The Official Unofficial Super Pacific X1 Camper Thread

I’m always stoked to drive in the snow, until I’m driving in the snow.

 

LOL!
That's a great explanation.

 

get wildpeaks! I drive snow weekly in winter and have really appreciated that tire.

 

Nice. Those are what I went with.

 

noooooo I was debating getting those. Don’t put me on the fence again lol

 

I put Wildpeaks on first thing when I got my truck. I'm in portland and basically spend my time going from coast to mountain every weekend (for surfing or snowboarding), depending on the season. Wanted something that looked good and performed in rain/snow. Haven't been disappointed yet.

 

yup and they come in a 255 pizza cutter.

 

nooooo don’t tell me that haha!
I’m running 255/85/16 on my MT and was sad they didn’t have em for KO2. Gonna ponder on this

 

Just put down a deposit on the X1. So excited

 

Joining this train...just put my deposit down for an X1 as well! Excited to see people's pictures as they start to get installed.

 

Woooooooo
All aboard

 

Welcome to the wait!

 

Probably a good time to finally buy some bed stiffeners, I guess...

 

And what would be the benefit of adding those? I’m assuming the camper is bolted down to the rails on each side of the bed so the canopy is going to hold everything together. Really don’t see any benefit of adding bed stiffeners unless the canopy was made of fiberglass or wasn’t structurally sound.

 

That's a good point. I was just thinking bed rail weight == stiffener time, without considering that this isn't your typical fiberglass topper.

 

I bought the total chaos stiffeners just as piece of mind. It's a air amount of weight sitting on a composite bed. Whether or not it really matters, I'm not sure, but I'll be happy to know my bed won't bow out over time.

 

Weight on the bed rails pushes down on the bed and that can cause it to bow outward if there is nothing to counteract that force. There is evidence to suggest that any sort of weight can cause this problem but there hasn’t been any sort of scientific testing that I’ve seen to confirm one way or the other.

But stiffeners are relatively cheap and add some good tie down points at a minimum.

 

Glimpse of an OD green just posted on Instagram, albeit not the best angle to show off the color.
