ProForce's Base Camp Build

Swapped out leaf springs, ujoints, and both inner & outter tie rods today

 

Where is this at? Great picture by the way

 

interested to see how you do the solar! I wanna do 2 panels on roof with dual battery in bed of truck. Whats your plan?
@dcsbtaco spotted your truck and sent me some pics to drool over

 

did the exact same thing, have one more semester at sdsu for BA in CJ then I think im gunna give paralegal then law school a shot. worse case CHP or Chula vista PD

 

Nice man I just moved to San Diego. Hoping to attend csusm

 

dude hit me up when ever your in chula area, meet up for a brew

 

I'm in San Marcos, but will do!

 

On board water setup in the works!

 

more pics!!!

 

Ill have to make a video and post it. Basically i have two 2 gallon Rotpax mounted just near those disconnects. I retrofitted the rotopax caps to also have a quick disconnect valve on them with a pickup line on the inside. When its time to use the water, i have 1 line that plugs into either of the rotopax caps and into the input line from the pucture. Then the output has a 20 foot coil hose that pkugs in with a spray nozel at the end. It takes about 10 seconds to set up or take down. No need for a switch since the water pump has a pressure sensor on it and shuts down when 35 psi is reached, or essentially when there is any back pressure. Total cost was $20 for the pump, $10 for new rotopax caps and vents, and about $40 in misc hoses and fittings. Install took less than 1 hour. Video to come

 

In the mean time, new plates cames in
Built 2 Camp

 

truck looks good man

 

Thanks Juan!

 

Also waiting on my 50w solar panel and charge controller to arrive which will go on the roof rack to trickle charge the dual battery system when it's not running. Which also brings me to my pending dual battery setup. Went with Off Grid Engineering dual battery tray with the blue sea ML-ACR and an Odyssey group 25 and 35 battery. Those along with the solar should be more than enough power for all my off grid adventures

 

This was from Memorial day weekend we stayed near Desert Creek camp in nothern NV. Required 6 water crossings to get too and once your there it has a stream between the trucks and the hill its just hard to see here. Theres more on my IG @proforce1

 

Haha i didnt see you. I was up at Harbor Freight and Sports Authority

 

Its basically one 50w flexible panel so its less than 0.1" thick and will absorb and flex from offroading. Itll mount to the Prinsu rack and shouldnt be visible from the ground. Ill use a 10 amp PWM charge controller under the hood and connect directly to the aux battery.

The batteries will be a group 35 Die Hard Platinum and a group 25 Odyssey Extreme (identical batteries just opposite +/- poles) ill be using an Off Grid Engineering dual battery tray to keep both mounted in the factory battery location. I have my K&N intake and Winch control box taking up the passenger side and a Blue Sea Fuse block and circuit breaker on the driver side so i am out of space anywhere else. Since the bed is exposed, im not willing to place the 2nd battery back there, plus, running wires that far causes a loss in current and i want to maximize power and efficiency. Having them next to each other will limit the amount of additional wiring. The battery tray is also setup to hold the Blue Sea ML-ACR on top of it and the control switch will mount to the dash. Winch will be connected to starting battery and fuse block and solor will go to the aux battery as a traditional dual battery setup is wired. If i ever add a fridge, itll go to the aux battery as well.

But of course, ill add plenty of pics as they come.

 

Love it!!!
