Ontario BS Thread

@Manfred wanted it, and I have been delaying him all winter.

So yes it is going to be on the way to him, soon. With the template for the snorkle, that I kept for some reason. All the templates.

 

Sorry I only have my cert in CAD (cardboard assisted design)







*Edit*
Sorry had to prove my cert I know there are doubters I am fully certified.

 

Famous last words lol.

The OEM calipers are cast iron and heavy AF. I think the StopTech caliper is aluminum? If so it would be way lighter.

 

I have a rubber template in hamilton. Just need to hit home depot and make new ones. Its all yours after if you want it

 

HEY, I'M FROM HAMILTON TOO!
this will make life easy


also i got a sweet meetup acronym for us Hamilton guys;

SOB-A-LTTL (Southern Ontario But A Little To The Left)
Our wallet cries a little each time we spend money on the truck and there isn't anywhere near us to go off roading

 

hard to tell but best i got. the area around the bolts where the plate mounted looks alot worse in person. looking for a new solution. flip up fairlead mount plate holder i think will be the ticket.

 

Did you model the lid opening swing space in cardboard too?

 

if that is your camper, please give details.....

 

It fit's even better than I hoped for.

Exactly

@honkonbobo give us the info's with many of the pic's

I would love to see the inside with it setup

 

it is indeed my camper. i dont have any really good pics of the inside but you can check it out in Ardbeg end of May. Its a Four Wheel Camper Eagle shell model so its pretty basic inside but its light and slightly less small haha. solar, AGM battery, fridge, maxxair fan, queen bed... i am 6ft4in and can stand up straight in it popped up. i just picked up an ARB awning for it this week.

i thought it might make me the butt of alot of overlanding jokes with the Tacomaworld crew... at least til i went inside out of the rain, grabbed a beer out of the fridge and chilled out on the couch...

 

people asked wtf is going on with the rear bumper... its an SOS concepts off road bumper with a swing gate w/jerry can holders on it and my bike rack bolted to it.

 

I want one, but they are so heavy....

Very nice!

I will definitely be checking it out in Ardbeg.

Being 6'3", I am interested in things that actually fit me.

 

I could make an Autocad drawing ,,,,,But I would need the template ,, but if I had the template I guess I wouldn't need the autocad drawing ,,

 

Per the name plate on the camper it’s 530lbs without the solar system and you can subtract the weight of the tailgate from that. I am sure a bed rack and RTT is lighter but I don’t know how much.

 

Very nice setup! Considering that is not heavy at all! My old cap setup with rtt was about that alone. Very excited to someday see this in person. Especially with the current circumstances of my current cap....

 

ah but here's what we can do, with the template we can make the CAD drawings and send them to everyone else

 

That’s pretty light, from the talks to reps at overland show last fall I was told they weight at least 750lbs bare bones. I guess they make them lighter now.

 

I think you just need a full size and camper then tow trail rig
