I have a slimline on my Silverado, much different application however and I don't have a light bar on it... Have you tried the rack without the wind deflector? I didn't have a wind deflector on mine until I had one custom made. The stock didn't fit with my topper and quite honestly I wasn't...

Thanks! Definitely glad I went that route. Frontrunner rates the rack at 660 lbs, though of course that is only as good as the weight capacity of whatever its mounted to. I forget what the rating on the topper is. I don't intend to put that much weight up there, never have been a fan of...

Finally got the sleeping and storage platform in the bed of the Raven functional. Need to clean up a few edges and figure out exactly how I want to organize gear underneath, but I went out and tested it last weekend and it worked great! Was hoping to get down to Utah for the weekend, but...

Thanks for the reply, that's what I'm looking for, thoughts and ideas! So do you have the panel hooked into the main battery I'm assuming?

Interesting, so what battery do you have the panel connected to? Why did you decide to go away from the dual battery set up?

Yeah, amount of power will not be an issue, I was more worried about the logistics of trying to plug a fridge in inside the cab and having to move the portable system in to the cab too... I am not completely sold on a fridge yet, but trying to keep food cool for a week in Death Valley last...

Working on setting up something similar for the back of my rig, going a little bit more complicated but not too much. I love being able to camp out of the back, really nice to just throw the sleeping bag in the back and be good to go!

Nice looking truck! Ive always liked that color, already looks good but will look even better once the build gets going. What are your plans for it?

Thanks for all the info everyone, definitely have a lot to think over! I like the simplicity of the National Luna kit for my novice level of skill when it comes to these things, but I am second guessing that a lot more now... Some really great options. I have also heard good things about the...

Been checking out your photos on Instagram for awhile and then stumbled on this, great looking rig! Looking forward to seeing what all went into it so far.

Got a few goodies in the mail today! Couple boxes for storage underneath the decking system, but most importantly a little something shiny to make things all official...

They're pretty common here in Montana. In general I think the ones here are pretty accurate, in my experience, the maps match the gating on the roads and it would be pretty hard to get on a closed road, even if you didn't know where you were going. I am sure that is different in some of desert...

I have been pretty much exclusively dispersed camping the last few years, definitely is my preferred way to camp anymore. At least around here, and I am assuming it is pretty similar in most of the national forests, its really easy to find used campsites with fire rings all ready to go. Just...

Thanks, I will have to send him a message! Id love to see pictures when you get them up. Do you have a controller for the isolator in the cab/trailer, or do you manually switch the mode on the isolator if needed?

Nice looking rig! How do you like the light bar low on the bumper? Hope you have an awesome trip to Joshua Tree. Definitely a little jealous, been going through some desert withdrawals recently...

Nice, looking good! Don't think you will be disappointed. Ive been running the KO2s on my rig for a going on a couple years now and I have nothing bad to say about them. Have been fine for daily driving use, and have run them through the desert, mountain tracks, and snow and haven't had any...

Had been noticing that the battery was starting to go out, so I decided it was time for a little upgrade. Picked up an Optima red top and got it installed tonight. Getting to the battery is definitely a PITA in these trucks, this was the first time I had replaced the battery in one of them and...

Thanks! Really have been enjoying mine. The topper is great too, nice to have a protected space to store stuff. Also really great for stealth camping!

@Rolasolar - Thanks! Looks like there is a lot of information on the Traxide website, definitely have some reading! Is there a difference between the SC-80 and USE-160 other than the winch mode? At this point I am planning on mounting the solar panel to my roof rack. It sounds like in this...

Do you have the panel attached to your rig while driving, or do you just store it when on the move and then set it up when you get to camp? I'm sure with my use needs a dual battery will be all I need most of the time. I do park for a few days over the weekends a fair amount though around...
