Despite all the step-ups and jarring I put my truck through in Moab the TruckVault and CargoGlide were solid the whole time!


It's times like this that I am sure glad I run All-Pro armor and suspension!

 

Does your fridge sit on top of the cargo glide or is your cargo glide a custom shape?

 

I have the fridge mounted to the CargoGlide using the ARB mount kit.

The CargoGlide is a custom size though because I have the TruckVault sitting in-between the fenders I wanted to maximize the deck of the CargoGlide and extended it as much as I could. Probably around 4-6" wider than a standard one that sits in-between the fenders would be.

CargoGlide is awesome to work with and they will make custom sizes for you.

I of course had to twist up the trailer on some trails.

The All-Pro suspension simply kicks ass EVEN with the trailer attached!

This truck looks amazing. Sub'd for future updates.

 

Sean- Great meeting you last week. Let me know the next time your in cali

 

Love this look, nicely done!

 

Gotcha, it looked like the fridge was really short so i wondered if there was a cut out and the fridge was sitting on something lower.

How much does all that weigh? Cargo Glide and Truck vault? It doesn't look like the truck sags at all but seems like it would be pretty heavy.

 

Ditto! I am planning on heading out that way for the next American Adventurist Rendezvous

I have the 63qt ARB fridge which is wider and shorter compared to the more common 50qt which is taller and thinner.

The TruckVault and CargoGlide together add a little over 300lbs. Well worth it in my opinion. It's just like having 2 hitchhikers sitting in the bed lol I have no sag even when my trailer is attached. These All-Pro Expo springs are flipping amazing! They are made to carry a load and ride extremely nice. Highly recommend them!

 

Making the All-Pro long travel suspension work a little bit.

 

I was just going to get my spring pack re-arched after having my AAL installed. Might need to go all out and just get the expedition leaf pack.

 

The all pro expo leaf packs are sweet. Had damn near 1/2 ton in the bed the other day. Was riding level

 

Sean...the pics are amazing! Man, that's beautiful country! That's the country I fight to protect!! Semper Fi!

 

That turned out perfect. Was it hard to do? Your build is my inspiration. Thanks for all the effort.

 

Thanks bro! It will never be done lol I always see little things that others have done that get added to my list.

I wish I could take all the credit on making this cover work but really all I did was get the fabric and tell the canvas shop exactly what I wanted. They delivered flawlessly. I was charged for 3 hours of labor. I'm sure if you use a more standard material the time would be reduced though because my canvas was an old military tent it required a little more manipulating.

 

I found another shot from the top of the PackRack custom military canvas cover.



The FrontRunner SlimLine2 roof rack is making an appearance here as well with the Ski/Snowboard attachment that I'm using for my G*Loomis fishing pole and the FrontRunner Sand Lizard Rescue Tracks are mounted nice and flush on the rack as well. Absolutely love this set-up!!

 

How do you have the truckvault bolted down? I'm building something like the truck vault and have been debating on how to go about securing the box.

 

Nice truck man! Also looked at your trailer build.... that's a sweet setup!

 

Most bad ass truck on this forum. Fact.
