"SB"... Short Bed?

 

yeah sorry - could have been clearer.

 

I've since cleaned this up a lot by putting it all in a wiring loom and zip-typing it to these square mounts for a very seamless look

 

What suspension did you upgrade to?

 

Did you ever get an answer?

 

Nice job

 

No worries at all, just making sure I understood your reply. I am looking at the Martin front cab rack and it looks solid.

 

thanks bud! looks great

 

subbing to this thread so i can read through it over the next few months while my GFC is being built. y'all got some nifty ideas in here.

 

I am in Woodside, just off 280/Woodside road. I have a V1 on my 2012 AC.

Cheers,
Dom

 

Just got a gfc camper for my dcsb 3rd gen. Can some of you post how you're running the wires into the bed for things such as lighting and power? I have some usb and cigarette plugs on my small cubby and a switch panel and aux fuse block behind my large cubby in the bed.

Just trying to see how you guys ran the actual wires into the bed of the truck.

Also, If you have any pictures on how you ran the wires up to the tent area. I'm hoping to run wires up for lighting and wires up for some usb ports in the tent area.

 

I took the easy but more expensive way out..... just ran the cables from the starter battery and the solar cables through a small hole by the 120v outlet to the DC25 and then I run everything off this.... The fridge was added later along with some interior lights... picture was taken during the fitting process

 

How are you liking those bed drawers? what size did you get?
Really digging your set up. I'm having second thoughts about running my 2nd battery under the hood instead of the bed. To lazy to change it up now...lol

 

I'm loving this set up... really glad i went with it over the Decked system.... I have the 1300mm one which fits perfectly in between the wheel wells and goes all the way back to the wall... it also allows me to access the twin ARB compressor that I've got mounted in the driver's cubby hole. I replaced the drawer top with a full width piece for a more completed look not long after this photo was taken and is what you see in the first photo

 

how heavy are those boxes?

 

Does the top of the drawers sit level with the top of the wheel well inside the bed when you put the board across?

 

About 195 pounds….. the Decked system is about 205 pounds

 

The wood platform sits about an inch higher than the wheel well which worked out perfectly as I was able to put a piece of 53x1x1 square aluminum tubing on both sides on the ridge and it’s a perfect fit and supports all the weight very well spread across 6 ribs if you include the ones on the drawer itself

awesome because it still allows me full length pass through for longer stuff such as poles and camp chairs and whatnot

 

Finally got the rear view camera installed.

 

Looks great!
