I put this together more than a year ago to save time inflating and deflating my truck and trailer tires. Each side is ~33’ long. We got rid of the trailer and it’s too much hose to carry around and it’s just collecting dust now, it needs to be used.
Located in Salt Lake City area. Price is...
I think drawers will be the easiest to use in the long run, but, as you’ve pointed out, a bit more complex to build and heavier. It may be good to understand how much heavier, to see what you’d give up for ease of use.
Shelves look light and simple, but you need to devise a way to keep your...
I don’t have any issues with my worn Duratracs. They are Load C, so maybe they hold balance better than the Load Es. I don’t notice them being loud, but maybe that’s one of those things you slowly get used to. I rotate them religiously at 5k. They have been fantastic tires.
I spoke with...
Do you mind explaining why you chose plywood + foam core as opposed to foam core only? Or, did I miss it already?
The build looks amazing, I can’t wait to see where this goes.
I have 265/75R16s and 4.88s on my 3rd Gen Tacoma and think it’s fine, but I did it to get a little more usage out of that 6th gear in the AT. Tires are a riveting subject, so I’d love to hear what you end up going with.
Did you see Overland Under Budget’s Tacoma build on YouTube? That thing is pretty rad, but you really need to be disciplined with the weight on those small trucks. It’s too bad too because the size is so nice.
I favor Victron because they don’t integrate their chargers into one unit. If one charger fails, you can replace only what broke. The price for two Victron chargers (one solar and one DCDC) comes out similar to the combined Renogy and less than Redarc (I think, it’s been a while). That being...
It looks like a Cub Camper or a Kimberly Kamper, both have little to no presence in the US. I’m not sure if there was ever a US manufacturer that offered something similar. Those heavy canvas tents are nice though.
Two things:
1. This is tucked into a small corner of my truck’s bed, so it’s somewhat cramped, but all of the components (charge controllers, breakers, bus bars, shunt) are attached to a removable aluminum sheet in case any maintenance is required.
2. I don’t have enough experience to lay wire...
