I finally got my hands on a 5lb propane tank. This old dude was selling his tank, coleman tree, and an adaptor for a grill to use a propane tank instead of the small disposables. All for 55 bucks! And the tank was about half full. Not a bad deal for $55. It all works too! I've really been...

AH how nice to see somebody else who went the same route as me. Clean work dude. only difference is i see you are using steel sheet metal as your walls vs the aluminum route i went. Still this work looks hell clean. look forward to seeing more. I bought those same exactly amazon 500lb slides...

Nice work on the Switch panel. I like the idea. I'm gonna be doing something very similar very soon. I just need to run all the wires to where the lights will be permanently mounted and gotta weld on some light tabs on the roof rack for the lights. It's gonna be a bit more work for me though...

Holy crap I missed out alot over the last few months. lol I read you are getting a Diff charging system! LUCKY!!! I had thought hard about using a stock toyota axle specifically for that reason but i didnt want the headache of the electric hydraulic brakes. Although i definitely like the idea a...

After what seems like 2 years I was finally able to get around to installing the Propex heater onto my trailer. I hard mounted it to the steel floor rather then onto the wood. Which called for machined screws and nylon lock washers to secure it into place. Here are all the pix i took.* Gotta...

I got the last of my electrical parts shipped this weekend. Now it's time to figure out how to wire everything up. I gotta research what order to do this breaker, master on/off switch, and switch panel. I have 8 switches on there and I ordered 10 relays for each switch and ill have 2 left over...

Finally got around to making the pantry/spice rack/utensils storage on the pull out drawer of my trailer. It doesn't look too bad considering it's my first woodworking project. It's solid and it will serve its purpose when we go camping. That's all i care. It is removable in case i wanna take it...

Now to install this waterproof cable gland to pass through the solar panel wires into the front cab to connect it to the future charge controller. Directions say to drill a whole the diameter of the wire you plan to pass through. So that's what i did for these 2 wires.* This cable gland...

Time for trailer updates!!! Well, lets get to it. For the solar panel mount I had to chop up the solar panel mount and add twice as many holes to each rail then what it came with for a larger variety of angles.* Here is the solar panel mount after all the adjustments had been made to it.*...

This is actually the first trip i ever used my Propex heater with the trailer. The weather in the middle of the night pummeled on Saturday night. Luckily the heater worked like a charm. Out of everything on this trailer i was looking forward to testing out this weekend my Propex HS2000 forced...

So those of you who follow the Instagram page know that i have neglected to update my online forum build threads. I have a lot to update you guys on so be patient.* Since the last trip to Lake Elsinore we have taken a trip up to Angels crest national forest for a fun weekend trip of just dry...

Holy crap i hadn't thought about that. Now thats a great idea. I guess i can always let meat to thaw out by leaving it out on the table when camping in summer. Thanks for the tip. Love the frozen water bottle idea; i do that for work all the time. I cant believe i didnt bother using it for...

I Found the exhaust fitting that "Tinskipper" used in that youtube video. 2-1/4" ID x 2-1/2" OD. which is basically what he used. It costs $3.27 This was the hardest piece to find! It seems like that size is discontinued or non existent in many other online vendors. Here is the link...

Thanks buddy. Those 4runners are my favorite body style. You're welcome guys It was hard to find good reviews on this heater. I was frustrated trying to learn more so i just had to make a video to help others out in similar situations. I went ahead and bought the heater and was happy with...

Sorry guys. Been away from updating since the last trip in July. I haven't had much to work on because i found out i have a baby on the way! Whoop whoop! Congrats to me! . With that i have been taking on a ton of work at the hospital. So fitting in trailer time has been out of the question...

My reply is based for the hitch security system. I too am in the same situation as you right now. We need to protect our investments and this is actually why i suggest not using the max coupler for a lock. Sure it will deter most. But say i pass up your camp when you aren't there and i also have...

My two loves Little Isaac was having the funnest time finding all sizes and shapes of rocks. I don't think anything hit the spot more this past weekend then this delicious sweet watermelon. These full sized bamboo kitchen style chopping boards Really came in handy this weekend. I get down...

With a such a nice clean trailer that has a new clean coat of paint it was only fair that i gave my 4Runner some love. The bumpers and rock sliders were beginning to look grey from being so faded. Using some impervious surgical drapes as an overspray shield this thing came out looking sexy!

Cooler slide out is done! All set for camping. Now all that is left on my to do list is to fabricate a propane tank holder/mount, install the Propex heatsource forced air heater to warm my cvt roof top tent. Install my @all4offroad rock lights, mount the solar panel and begin with electrical...
