Incredible build! Read your whole thread at TW. Masterful and thoughtful job. Surprised to see it for sale after all that work. I’ve been up to see Jay in Flag at Ovrlnd (who directed me to your buil) and am seriously interested in one. They are well built. Have a moderately built 2nd gen...

Yeah definitely loaded for sure! So, was that to mod it primarily for capability, busted stuff wheeling, to support a too high a payload, or busted due to a too high payload?

I want add a light popup shell (AT Summit, Go-Fast, Vagabond, etc.) to my ’09 Tacoma for more comfortable post-retirement wandering. Like many, I’m surprised by how heavy my rig is. Still a bit under the GVWR, but my front is only 35lbs under the GAWR -- not fully packed. Even a light weight...

Any chance you can elaborate on the thermal events? Been wondering how risky the various Lithium formulations are in the AZ/Southwestern heat. I’ve seen some operating range specs up to 140°F, but the inside of a closed vehicle in the summer sun can easily exceed that. Also any idea how much...

Search on YouTube for “Cricket Trailer Dave Highsmith”. He has a longish vid of mods to a Cricket. The first one he shows is a receiver for bikes.

DC short bed Tacoma with a hard shell tonneau cover. Wish I could fit a bucket, but too full when camping. I was thinking of a trash compactor bag tightly closed, but seems still too likely to snag. The other thought the Opsak suggestion raised is an old dry bag I'm no longer using. Seems like...

So for those who use a bag system of some sort, what do you do when you're out in the back country for a week and there's no dumpster available? I've been thinking about ways to carry wag bags "safely". I have limited room which rules out using a sealed 5 gallon bucket. I've thought about...

Thanks for the info, dwh, I'll check out the B2b and split relay systems.

Are all of these National Luna issues solely with their isolator/controller? I ask because I'm considering the National Luna portable power pack. Does anyone know if this uses the same isolator/controller that everyone seems to be having trouble with under their hood? Is anybody here using...

Thanks Machine1 and Freshlikesushi, gives me some food for thought. I think I'm only interested in the OB due to the cargo capacity (my camping kit is sized for the truck, plus I'm a photographer and I can't seem to leave any gear behind!) plus the FLS comment on harsh ride is sort of important...

Outbacks in your Texas group? Hey Machine1 -- nice modding and driving your Forester. I didn't see any Outbacks in in your vids, but maybe I missed them. Seems like the approach/departure/BO angles favor the Foresters on those trails. Are Outbacks in your group doing those sorts of trails...

I got sick of managing those stupid disposable tanks, not to mention the waste they generate. After I had one spew propane all over ( fortunately before lighting) due to a faulty seal I ditched them for this...

Actually I'm now thinking of buying a Busdepot Ezy awning cause I like the tensioned fabric and ditching their complicated bars and just using some tensioned tarp poles I have as spreaders (for faster set up) and using a slightly different connection to the shackle mounts to butt two more tarp...

Silvered Materiel? Great project and thread. I'm thinking through an awning for my hard shell tonneau cover to replace my umbrella rig. The thing I do like about the umbrella is the silvered underside that stops heat bleed through (important where I go in the SW even in the fall/spring...
