Zam15's Adventure Build

Upgrade on the truck today. New lowers with 1" uni-ball conversation. Steering is super tight, and the front end is significantly stronger! Removed a good amount of play. Will also be much easier and cheaper modifying the LBJ every time to work with the heim steering. Same size as the UCA

 

Hobo shade V3!

Two 9' that are about the same in square footage as two full size ARB awnings

 

The great escape!

 

After years of floating ideas on hot water for the ring, I pulled the trigger on a tankless water heater instead of a heat exchanger with engine coolant. It works flawlessly! No more cold dishwashing or showers! ️

Easily taps into my propane and water tank. Ready for the next field test!

 

Weekend out exploring the local mountains!

 

Trying dumb things so you don't have to! Worked better in my head, a pain to setup but it would sure beat mosquito bites.

Nice to have a 9' safe area. Also looking at pop-up shelters too

 

Brilliant and simple.

 

Quick local escape from the heat!

 

Camp setup is pretty much dialed in to where I want it, camp shower, bug net, propane fire pit all worked great on the trip!

 

Is that San Onofre State Beach? I love that truck, very impressed.

 

No this was Carlsbad SB. But I still love San Onofre as one of my OG rug rat beach bum camp sites

 

Reward - Tight squeeze

 

Beastt Truck Man!! @Zam15

 

Trucks been down for a little getting some front end rework done after someone decided to fender bender me. Thankful they could get me in once again and did some good work on her!


Will be happy to have her back on the road with a fresh facelift! Just need to snag a few more pods! DD+Baja make a good combo.

 

Final pods are in! Getting close!

 

Truck has been back up and running around for a bit. Still need to try everything out in the field!

 

So... terrible or brilliant idea?

Combined fire pit, grill, stove, pizza oven into one small package!

Had a fire pit, wanted a pizza oven, carrying a stove has can be a pain.

So I picked up a cheap 14" charcoal grill, stole the lid and grate, made some slight modification and snagged a pizza stone! May add a wok or skillet if all works well.

I'll let you know..

 

Do you have any photo's at night with your lights on?

 

None yet, need to get out to the desert for real testing. But Jesus they are bright...

Did make it out for some camping this weekend however was a nice outing, hope to get even more soon.

Keeping cool in the mid-day heat!


Fire pit stove trials are also going great! Well after I misjudged the pizza stone heat up time on the first go, so that one went to the dark side.. need a laser thermometer.

But that's why I brought two! 2nd BBQ chicken Pizza was great! Hope to dial it in more.

Now even more exciting about the 15" wok/skillet I snagged just before the trip for $20, bomb breakfast, BLTs, steak! Fell like I can ditch the stove for most trips now.

 

Lens swapped the center pods from Yellow Combo to SAE Driving, should allow me to legally tap them into the high beam and use them on road when needed. Should help augment the headlights on wide open roads. The high beam on the HID projectors are kind of meh. Also the screws Diode Dynamics use strip way too easy, so there kind of like this forever now lol



Leg day! Playing around with the springs rates and think it's finally dialed in with the normal trip load.
