    Yup, another 5th gen 4Runner...but pulling a DIY expedition camper

    Thanks Reaver! About the nets, they're just going in place to keep things from flying off the existing shelves, which has happened almost every trip now. They'll hook back up under the shelves, out of the way when not in use. The small galley shelves have the net and it seems to be effective...

    Yup, another 5th gen 4Runner...but pulling a DIY expedition camper

    It's been a minute... Took some time yesterday to get the shop back in shape and be able to get the whole rig in there again. Can't really see them in the corner but we inherited a couple of tractors. Those, along with the blue bus, are now taking up one bay instead of two. The latest...

    Reaver's Squaredrop Camper Build!!

    I like that box... Thinking of the same to hold a diesel heater and a hot water heater. Why do you keep adding to my project list? :)

    Reaver's Squaredrop Camper Build!!

    Very cool! edit* I have 400w of solar charging and in the sunniest situation, I've only ever seen a max realized wattage of about 320. More often it's ~250-275. For what it's worth... But it's still quick at recharging.

    My DIY offroad utility (base camp) trailer

    Nice job on the trailer. How do you like that Gazelle? Just picked one up but haven't used it yet.

    Wolfbox on the back of the trailer?

    Has anyone installed the Wolfbox G900 rearview camera with the extended cable onto the back of a trailer? You or someone you know? Did you have any issues with the install itself? Any issues with the equipment? Anything else useful to know? Any tips on making the connection at the hitch...

    Still thinking on that one. I'd like to have something thin that wraps around the backside, for the weather striping to hit. Something white and glue on. I would then put black trim around the outside edge. Any ideas?

    The shower contraption was a bust. After a complicated assembly and gluing process, one of the joints came apart when trying to put the end caps on. The last end cap, of course. I gave up and ordered a Trailwash. I ripped the zipper out of the awning cover on the last trip. They're supposed to...

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    Replaced the front “Anytime” camera and harness. The old harness had gone bad.

    New to Overlanding - Awning Recommendations

    I use Ironman 4x4's 270 degree awning. It seems good enough. It takes practice to effectively package it up. The wall kit is handy, with a door and screened windows. It doesn't get completely walled off though. The front edge, where the convertible roof/wall part is doesn't have velcro to make...

    Denver area

    I'd like to join, if y'all don't mind. I promise I won't call anyone a Greenie. :) (I've joined...kick me if you need to.) I had wondered why there seemed to be so few CO people on OB. Fruita is a bit of a stretch just to meet and get coffee, but I'm interested in Rocky Mtn events.

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    Took off the tire/wheel, brake caliper, and rotor...only to find out the noise maker was a plastic piece in the wheel well and not a rock rubbing the rotor. :persevere:

    My newest contraption for washing. Stole the concept from a YT video, but used what my local home center had for materials and "improved" it to hold a little more water. Volume is ~6.5 gallons. I'm hoping the larger amount of black tube surface area will help it heat faster and more, but I don't...
