the D40 Frontier/Navarra has the same payload in the US as in Australia, but over there they use Kg! I think with an engineered Australian suspension and bigger brakes, you are probably safe doubling the payload if you pay attention to the wear items like pads and bushings.

That looks clean and compact--can't hardly tell how much work went into it! Keep us posted when you find out how it all works together...

Umm.... what exactly are you trying to say? It hasn't come through clearly, spell-checking might help-

Ah, thanks Verkstad, beat me to it being simple! Well here's a bunch more words... Connections are usually where electrical things go wrong. You may have stayed within the fuse rating but a poor connection inspired currents much hotter than the housing could handle. Resistance is electrical...

Have you checked the physical connections? The wiring bay on the Multiplus is very tight and a fight to get big cables landed. I would check the outlet/cord/screw-down connectors in the bay with a voltmeter to cross those possibilities off the list first--

Topo is offering an insulated roof for around $600, I believe. Otherwise it is finished aluminum with 2 formed bare aluminum thwarts thats about 7/8" deep. The Mesa top interior is about 100" x 46" so you will need more than one standard sheet of foam to insulate it.

Topo Toppers is in Ventura, probably close enough to go take a look--they made my camper in a matter of months and it's awesome-

For some reason I thought horizontal tanks dispense liquid propane and the vertical ones a vapor, so the forklift tanks would probably not work for a stove... Worth checking what the output/ regulator compatibility is probably. Aside, I use a vertical 10lb on my swing out, it's about the same...

Crank and cam sensors do expire on these trucks, but they're the sort of thing you can replace in the parts-store parking lot in Nevada mid-trip if the code comes up; not difficult, not a dealbreaker, just a <$100 part and 20+ minutes of light swearing. Some folks replace all 3 at once, I've...

C-value is like the size of the opening in a container, it is a physical limitation on the amount of energy that can go in or out of the battery. I could have an olympic size pool, but if I could only empty it with a drinking straw, it wouldn't be much help in a fire. However large your solar...

"Ebrabaek Customs--you can't afford it" That will only make people want them more! Slippery slope here...

Actually, the packages start at $0; add dirt. New tires on stock wheels help- $1000-1200 OME suspension, better than good, $1500 + install or just upgrade to factory full-size truck parts for a 3" lift and crazy travel $3000+ install-- move out of "decently capable off-road" to a totally...

Yes, 80/20 bolts nicely... if you use a threadlocker; Permatex or Locktite, otherwise the fasteners will rattle loose in no time. Wear gloves, the stuff is not actually anything you wan t to touch, eat or breathe, but it works. That said, your bed moves and flexes, if you have two parts they...

This is dry sand, but worth a try before you start working the shovel-

though not built-in, the camp chef everest is an awesome stove, excellent control/simmer and 20k BTU per burner, basically twice what anyone else offers. It is faster than my built-in gas range at home. You could make a tray area to house it flush with the counter (probably remove the lid), and...

Wishing it will work with your existing electrical (then buying an inverter the system can't supply), won't get you a hot shower necessarily. Check the "C"-value of your battery and the max output of the BMS... and do the math. A borderline setup will seriously cut down the lifespan of the...

Oh No! Hope it didn't total the truck--do you have paint-matched bumpers? J.K, glad that was recorded, hope it's easy to deal with-- Much better news that it takes you camping happily. Is there a place for a spare or will you have to get creative?

Propane is very energy dense, so it works well for on demand heaters, if you have propane handy it will work well and quickly. The Bosch is 1500 watts of 120v. AC, so you need an inverter to deliver that--the lithium will likely handle that output, but that's 125a of 12v. DC, so you should...

ground tent vs. rooftop tent, is it worth it? Is it Expo? But really, awning is usually where you plan to use it, deploys and packs quickly. Canopy is possibly lighter, a little more work to set up and anchor and many less $$. When your camp kit, like your kitchen or tailgate are attached to...

The Frontier is a simple, analog beast, very capable and durable, lots of fun off road. The OME suspension is engineered in Australia to pretty exacting standards and a noticeable upgrade over stock. Otherwise, with the factory locker, these trucks need very little to be outstanding in the dirt...
