Very cool and clean rig. Whats the interior standing headroom?

Bluesea does make sealed switch panels designed to be out in salt spay. They have IP 67 or 68 versions. Look at their website. There are multiple ones.

You can search ExPo with Google a lot better. Example: skinny guy campers site:expeditionportal.com generically — [search term] site:[websitetosearch.com] I usually find a lot more this way … if its there.

1. Buy a round, flat Neodynium magnet about the size of a nickle (they’re all over Amazon) and way stronger than magnetic catches. 2. Buy or get out your Forstner bit thats slightly larger than the magnet. They are worth having if you don’t already. 3. Using Forstner bit drill a nice flat...

FWIW, I’m 6’3” and could easily stand on something 6 to 8” high and have plenty head room … popped up. The problem could be it‘ll be cramped with the top down and climbing in and out, especially with the traditional flip up back window vs barn doors. I went with a two level platform and a...

Great job! Helpful writeup. Question: I have my battery in a National Luna Powerpack box which is a tight fit, but there’s maybe 3/8 to 1/2” space around it. Is that type of heater thin enough to fit around in that space do you think?

You should also post this in the for sale thread too. DK if you look at WandertheWest.com at all, but there’s a guy there who’s been asking me questions and says he’s gonna buy an Ovrlnd after he sells his rig. He might want to pick up your deposit. Look under Truck Campers/Hallmark and Other.

Just when I thought Toyota couldn't have made the new Tundras more ugly …

Expedition Portal or Overland Journal, I can’t recall which, published a really comprehensive review of popups at the time, which was maybe 2-3 years ago. They definitely covered the AT Summit or Atlas. It got their Editors Choice award for midsize, but not fullsize trucks. They didnt like how...

This ⬆️, but the real issue is Giardia. Ask any backpacker. ANY wild water in the US, with maybe the exception of snow/glacial water very close to the melt source is a very likely source. Most animals can carry it, and especially cattle. It doesn’t just give you the trots for a few days. Giardia...

What’s wrong with Moab water? Uranium? Does that extend to Monticello too? I get water in Monticello all the time.

Will you ever be in sand or snow or muddy conditions? There are many situations where airing down and more rubber can help. In many cases it can get you unstuck where otherwise you’d need a tug. Washboard roads are the thing that I air down for religiously. Saves my truck, camper, and...

Thanks — very helpful. Gives me something to think about how to implement.

Well, if you were REALLY the rugged expeditioner, you could probably get more uses … just saying!??

So, how did the plan to leave it up work? I know Jay says not to, but I keep wondering. I have Jay’s version, and have wondered if I added Velcro on the bottom whether it would work. Does the top of the thermal material mate to the loop that Jay has installed that rests on the top rail bulb...

I’ve found myself wanting some more flat spots for small items (phone/tablet, coffee cup or beer, small utensils while cooking inside, etc), so made two of these out of scrap materials. They clip into the bed slide rail or the 8020 of my cabinet, and are easily removed and stowed. Didn’t want...

My E range Cooper AT3s XLTs on Tundra + camper (heavily loaded) and 15K miles of rough rocks and trails in the Southwest have stood up and performed exceptionally well. As good as Duratracks did on my Tacoma offroad and FAR better on the highway. Love ‘em!

Actually, it’s a very strong TIG welded 1/8” x 1x2” aluminum frame. The skins are VHB mounted and then riveted. It’s super strong and robust. We’ve rattled ours all over on terrible washboards and rolly, rocky trails with zero issues. The AT popups are well built too, and we looked at them, but...

Ovrlnd Campers has made a few.

Well, you would care if you lived where this is rampant and you had a popularly targeted vehicle. There’s a ton of folks jumping through hoops and spending on “general modifications” to protect their cats. Etching, plates added to the sides of skid plates, alarms, cages, etc. Just saying …
