Well the rtt cherry is busted! Finally got to take the overlander XL out for a spin. Upto visit my Son in Rexburg, from Boise. Spent a few days at the Twin Bridges campground. Not the most off the beaten path but great for a field test. I must have not messed up the install too badly. The...

Thank you for the reply and the pearls of wisdom. I take encouragement by your example and hope to be going strong too for several more years. Maybe we will share one of those beers under an awning overlooking a choice view of Gods country some time.

I have been eye-balling those and the overlanding shower stalls for a while...go big or go home! I’m not sure what make folks think they are made of gold-press-latinum but P.R.I.C.E.Y.!!! I’m planning to build my own. Have welder, will try before I buy... If I had money, I’d be dangerous! Ha...

NOT "as seen on YouTube", for sure! Back story- Had a widow-maker on Valentines day, 2020. im 54. Spent a month in the hospital right as Covid started shutting down everything. Spent the next 5 months at home, "recuperating". Bout broke me mentally. To pass the time, I think I watched...

Last- 3" foam mattress & sheets for the RTT. Next- tinted bed-liner to paint/ rhino-line the truck-bed trailer. Tan/black Before too long- drop-arm axle w/electric brakes... For clearance and...brakes. Lol

Ya, I like to think I'm clever with some of the diy projects I do, then someone comes along and shows what talent looks like... Nicely executed.

Greetings Programs, I am looking for ideas on bracket solutions for upgrading my Smittybilt Overlander XL sliding ladder to a telescoping ladder. The brackets that attach the ladder to the tent are not transferable. They are riveted to the OEM ladder, which isn't a show stopper, but they also...

If this has been said, I missed it. I use one of the square heavy plastic milk crates. They hold a 20lb tank quite nicely. I use a wratchet strap to secure the crate and tank to the tongue rack of my trailer. I I have packed them into the bed of my truck this way as well using other gear...

Man o man, you guys are SERIOUS about your kitchens! Gobi_recon, yours definitely catches the eye! Oh the kitchen is nice too! Ha!

Why travel Alpine when you can Assault the mountain?

I'm probably late to the party but seems like an over-topper roof rack is the answer. I am currently modifying an older steel contractor rack to allow my old ARE topper to fit under it. Granted Im running a 3/4 ton diesel with LOTS of weight capability. There are a few manufactured racks that...

Propane can be tempermental , in my experience, depending on time of year and elevation. White gas has always been my go-to but I like options too. I have one each of the dual fuel Coleman 413 two burner as well as a three burner 426 stoves. I also have the propane adapter so it is very...

These are EBay jacks that scissor 5 in. to 30 in. Comes as a set of 4 with a max load of 5000 lbs each. They do have bolt holes and could be bolted to the frame. They cost about $120-ish. I may decide to mount studs or plates with studs on the frame, then I could remove them or use them for...

The scissor jacks I acquired could not only stabilize the trailer but lift it off the ground of I wanted to change the tires. They are larger versions of the ones smalk cars have to change tires. Since the whole trailer only weighs around 800-1000#, each jack can lift 5000#, im guessing the...

So Im rounding third base on my truckbed trailer camper build. Working on finishing the mods to a contractor rack to put a rtt on top. I tripped over a good deal on 4 scissor jacks that each support 5k lbs. Still debating the merits of one on each corner or two on the rear and one on or near...
