Tough to make it in form Fallon of a weeknight but we are excited about a Reno/Northern Nevada OB group. Please keep the thread alive and we'll be read to meet everyone on the trail!

Caddis My $.02, don't over think it. I can get some pics and post them up, but solar isn't all that hard. I run 60W mounted on the roof rack of my trailer. Under normal circumstances (i.e., a decent amount of sun/day) this is enough to keep my battery charged running an ARB fridge and keeping...

crit Beast PW! Beautiful, and functional build, very nice. Any chance you could discuss or toss up some pictures of how you mounted the VIAIR and tanks? Have a compressor and tank sitting in the garage and just can't seem to come up with a mounting solution I like. Still running stock...

I went straight from traditional coolers to refrigerators so can't help with cooler experience but can offer some thoughts to consider - accepting that the cost of a fridge is a steep initial investment. A fridge will typically draw 1/5 - 1/2 the power of a cooler. A good fridge will average...

A few modifications for our latest trip (Madras, OR for the eclipse). Swapped the original 58" roof bars for 66" bars and added 60W of solar to the roof and an ARB 2000x25000 awning with an ARB awning room (awesome - we call it our slide out). 60W of solar looks to be sufficient to keep up...

Thanks for starting the thread. We graduated from a "more typical Overland vehicle" and are also glad to see a community for those who chose the full size path - particularly the PW. I love my 80-series (can't seem to part with it) but 6.4L of V8 awesomeness sure beats the 1FZ-FE (especially...

We just bought the complete CleanWaste Go kit - tent, toilet, carry case, and an initial supply of bags. Case is nice to keep it organized. Probably would have been cheaper to part it out - Cabela's has some decent quick set-up shelters for less than (and probably from the same factory) the...

The shelter really does make all the difference. Changes things from "a place to go" (ok for most of us) to "a bathroom" (meets the wife requirement). I will grant it isn't something I want to set up during a lunch stop on the trail, but with the right quick set-up tent (which I spent a bit...

Beautiful truck. And they say, a happy wife makes for a happy camp :-) No guilt in doing what it takes to get outdoors! I got my wife to accept that a CleanWaste PETT toilet with a shelter is cleaner and more pleasant than anything she'll find in a campground - and a shorter walk. Once she...

I've thought about putting the compressor back there but have been worried about damage, good to hear it is holding up. Chris: Any idea of the WKOR are different spacing on the 3Gen vs 4Gen? Busted a few knuckles trying some test fitting ideas and could not, for the life of me, figure out a...

Good to know, thanks. Was hoping I could get the coax down the c-pillar without affecting the airbags. Guess I have no excuses now to get 'er done. I found the carpet slits but built a wore loom that runs neatly under the door sill. Next project (after the antenna) is figuring out where/how...

Thanks. Struggled for a while trying to figure how out to best mount the larger display. Professionally an ambidextrous button pusher so it works for me on the left. If I'd moved over the D700 I have in my other truck it would have gone in the same place yours is. The permanent roof mount is...

Please forgive the fingerprints. iPad Mini (only one that really fits) in a Ram Mount EZ-Roller mount attached to a 5" arm and anchored with an Arkon Heavy Duty Cup Holder Mount. Figured we could afford to give up one of the 10 cup holders in the front. Lol. If you adjust it just right it...

Head unit: Edge Products A-pillar mount for a diesel programmer, plasti-dipped to match (only comes in beige). Takes a little bit of fab to fit the head unit but it is secure. Radio is mounted to 1/4 plywood then secured under the drivers side rear seat. Running a a mag mount antenna on the...

Don't think I've checked in yet on this thread. 17 PW at our Solar Eclipse campsite in Oregon. Love this truck. Only a few mods so far (other than pinstriping on the first outing!) White Knuckle sliders Yaesu FTM-400 Ham Radio iPad mount BakFlip tonneau Doesn't need much to be super capable...

Thanks.

pm sent. I will take it. John

Ok, I'll say it for those who haven't (yet). A few of us who couldn't make the trip really want to live vicariously. I ran the Mojave road a few years ago (epic trip) and know cell coverage can be spotty... but if you get a signal we'd love to know how it is going... with pictures, of course...

Me, Dad, and my brother ( with families) in the Hualapai Mountains of Arizona. Celebrating my parents 50th wedding anniversary and the first real off road trip (and pinstripes) for the new truck. Yes, Mom and Dad wanted to do a backcountry picnic with the family for their anniversary - but...

Behind the previous rig at Fort Paiute on the Mojave Road. No pix yet behind the new rig.
