I had to cancel my White Rim trip last minute, so Taylor campsite should be open for Sept 9th and White Crack for Sept 10th. Not sure how long it will take for them to show up as available on the recreation.gov site. Hopefully someone will be able to snag them and have a nice weekend trip!
Thanks for sharing. I spent my early childhood in AR and my most of my family still lives in southwest AR. I need to make a point to explore the Ozarks when I go back to visit.
Of course, the BedRug had to be pulled back again to run the tubing up and into the bed of the truck.
The pressure control unit had to be tapped into the ARB compressor harness so that it turns on when the compressor does. For this I removed the pin from the connector and spliced the new...
A couple of week ago I was also able to finish up the on board air system with an ARB Air Compressor Pressure Control system. If you are unfamiliar with ARB Pressure Control system, it allows you to configure preset tire air pressures in an app and then inflate or deflate your tires by simply...
You can also see the Icky Concepts bulkhead MOLLE panel installed in some of the above photos. It was kind of a pain in the ass to install with the BedRug and Smart Cap already on the truck. I had to pull the BedRug away from the bulkhead so that I could install the riv-nuts.
The biggest...
I also got some more bed modifications done. First up was the create for Maximus. I made this from a hog/cattle panel that my dad had laying around his property.
Once it was all cut to shape and size, I dropped it off at a buddies business to be powder coated as it was too large for me...
I managed to get a few more things done on the build over the last several weeks...
The Tread Pros are now mounted to the top of the RSI SmartCap next to the solar panel.
I also "fab'd" up a curved pressure washer wand. Not it is really easy to wash all the mud and dried dirt from under the...
I just had to cancel my reservations for Taylor on Sept 3rd and White Crack on Sept 4th. I'm not sure when they will show back up on Recreation.gov, but they are open for someone else to grab.
Every overland build needs an on board air system of some type, so I picked up an ARB twin compressor for those duties. Phase 1 of the system consisted of mounting the compressor in the passenger side RSI half bin and routing the cables and wires to the engine bay.
The wiring runs through...
With some electronics installed and more planned for the future, it was time to address controlling them. For this I went with the Switch Pros eight switch unit. SDHQ makes a very nice 3D printed replacement panel for the Power Wagon that cleanly mounts the control panel just to the left of...
On the other side of the truck is where I'm installing all of my WeBoost cell signal booster at. This system has a fairly large module and rather small cable connections, so I decided to install it in the rear in-floor cubby on the passenger's side. The cubby is made of three parts. First is...
The next area to address was Communications.
Up top I'm using a mix of some 67 Designs parts I had on hand and the Bullet Point RubiGrid for the phone holders. BP's shortest arm worked well for the inReach mini. To power these I used a 12v to USB socket adaptor and bought some short...
One of the mods waiting to be installed in the bed is a Dometic fridge and slide. I am also going to be installing some lighting in there to make things easier at night. All of this means I needed some type of power back there. Instead of adding more load to the trucks battery, I mounted a...
The next phase in bed build out was installing a driver's side Icky Concept MOLLE panel. I've ran MOLLE panels from other companies in the past, but the Icky panels are by far the beefiest panels I've had. The press brake bends in them really add to their rigidity.
The one downside to them...
Continuing with the bed of the truck, I installed a BedRug Classic. I had looked at the BEDRUG line of products online back in my Jeep days, but I'd never seen one in person. Now that I have one in the PW, I really don't know why I never got around to installing these in the Jeeps. This thing...
And here it is installed on the truck.
The window surrounds are very beefy. In fact, the windows as whole are very nice.
The half bins are much more stable then I thought they were going to be as well.
Next up is the RSI SmartCap.
The build and install was pretty straight forward and there were just two "tricky" parts on assembling it. Both were on the rear panel where getting the tabs to align with the slots was kind of a pain. One person had to lift up on the rear panel and at the same...
