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

    Yep, the same stuff you used. Both the 3/4” angle and the flat. I’ll have to use generous silicone at some angles but I think it will work fine.

    Got it skinned! I was sweating this, as I'd never installed filon or really used contact adhesive like this before. When I had talked to my friend who recently did it, he made it sound like kind of a frantic process. It really wasn't but you can't misplace anything. I misplaced one piece and...

    Use of MAXTRAX boards other than recovery

    Haven't actually yet, but I intend on using my cheaper boards on the ground at the doors to my squaredrop camper. Upside down.

    My DIY offroad utility (base camp) trailer

    I'm certainly no vehicular enguneer, so take this for what it's worth. I don't think it matters much on a leaf spring or link suspension, but with your trailing arms, I think you want them angled forward at the bottom, kind of like the pic below. Or straight up and down. Just not angled aft, I...

    I didn't really know anything about articulating hitches when I bought the Lock N Roll hitch. We'll see how it does. The Max looks pretty frickin' beefy.

    YOUR Help is needed, Sav trails and Moab.....

    Done. Thank you! And ditto to joining and supporting BRC. They've recently gone through management changes for the better and are your legislative voice and lobbyists for these things.

    Also... no one is going to see pictures of the fantastic mess of wiring that is the current state of the camper. I've built too many things to the point of completely clean and pretty wiring, only to find something to pull apart and fix. So this time I wired it all up and tested it, wires all...

    I thought RTT's could keep all the bedding in it! That would be a bummer. Are there any RTT's that let you keep the bedding in it? We thought about getting one on top of the camper for the kids. To help reduce setup time of their stuff, we picked up a couple of instant pop-ups. It's going to...

    I would say "jack away" but some people might take that the wrong way. lol Quick setup has always been one of my goals. And I think you can get that with a RTT (I've never used one though) but we live in an area that can see stupid high winds and I kind of dread getting caught in that, just to...

    You may skip. Or waddle. Maybe saunter.

    My DIY offroad utility (base camp) trailer

    It does. Thank you! I was afraid mine was going to get upwards of 2,500 lbs fully loaded, but I'm not so concerned now.

    Thanks! I did get the wall kit. Haven't tried it yet though. But with that big opening there at the galley, not sure how bug proof it will get... I bet that's nice.

    I roughed in the awning, just to see how it would work. Seems to be pretty good but need to figure out a gutter above the galley. There doesn't seem to be much for premade options out there, but some tarp and velcro would likely suffice.

    GMRS/FRS Programming

    This is all a little intimidating... I just got my FRN and GMRS callsign and ordered some radios. Going to just figure it out as I go but this sure sounds complicated.

    Reaver's Squaredrop Camper Build!!

    Any reason you can't just bolt it directly to the main wall? Using enough bolts and fender washers maybe?
