GoFastCamper GFC Mods, Tips, and Tricks thread.

I actually looked into composite materials (ABS, HDPE...ect) however none of them where strong enough so I went with the aluminum. I have a dozen or so models now for V1 and V2 GFCs. The website will be up soon as well.
For now I am working through the GFC forum. https://forum.gofastcampers.com/t/ruff-road-designs-molle-panels/13119/18

*This panels fits the ZR2 and Tacoma but pretend this is a tacoma haha

 

Sweet! I will hit you up there.

 

Hah, yup, sold the GFC… went to a good home

 

Nice. I really like my AluCab setup. Good choice.

 

This is so nice! Goals for sure

 

dont suppose anyone is driving from socal (San Diego) to SLC that could take some wheels (no tires) for me......?

 

Anyone figured out a way to mount a hi-lift along the GFC rails by chance?

Just trying to see what options may be out there.

 

I've had my GFC since February and personally I would be worried about the T slots in the extrusion being up to the task of a hi-lift. They just don't seem that burly to me, though maybe I'm underestimating what you can hang off of them.

 

yeah that's definitely a valid concern. they aren't exactly robust. we could both be wrong though.

 

I actually sold my hi-lift on my trip coming back from Montana. Drove it around for 4 years, and I dont think I used it once. Plus its one of those things that everyone has. Ill let someone else carry one

I still have a jackstand/bottle jack combo, but I was building my truck for crawling first, so it has almost more travel than a hi-lift can handle. The bottle jack can get my wheels off the ground to change tires, so thats all I need.

 

Exactly. Bottle jack under the axle or a-arm I trust a lot more than a hi lift. Same, I never got a hi lift. People I know that have gotten one, never used.

 

You can use it as a winch too.

 

First test trip out with the gfc, wife and baby. Super glad I bought a exped mattress to go on top of the foam. Actually had a pretty decent night sleep. Condensation is going to be a problem so looks like I’m going to be putting a fan in. I have Matt geckos dual light kit to install but haven’t yet. We def need lighting in the camper. I want to run a couple usb plugs up there as well.

here’s a pic, we’re just camping at a campsite next to our in-laws

 

I picked up a little Adventuridge tent fan/light at Aldi's for cheap. Remote control, effective fan that is super quiet. The light does bright, dim, yellow led's. Came with a clip - clip to ceiling strap & forget it.

Any recommendations for a great LED dimmer? the little push-button thing dims by like maybe 10%, and currently there's more light in my tent than a surgical suite! May have to pull some of the light out!

 

Wagan Tech have some nice hanging lights. There are also single LED lights that fold up nice soft light.

 

Anyone having problems with their V2?

Sold my gfc v1 and now I kinda miss it.

 

I read about some early lock issues on the V2. But since has been resolved.

 

None at all. I love the thing. The convivence of how quick your set up and camping is unbeatable.

 

Well all payed up. Install date of Aug 26th at 9am. So now the mods for this thing is starting. Glad I found this money pit of a thread. Your guys builds all look great! Thanks for the inspiration.
