Car Camping / Trip Reports / Photos / Buildouts / “Overland” / Expedition Rigs Area (homeless?)

Looks great. I was going to mount my ARB fridge in my bed as well, but i was worried about the compressor sucking up all that dust and failing. I mounted mine in the rear seat (folded down) and attached some hooks so the seat is still fully usable when the fridge is not in there

 

nice, maybe I could use some sorta of filter to help keep the compressor clean.

 

Ill play

 

My latest expedition!!!

It was a treacherous long agonizing trip...but we made it without breaking any parts.

 

Wish I had some garage space like that!

 

Me too! I had to lay in the snow yesterday to work on my taco...

 

That's my small garage too

 

Which one is that? I'm looking at getting a CVT and now you should be able to take some pics for me and answer some questions for me right? I'll send you a pm when I'm in front if a computer.

 

The Mt. Shasta? That's what I have. Bobby is a great guy to do business with and it's a kick ass tent.

 

Yep CVT Mt. Shasta! Love it!!

And yea I'm wiring kit in and on the tent so I can take lots of pics. Just let me know

X2

Bobby is a great guy!! Awesome customer service.

Looks just like the TJM, I think there are three brands that are the same, just can't think of the other one.

 

TJM, CVT, and Tupi or whatever are all the same basic tents. The thickness in the fabric varies a tad.

But I'd go with CVT purely for their customer service. It's unbelievably good.

 

For those of you with the fridge mounted in the bed, does the back end of the truck move around too much, shaking up your frosty beverages? I had thought about mounting mine back there but mounted it inside the cab instead. The back end of my second gen seems to be all over the place when I pick up the speed.

 

I'll let you know after this weekend.

 

Add more weight to the back and it shouldn't move around as much. Mine stays pretty grounded. Well it feels like it follows really well!

 

FOUND THE REMOTE!

Wow. Awesome garage. WOW. Sick setup as well.

 

Thanks man! It's very nice! On both accounts.

 

Looking at your RTT just makes me wish I could get it soon. But I need the re-gear more.

 

Nonsense!!

Regearing is not important haha...jk I need to do that too.

But lllloooovvvvvvveeeeeee the tent

 

So I just got the latest edition of overland journal today, they're saying we can get the long ranger fuel tank in our trucks

For those who don't know it's an Australian company that builds a bolt into factory location 32 gallon fuel tank that uses all the same plugs and wiring so that you don't pull any codes and the Ecu thinks all is perfect. Imagine 700 miles on a tank of gas!

I've got a call in to see if it is indeed true, it was at sema but my understanding has always been it'll only fit a hilux. Narrower frame rails on those apparently. Should know more in a day or two but man, I wouldn't carry any fuel cans if I could run a tank that big.
