Not today, but lots of things going on over here.

Took the roof top tent off my Xterra, and put it on my wife's.



I also built the driver's side rack on the trailer, and got a jerry can mounted on it. I'm planning to start building the diesel heater box in october, and having it finished in time for winter camping.



Finally, I also got the fridge box PMF'd, and ready to go for a week long trip starting on the 13th.



Some other things I'm working on.....Getting the entertainment setup put together and configured. I have everything I need (other than an HDMI splitter box), just need to get it in the trailer, and get the screen mounted. I'll be working on that this weekend.

I also finally got my water tank sensor mounted to the tank. I just need to relocate the sensor module interface, and hook it up, and calibrate it to show me the water level. I'm going to hopefully get that done tonight.

Ironman 4x4 US Nomad 1300. It's been great. We needed something that could fit two adults and a child. It's a bit tight, but we fit!

I just finished installing a new fly on our Yakima RTT...lots of UV and high winds totally trashed the old one which ended its life looking like a patchwork quilt.

Looking forward to booking outta the oven we live...and heading into the hills for the Autumn.

Started the sheet metal in the truck bed. Needed a switch panel in the back by the door. Got work the next few days so it will sit for a hot minute.

I have really liked this solution of a rear switch panel. The work flow from the rear of the truck just makes a lot of sense when camping or airing up. Nice work! This is my panel and air chuck. The panel controls camp lights, awning light power, tent power and fridge plugs.media.jpg

After working on building an overland trailer for my FJ, now getting everything done on the inside of the trailer. Just got the Redarc battery management system in place. Next is to get the duel batteries in place and locked down.

Yup. That's how you do things right. Nice work.
I'm headed that way but it's going to take a minute. Ordered some buss bars and distribution blocks and picked up more wire today.
Thanks. Appreciate that.
