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

Thanks i think so too @ROK-NJA and off grid Engineering are doing an awesome job on it and its looking a lot better then what it looked like when i left it with him

 

Is that a strut tower brace?!???

 

Yes it is but those are not struts. They are 12 inch coil overs.

 

Well... coloquially speaking

 

Hahah you are fine i was just poking at the fact its because im solid axled up there

 

Truck in its current state. Im about mid build. Trying to be done by the end of the year.

Wanting to go on some expeditions. Any rated R groups?

 

Rated XXX here, mostly.

You'll never be "done". Between the flow of information here, the people and institutions that you will come across, and the ideas that cross your mind just by exploring...

...you, too, will have bones broken by the leprechaun at the pot of gold when you can no longer pay your debts.

If you ever end up in or decide to go to Colorado:

Im in colorado pretty often climbing. If im out there during a meet i will deff go. Im actually On my way! Home from colorado right now to install my suspension. Hopefully my bumper/winch will arrive while im doing it.

 

Who likes Expo rigs? Had a little meet with a few rigs... Saw all types of travel rigs, some from the past, some from the future...

Anyone know where/if you can buy replacement side windows for a leer shell? I'd like to switch to a Windoor on my driver side.

Leer 100xr if that matters

 

Windoors are awesome! Not sure if you can switch though..

 

I realize it has probably been discussed here a hundred times but does anyone have a good DIY roof rack mounted shower links. I looking at the 4"ish PVC pipe options and would love some advice before getting started!

 

I have a SnugTop and the dealer said installing windoors later on wouldn't be practical. IIRC he said windoors are slightly smaller, but it was something about fitment. Don't know if that transfers to Leers.

ETA:
I wish I had gotten at least one windoor.

 

Vented Windoors are the best!

 

Ditto. I talked to a local shell installer and they said they couldn't install a Windsor after the sale. Might be able to do it yourself though

 

We took the camper out on it's maiden shakedown run. It was just a campground but at least we got it out there already planning another trip.

 

Gearing up for a camping trip up to kings canyon/Yosemite/mammoth so a cooler upgrade was in order. Goodbye money.

How far out does that bedslide actually come?

 

This is full extension. I think its 80%. Supposedly can have 1000lbs on it fully extended too. Ive had maybe 300.

 

Considering getting one. I have real difficulty climbing into the back of my truck to get things out of the bed.
