The Pelican 1650 case fits perfectly on top of the passenger back seat. It leaves room for the back passenger seat behind the driver or the fridge there.

Love the CJ-10! I can't believe I've never seen one before. Great job.

Man I haven't checked your build out in a while. Great progress! It's looking great.

Thanks for all the photos, and great job building this. After the last couple years, I definitely respect anyone with the skills and tenacity to build their own rig!

Cleaning out the aircraft hangar and found an old dirty box covered with stickers. Took it home, cleaned off the stickers and dirt. Turned out to be a nice Pelican box! This will be great for my overlanding gear.

Here's a great article on using Antigravity Lithium batteries in Overlanding vehicles. https://www.exploringoverland.com/overland-tech-travel/2021/2/21/lifepo4-batteries-worth-the-cost

As you know, I'm running my camper from the truck's stock battery and stock 400 watt inverter. Currently I have a heavy gage 12v extension cord that runs from my cab to the kitchen/fridge. I was looking for a 12v & 120v panel to mount in the kitchen, which is very hard to find. Success, below...

It definitely would. I pieced mine together with scrap pieces of foam rubber I had laying around. If I would have bought new foam rubber, I would have gotten thinner pieces and done the perimeter as you suggested.

Lined my mess kit with some foam rubber so the stuff won’t bang around while driving.

I found another coffee maker that will run on my stock Gladiator 400 watt inverter. I lived in Italy for a while and love this stye espresso (coffee) maker. It is exactly 400 watts, so perfect for my camper. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07P67RSJ...olid=25YKYWA9LUWYP&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it...

7mm Magnum, Weatherby :)

Still considering it. I'd like a year of using it before I commit. There are already some changes I'd like to make for round #2.

Added a sink and counter to my build.

Here's a 300 watt coffee maker, I can plug in my truck's 120v outlet.

Just received my Wolf Pack storage boxes. They fit nicely in a couple places.

12 volt cooking options can be painfully slow and is only an option when cooking for 1-2 people. In this tiny space, with all the soft surfaces inside (carpet, tent, cushions, pillow/blankets), I'm trying to keep any flames, outside of the vehicle. I have a fear of this thing going up in a...

Trying out the Road Pro 12v skillet to make chili for lunch.

Nice day for chili by the river.

I'm reposting a friend's review below on small electric boiling for camping. The steps we will go through to get a cup of coffee! @TexasOverlander Finally did my testing on a few items: I had two Immersion Heating Elements that I bought last year and never used. Received my YQ-105 Hot Plate...

Here's my review of the Dash Mini Griddle vs. Road Pro Skillet for solo truck camping. The Dash Mini (120v 350 watt) took about 10 minutes (including 5 minute heat up) to cook the Ham, Egg & Cheese Bagel and the Road Pro (12v 180 watt) took 25 minutes (including 10 minute heat up). If I only...
