Overland Build 2020 TRD

Just about finished with my overland build. Just wanted to show it off.

Leveling kit or lift to finish it off?

 

Nice looking build! I wouldn't touch the front without lifting the back. With how that is sitting in rear you've got to be close to your bumpstops. And if you open that can of worms, next thing you know you're going to be putting 35's on, bumpers, gears, skids. Quit now while you're ahead. You've only got one post, get out of here before it's too late!!!

 

Or just have a really good "do I actually NEED it" filter for everything you read!

 

Step one: stop in your tracks
Step two: walk back slowly
Step three: close the door behind you
Step four: hide your wallet for safe measure

 

I removed that filter day one for better performance.

 

What panels are those and what’s your electrical setup?

 

The solar panel is from Renogy. It’s the 160 watt flexible panel.

I have 2 200 amp hr Pure Gel batteries. Also from renogy.

I’m using this charge controller https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.re...50a-dc-dc-on-board-battery-charger-with-mppt/

 

Firestone airbags and daystar cradle in back and call it a day.

 

Great looking truck! Eventually, I would like to something very similar! How you liking your ARE Overland topper? Looking to get that with the windoors as well.

 

So far so good. I had to add some weather stripping on the back window to cover some gaps with tailgate. (Could have been the install) I did a leak test when I got it and power washed it. There were some small leaks on both side windoors when it was power washed. No leaks however, driving through normal rain showers. From the research I did prior, I think just about all shells have a few leaks that need taken care of.

It’s a Kelty 20 degree bag.

 

Got ya and thanks for the reply. Yeah that sucks about the leaks but, like you said, I think all toppers will have a few imperfections to them. The 2nd and 3rd gen Tacomas dont have the easiest bed to work with. Also, is that a Columbia sleeping bag I see?

 

it’s a Kelty sleeping bag.

 

Ahhhh. Looks just like my Columbia 35*F sleeping literally the same exact colors.

Also sorry edited my original post since I saw you reply.

 

Forgot to add a picture of my guest room/home office.
