MJ's build (yes finally finding time to do this)

Nice! Glad that worked out. I’ll pass the thanks to @Bentrodder for the original hookup

 

I used to have this table that I hadn’t used in a long time. I decided to chop it in half and use the grated side like one of those Tailgater Tire Tables but without the $140 price tag. Works great on the side of the camper where my water outlet is (washing dishes etc). I had a buddy weld a small piece of metal to brace it (behind the tire).


Also upgraded the water output with a quick connect. I have a connection for a hose + sprayer (on momentarily - ideal for dishes) and another one for the shower (continuous on/off)


And a close up of the shovel mount I made with scrap aluminum. It attaches to the same L-track used for the Maxtrax. After a couple of trips, the shovel hardly moves at all, but more importantly, it doesn’t touch the camper.

 

Made a different mount for the “baby monitor” camera. Also recycled material, but it’s a lot smaller and I can keep it up there with the top down.


Worked out awesome this past weekend


More pics of the weekend

 

Damn dude, did you build that yourself too? What kind of slides are those??m

 

Yup. Just used recycled plywood and the slides were super cheap from Lee Valley (Canada so even cheaper than what’s listed after you convert)

Thanks man! These are perfect!

 

Forgot to post pics from the last trip when we picked out our xmas tree 11/20-11/22

 

Great update. Thanks!

 

More snow camping a couple weekends ago. We managed to find one spot in the forest with no snow or ice. Right next to a frozen river. Was beautiful







Heater FTW




Leaving camp

 

Love it! Love that your family joins. Hoping to have a similar set up sometime in the future. Best wishes to you and keep sharing the adventures!

 

Thanks!

 

Got the idea from @JerryW - These should help with stowing away the sleeping platform. 3D printed wedges with a skateboard bearings. Thanks @Iggy



Also changed up the pass through area since the baby is now a little older and more capable. The tarp was good for the summer, plus it blocked out light, but it also blocked the heater from warming us up now that it’s winter. ($14)


The baby gate kinda worked, but it was kind of a pain hopping over to get in/out of bed when the baby was asleep. Plus now she can climb over it. ($26)


Now we’re going to try a cargo net from a Jeep and carabiners to fasten. I also have a 2x10 board which is similar to the bed extension that Vagabond sells. This was just cheaper. I gotta say, the bed extension also works well as an extra shelf tucked up against the back window. ($27 cargo net, $13 lumber)

 

randomly stumbled apon this thread the truck looks great man and i never thought id see anyone run wider then a +2 fender without long travel looks good thou man

 

Yea so... about that...

 

haha went lt i see

 

Got a smoking deal on an All Pro +2 long travel kit with Foxes. Installed it over the summer and was finally able to take the truck out a few weeks ago to get a Christmas tree.

 

Some other old mods I forgot to post:

6lb Worthington aluminum propane tank w/ Sure Marine Service mount and single AT Overland jerry can aluminum holder.


And switched out the old ARB 48” awning for a 55” CVT Hybrid Series awning so I can add walls to it. I figure now with 2 kids we’ll quickly outgrow our set up and this can eventually be where the kiddos camp.
