Couple months in and to keep things short and sweet, it was worth doing. Glad I did it.

Beautiful is right. First photo is Keyhole lookout in Joshua Tree. The other two are on the road up to Cerro Gordo ghost town, near Lone Pine.

Add a leaf done. I do plan on getting my router out to remove some excess material from the bases/sides etc. of the cabinets to save some weight

Yeah it is sagging a bit, I’ve got it in the shop to fit an add a leaf kit right now. I should probably load it up and get it to a scale at some point. The cabinets on the left aren’t actually that heavy, but the big one on the right has a 5ft drawer slide that weighs a fair bit.

Almost done building this thing out. A few small jobs left to do including electric etc and lots of sanding and sealing. Will post better photos once it’s complete but this gives a good idea.

Fitted the Iron Man Deltawing 270 awning and started the build out with the fridge slide-out and electrical box. So far so good

Thanks! Yeah the ZR2 would have been nice, but once I've built this thing out I will have really maxed out my available cash, so the Trail Boss made more sense for me. It really packs in a lot of functionality to a more affordable vehicle.

There is a little squat in the back with the camper loaded up I’ve noticed, and I’m pretty sure I felt it hit the bump stops a few times on the way home. I got the Deaver AAL coming just in case. I do plan to add some extra weight with an awning, and the cabinet build probably won’t be light...

Drove down to Ventura, Cali, to get the Topo Toppers Mesa installed. Epic trip. Very happy with the topper. Now to get the build-out underway. For anyone wondering, the Topo Toppers team are incredibly professional and provided excellent customer service. Would recommend.

Dakota, not Durango, surely?

Looks like I miscalculated - the skid plate package is $1300, and there's a couple that I missed, though you can still save something like $400 by DIYing it. I'll need to grab the mid skidplates still, though I'm less concerned about those. Heading down to pick the camper up in a week...

As requested, a build thread on my Colorado Trail Boss. Picked it up around a month ago - I don't have plans to do anything too crazy with it, just a mild overland build. I don't rock crawl or anything like that and don't really want to go out and break things. So far I've fitted previous gen...

Sure, I can put one together. Nice to know there’s interest.

Alright, just picked up my '24 Colorado Trail Boss on Monday. Plans are to install a Topo Toppers Mesa camper canopy. I'll be building it out as an overlander without going too wild (I don't wheel hard, I just want to access some cool places and drag my bike along with me). Does anybody have any...

Funny, I thought "hey this looks very North Van" then I noticed the username. Hi Ken! I'll have a shiny new GMC to show you pretty soon here...

Hey folks, considering one of these, but I have a few hangups before I place an order, and was hoping some of you might be able to help. - I plan to build a slide-out kitchen in the truck bed which necessitates having the tailgate open. With the permanently open passthrough, I'm worried about...

My 2010 towing my DIY trailer on a mountain bike trip in Kamloops a few weeks ago

Here's my home build - bought the trailer as a u-built utility trailer, stripped it down and built the box on top from plywood & fibreglass. Haven't spent much time off road but it pulls well on-road - first trip was 3000km around the Canadian interior/rockies. Would've liked a shorter shakedown...
