Hyland's 2015 TRD Offroad Build w/ Solar

I was up in the attic yesterday and figured I should get a nice updated pic of what’s going on up on the roof.

 

Finally got around to snapping some up to date pics with the camera. Pretty sure the truck is just about done(famous last words, i know). The only thing i'd like to add are some nice headlights, whether they're retrofits, the new Morimotos(depending on reviews), or if I wait for the alpharex lights thats are about a year out.

 

Finally got to escape to NH again this weekend for some trail fun and camping. First time using the Condor and it was wonderful!

 

Having any issues traveling from MA to NH with the whole 'situation'?

 

Nope. I think VT and Maine are the only ones who care but I know people from mass that have gone to both without issue.

 

Heading out on the next trip today after work. Heading to Vermont with some others for some exploring. I haven’t spent any time up there exploring so it’ll all be new stuff for me.

 

Great pics, nice rig- I’m completely jealous!

 

Thanks!

 

Amazing weekend in Vermont this weekend. The leaves are pretty close to peak in the higher elevations. Caught a lot of amazing views and spent hours by the fire which is always nice.

 

Nice shot with just the right amount of depth of field.

 

Thanks! A few more shots from this weekend

 

Tiny bit of work today, the shifter light was burnt out so I replaced it with an LED bulb, and I never wired up the lights on my lightbar switch so I wired those up by tapping into the taillight fuse on the interior fuse block. Tomorrow I'll be putting in a 12V port to the cubby in the bed to plug my diesel heater into when I use it. It'll be more convenient than plugging it in inside the truck.

 

Scene lights are mounted to the rack and wired to a pair of Billet Automotive Buttons.

 

I just purchased a Condor XL for my new truck. It's in LA right now and supposed to arrive in Phoenix today or tomorrow. Any advice for initial setup and adventures? We purchased the height adjustable Yakima Overhaul rack and installed with a retrax pro cover so far.
The set up you have looks great!

 

The first setup will probably take a little bit but once you set it up a couple times you’ll be able to do it really quick.

 

Very cool! I have a similar set up (Yakima overhaul x Tepui hybox) and have been thinking about getting the retrax pro cover to go with it. Only thing holding me back is the off-road weight limit is lower than the weight of the bars and the tent. Were you worried about that? Would love to see a picture if you have one of your set up!

 

Very nice build. Always nice to see one of these threads where the OP has some photo taking skills as well. Makes the whole thing better.

 

Thanks! I’ve been slacking big time lately when it comes to taking pics. Once the snow starts to fall I’ll probably be motivated

 

I like your switch setup on the console next to the cup holder. That’s a sweet setup!
