Chassis unlimited "Octane" I believe is the model. Winch version obviously!

On the to-do list in the near term, in no particular order: Install another 200w solar. Screens for the side openings so sleeping in the bed is bearable. DC power for starlink (I’ve got all the pieces, just need to wire it up). My plan is to have this as a standalone unit with router, poe...

Now for a bit of the building part. Truck was purchased with a decked system, but ultimately I decided that wasn’t ideal for what I wanted. I wanted to be able to sleep 2 people in the bed and 2 upstairs. I also planned to transfer my fridge, battery, charger, and solar setup from my...

Welcome to my build thread! I hope you find it interesting and helpful. There’s a lot borrowed from many of you, and some things I haven’t seen before. Perhaps it might help somebody or at least provide a bit of entertainment! First, some tall tales, perhaps unnecessary, but hopefully useful in...

Yes, 1 fuse close to the charging/starter battery. Between the DC charger and house battery I think I actually double fused mine (one on each end). That might be overkill, but the thought was, if my hot wire were to be inadvertently grounded in between, then while charging, you'd want a fuse...

One note about your fuse or breaker (I used fuses). The intent of the device is to protect the wiring (and your downstream electronics) from overheating or fire in the case of a device overdraw or a short circuit. With that in mind, you'll want your fuse as close to the power source of each...

If you utilize a DC to DC charger, your house battery (the one powering your heater) will not charge from your starter battery when the alternator is not running. The charger identifies when a charging voltage is present (alternator running) and only charges in that case. There would be no...

What's your general location in Arkansas? How weatherproof is the box? I'm assuming no stabilization jacks (I don't see any). Any clue on the general tongue weight fully loaded? Also, how weatherproof is the box? Thanks!!

So camper is gone and it's truck only for sale at this time?

Just to clarify, it's a true leveling kit with a lift in the front, but none in the rear, correct? And it was accomplished with the coil overs and not spacers? Are you running stock upper control arms? Any issues with alignment? Looks like the cap has a rail to mount a roof rack, is that...

Your build thread mentions rear seat delete. Do you still have the rear seat is it long gone? Any other removed/swapped parts that are included? Have transmission/differential/transfer case fluids been replaced and if so at what interval? Thanks!

Already have a 5, time to get an 11? Like an idiot???? I have anxiety about running out on the 5 but haven't yet...

How low are you typically draining the battery pack? I'm looking to upgrade battery/solar setup for a very similar overall power use scenario. Haven't quite finalized battery/solar charging capacity, but have been looking at something with a little less solar and a little more battery. Do you...

Fairly new acquisition. It's big, but I like it so far!

Still available? Do you have the original electrical connections?

I use the swiss surplus water bags like these (I don't have any experience with that particular seller). They are very tough but do impart a taste to the water although I don't really mind. Works well for me.

At that price point you should probably at least consider a springbar or kodiak canvas tent. Might not be right for you, but it meets the easy to set up and able to stand up requirements and everyone who has one seems to love them. Probably worth checking some of the outlet sites for deals. I...

Thermos double wall stainless. Pick the style that you like best, I like the leakproof options. I use mine every day and it always gets put in the camping kit.

For me it would be ENO Double Nest hammock. Not exactly a new gadget but it always gets thrown in the truck or daypack anytime we're camping, hiking or doin any outdoor activities. The kids love it too!

The next one I want to try is Solarforce Z2 about 20 bucks on the ebay. Read good things about it, and the single AA form factor is what I typically prefer.
