Sb - have a look at the Shadow awning by Alu-Cab or the Batwing. If you keep your rear hatch door level you can use an awning like one of these that sets up super quickly and easily. The Foxwing is a cheaper option, but setup takes a good bit longer and you have to store and handle all the...

External, but under cover! I think having an easy to access galley that has coverage from the elements is the best. The most social aspect of camping and being in the outdoors is cooking and drinking beer. I think going inside to do those things is against the spirit of the excursion...

Here are some photos of a box we are building for the back of a 40-series land cruiser:

I fear that in practice this isn't going to work that well. I am building a long drawer using the 9308 60" slides and it is a skinny drawer and when fully extended and locked there is a decent amount of side to side movement. For just a long drawer this is fine, but it looks like you're...

Very nice! Do you holes cut at the rear of the fridge box for ventilation? I talked to a guy who built something similar then burned up his compressor because he made the box too tight!

Sorry to hear about the setup. I've been following along and rooting for you! You crushed the frame when tightening those bolts for the timbren? Hard to see from the photos while looking on my phone.

Redmen I would be more than happy to discuss with you. I'll warn you these are not inexpensive systems. We use high quality materials and build them right. Also if it's for a 100 series I can make it perfect! If it's for a disco 2 and I don't have it here on site I can't get all the side...

Nope I am in PA but the troopy build is for a guy just outside Atlanta and I make it back and forth that way a few times a year and we still do custom cabinetry work for a high end builder in Atlanta.

Thanks guys. These projects are fun! I own a construction and renovation company so we have a pretty decent little woodshop where myself and one of my guys do little projects like these between our renovation work. Another member of the local Land Cruiser club just dropped off his 40 series...

The fine folks at adventure Trailers swear that the rear stabilizer jacks are not necessary. They sell a trapezoidal type ratchet strap support system that Mario swears works just as well. Might be worth a call and chat with them as it's pretty inexpensive and a lot easier and lighter then other...

Thank you! It's Baltic birch plywood. A mix of half inch and three quarter to try and keep weight down but still make sure its strong enough to be bounced and beaten around in the back of the truck while hitting some pretty serious trails. The opposite side has a 74" long unit that serves as...

Love your photos and trip reports. Thanks for posting!

What is the difference b/w the XV1 and XV2? I don't see any information on the 1 on the website?

Might want to try to JDM section on Mud. Lots of 24v Japanese trucks over there. I have one of these sitting in a box waiting to be installed in my BJ74 land cruiser. Glws!

This is a storage unit build we are doing for the back of a Troopy. Almost done! Left side storage for a Yeti cooler. Right side upper pull out cutting board. Pretty fun project!

Any more photos of the shadow enclosure? Looks awesome!!

Your plan is a good one. Here is one I built using the 9308 slides. Little longer for a ARB63. I mounted the slides to the side of the drawer box, and then mounted pieces of angle aluminum to the slides and attached the BB ply to that to serve as the base. It works really well, and the...

Looks very nice! I actually have the ARB slide in my truck but have build 2 other slides using the Accuride heavy duty lock in lock out slides and it is a much nicer setup than ARB at a few bucks less cost. I would also recommend getting rid of the ARB tie down kit and instead just use the 4...

I think the partially inset wheels is the way to go to give larger size and keep the overall track width inline with most vehicles. Nice design, I'll be following along to watching the execution!

Looks great. Lift details?
