First trip and night sleeping in it! Backed that up with the an 800km 4 night trip Then another 5 night trip. We are totally in love with the new set up. Quick easy set up, no hassle, just push a button and flip 3 walls. The actuators make removing it from the bed so easy. Back in...

Tailgate progress Sheeting was a big milestone. Flip up walls complete w/ drip edges. Tailgates wrapping up Topbox almost complete After drilling 600+ holes into the canopy for rivets we naturally had some concerns about leaks. Sika 221 is an amazing product. Insulating How...

I'm going to keep this relatively short, full build can be found here - https://expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/1986-gmc-s-15.175189/ The wife and I camped in our canopy for two years and always wanted a bit more space but also wanted to maintain the minimal size. So began the plan/dream of...

It's all trial and error. If you can get gas struts with bleeder screws you can get them overcharged for what you need and bleed them down to an ideal assist. Looking forward to seeing more pics.

Man awesome progress. I'm really looking forward to seeing your pop top in action. Have you decided on how your going to lift it? One thing I didn't account for was how much extra friction the gasket can create, especially when it's compressed. Just something to consider if you haven't.

Man I absolutely love everything you've got going on here. That alaskan is such a mint looking unit. Can't wait to see more.

Something a bit different. Had the blower rebuilt for my '84. This has been sitting for nearly 4 months now. It will be nice to get a month or two of driving out of it before it gets parked for another 4 months+. Now back to the camper. The actuators making loading and unloading it from...

^ that would have been an awesome sight to see. Man I was blown away by the beauty of that park. I'm really hoping to go back and do a multi day canoe trip. Couple random days out here and there, here are some pics. Out for an early morning hunt/sight in the rifles with a buddy a week or so...

We went for an evening paddle on Clearwater lake. Only place to camp at this end of the park is a provincial campground which was totally reserved. We just asked the park ranger if she had any spots and luckily she had this double site cancel just an hour before we arrived. Otherwise it...

That night we camped at Dunn Lake and lucked out with the one of the nicest spots we've gotten at a rec site in recent memory. A little evening fish and paddle The fish were gorging on these guys The next morning, Nicole was trying to spot some wildlife Then onward to Wells Gray. First...

^ Thanks for all good words. It's so nice to be out and exploring again. That is definitely one drawback to building your own unit, the time building takes away from everything else. We just got back from a 6 day trip exploring Wells Gray provincial park and some of the surrounding area. Here...

Man this is an awesome build. Absolutely love these old rangers. That camper is perfect! Can't wait to see more.

Awesome build. Those OVRLAND campers are something else.

Found this gem of a spot the next night on a little unnamed lake. This lake was unreal for fishing. Small little pan fries, but every single cast. 2 weren't going to make it back so they hit the frying pan Antesy creek Driving up to the Antesy range Wicked cabin for anyone to use...

Day 3, exploring Seymour arm and Seymour river. Pictures don't do the size of these slugs justice. They are damn near 4" long. Quick morning paddle on Humamilt lake. Hiked into Albas falls Lobster mushroom on the side of the trail Dip in the falls Absolutely stacked...

^ Thanks. Bridging will 100% be an issue. Just on the couple of cooler nights we spent in it you could see a bit of condensation building up on the exposed aluminum members. I'm hoping the dry heat from the diesel heater will alleviate this a fair bit. We are also working towards skinning the...

^ Well thank you, I appreciate that. One of the last big pieces arrived today, I spent a lot of time researching this and trying to figure out the best route to go. I ended up settling on a planar 2d diesel heater. The quality seems to be quite high and the price is reasonable when compared...

Explored winifred falls swimming in/out Fresh blueberries and huckleberries everywhere at the moment. On the way to rainbow falls, unreal spot. One of the best showers I've ever had lol. Nicole on the left for scale. Literally picking lunch on the trail Then a quick...

I really appreciate that guys but there is definitely some way better stuff on this forum. Some absolutely unreal van builds and crazy campers. You would have to swap the whole Zr2 frame to pick up any lift or wider stance. The rear has different leaf spring mounting locations that are...

Just to tie into that last post, some more random tree fruit picking. Ended up picking 35lbs of plums and couldn't take anymore. Random outing, fishing/canoeing/mushrooming. Only caught one, but it was a beauty day. Completely forgot to take pics on the water. Falls below the dam on...
