Cavalry Blue Turd-Pro

Archive Hammer Hanger install, as well as Alcan Leaf Packs. These support my ridiculous added weight, at 3.5." This gives me 2.75-3.0" FULLY loaded down with all passengers and gear. 3.5" @ 1400LB.

 

I couldn't find a table that would work on my tire carrier, so I decided to make my own.... The things you can do with an Amazon Prime account...

Got it fully mounted up, then pulled it off and sent it for powder coating.

 

The dual battery kit from Genesis....... my lord...... Ran my Dometic CFX3-75DZ for 4 straight days without a single voltage warning. Sure would be nice if my damn Dometic slide would ship someday.... -____-

 

Yea.... Am I the only one bugged by cherry red? Not cool with a blue truck.. Let's fix that.

 

Got my exhaust re-routed finally so that I can fit my incoming transfer skid, pretty decent job by a local shop.

 

AND FINALLY! Here is how were sitting today and what it is all about... Getting the whole family crew out as much as often as we can.. A lot more coming..

It looks like alot but the entire truck bed is left empty for the dogs, 3 roam cases on top, one being food and clothes, and 3 paddle boards.

Tahoe NF, Memorial Day 2021

 

Wow. Very impressive build, good look and utility, mods to get you and the family out into nature.

 

How do you run ur dometic when ur truck is off? I was thinking about a dual battery but the bed plug in shuts off when I turn off the truck.

 

Nice build. Following

 

So I have the actual dometic plug (https://www.dometic.com/en-us/food-and-beverage/coolers/accessories/dometic-hwk-dc-222471) That is of course on a relay, and a switch. I have that switch to where it works with the truck off. My fridge, tent power, arb, and radio all work without the truck being on.

 

Well, I was on the Rubicon with a friend all weekend, my end goal.... It was pretty motivating to continue moving forward with the truck. Got out this weekend on some trails around Reno, NV and went for the biggest rocks I could find. I was impressed at just how great the truck did but it didn't go without damage. First impact I took to my RCI diff slider bent the F**King thing into my third member. the bolts were happily grinding away at the shaft. Only trail fix was to go ahead and just use a strap to temporarily bend it away. After seeing how it failed, its quite a stupid design.

 

Also, even with caster at +3.9, and 33's... There isn't enough fender clearance, so here goes nothin....... Was gonna happen sooner or later.

I hope to have this all cut up, and painted and ready before this weekend. Had to order new fender clips, door edge trim, and fender flare tape. I plan on dealing with no fenders for probably 2 weeks, I'm going to do the back as well, but the front is priority one.

The black smudges are paint, I painted the fender flare clips so that I can dont cut any of that all, I want it to still sit on there full strength, and symmetrical. As far as the front bumper, I'm going to have to cut about 2" out of the tube, and plastic cap it for now. Someone in Reno wanna weld some caps on it for me??? I love you long time...

 

Yikes! Great build man.

 

What’s this propane tank holder? I’m going to be putting the same ATH Fab rear bumper on soon, just waiting for it to come back from powder coat. Also going to be adding a little fold down table like you did

Seems like we’ve got a similar build happening, but you’re a month or two ahead of me.

 

Insane build. Love it. I'm slowly working on mine as well. Very motivating.

 

This is actually a great idea! I didn’t even think of that!

 

You will be ecstatic with that ATH, are you picking it up local? If you want any info the table specifics just hit me up. The propane holder is a locking mount from Expedition Essentials, holds an 11LB bottle, or a 5LB with adapter.

 

Thanks!

I drove out to Gardnerville and picked it up a couple weeks ago. Now it's at a powder coat shop here in Sacramento area.

 

You fit four people in that tent? How is it? Looking to upsize now that we have a kid, but 56" doesn't seem wide enough...

 

It’s not at all, we have done all 4 once, and it was crammed. My kids currently sleep in their own separate tent, but the next trip we are just going to put them in the annex. It’s bigger then their tent anyways.
