..fridge AND freezer. So far so good in garage testing. Uses about the same amount of battery power as my ARB 50 liter.

“however I'm failing to visualize how a bear would open up a locked Xterra and get into the food. Now I can. understand the bear getting up on the Xterra with two paws or maybe even taking a swipe at a window or something along those lines. However I feel it would be relatively safe compared to...

I also bought a Rhino Batwing from ETrailer last year. First trip out on the Mojave Trail, a sudden 30-second 40mph+ gust of wind origamied it before I could fully stake it down. ?‍♂️ Calm to dust devil in an instant. Snapped two of the Delrin hinge pieces without any replacement parts on hand...

sourdoughben...any interior pics?

Find a BedRug for your model. Padded, super easy to clean, adds a bit of insulation, can put sleeping pads right on the floor. Easy on the knees for us old guys.

33” tires (skinny is better IMO) and very minimal torsion bar crank. Don’t go wild, keep it as close to stock as possible. The service body is a great idea. I’ve considered a style line (very low) height service body with either a taller aluminum shell or an FWC/ATC camper on back as a just...

I currently drive an ‘02 2500HD. Went through the same thought process as you. On my former ‘96 Ram I ran an ARB Sahara bumper (good piece of kit) with a 15k Warn winch. The weight of the two was, IMO, too much for my 1/2-ton even with the solid axles. I tried all kinds of things to help out but...

Front Runner sells a unit that fits behind the front seats in the rear foot wells since you mentioned that area. Obviously, whatever solution you decide to go with be sure to secure them properly so that they don’t become cannonballs in the event of a panic stop. I use the bed of my truck for...

Very nice, good job!

Great setup...don’t change a thing!

Our 2010 Z71 Burb still sags a bit with a big load. I like the idea of the air bags if carrying a larger than normal load. Of note on the Z71s: the OEM Rancho shocks are not great. Regrettably, I let the dealership replace them with the OEM units. If I were to do it over again I’d go with...

Thank you hobbsrt. Nice work! Mine looks identical, dman, maybe they changed it in later years. They do sell a new fascia kit that is molded to accept the larger double-din, but it runs north of a c-note. ? I had the same issue with the “din & a half” in my Dodge Ram.

Re: BOSS double din. Did you have to trim the fascia or did you buy a new one? I have an ‘02 and want to change it out to something similar. Thanks in advance for your response.

Now following...thanks!

Justwandering: is that a Goose Gear setup or did you design/build your own out of 80/20? Looks great!

The G80s (made by Eaton) are plenty tuff and work well but if it got to the point where I had to rebuild mine I’d opt to replace with a Detroit TruTrack. Gears rather than friction packs and virtually transparent in operation.

I also investigated the carrier used on H1s. No fab skills so looked for pricing. ?‍♂️? Holy smokes they’re expensive. Good luck with whatever solution you come up with.

Thanks for the tour. Wow, eeriely similar to my setup. Yes, I also have to be modular since I use the truck as a truck. 2002 2500HD longbed with a Leer 122 hi-rise, also using a Roll-a-Cot. I can sit straight up...barely. I have a camper plug in the bed so I chose to use an ArkPak to power my...

“I really like the Wrangler Riggs Ranger pant except for the lack of back pocket flaps.” Yup. They’d be just about perfect for my use.
