When I purchased my truck in March of 2022 there were few options at that point and it does the job but the ride quality did suffer. If someone is just cruising forest roads this lift is good enough, but it will be on the harsh side as the stock shocks can’t keep up. My previous build was a...

Such an amazing weekend at Hells Canyon Idaho

I installed my 5lb propane mount and given the clearance of my KB Voodoo rack I placed it to the side of the slide out cargo tray underneath. It’s plumbed in and I just need to open the valve to run my heater, or remove it for my fire pit if there’s a regional fire ban in the summer. 5lb mount...

I added SDHQ ABS Guards. Simple mod that can save a lot of headache and repair if you off road. They protect the sensor from a broken branch or something catching the loop and ripping the sensor wire out which would cause a lot of problems trying to drive the truck. They don’t cost too much for...

I added solid LED’s to my 270 awning, used a project box for my electrical junction box, and bought a dimmable switch that is fully waterproof. I put the LED’s on every other support bar so it wasn’t too much, it is camping after all……ha I placed carpet tiles on my iKamper base, helps with...

I installed an X2 AGM battery to replace my stock 75AH battery with 92AH. The X2 Group 94R fits nicely as a direct replacement and has 81AH 159 reserve minutes of capacity. I opted for the larger X2 27F which has 92AH and 190 reserve minutes of capacity. The 94R is 7.4” (about stock) in height...

Tent Heater- the full diy write up Propex Heater Build to iKamper Roof Top Tent Bought a nice 5lb propane tank mount for my rack off Etsy for my next project because now that my wife and I live up in North Idaho we decided to invest in heat for our RTT set up because it gets cold! I decided on...

Deer damage repaired. Since they were painting I had the mustache surround replaced with a paint matched version.

With my 3”+ lift in the rear I purchased DR KDSS track bar relocation kit. Pretty easy bolt on that allows the pan bar to flatten out so when the rear suspension cycles, it doesn’t cause bump steer. https://drkdss.com/products/copy-of-botck-bolt-on-trackbar-correction-kit-tundra The kit came...

I put on 37’s and used one of my 35’s as a spare. A friend gave me an older Lexus 17” wheel and I mounted it up today. The spare is a 265/70R18 at 32.6” which is a long way from 37”, so I figured my 315/70R17 (34.4”) is closer. A 37 will not fit under the 5.5’ bed. I mounted up a 35 and it...

I installed Cascadia 4x4’s 75W hood solar panel. I placed it right on top of my hood decal and I’m happy with how it came out. The install is straightforward as outlined by Cascadia and there’s plenty of videos on it. I am hopeful that it will do a nice job topping off the battery as my fridge...

Stupid Deer! My wife and I had just finished our anniversary dinner and were heading home by Lake Coeur d’Alene going only about 40 mph when a deer popped out. Damage done My insurance fixed it but this was 5 days before on a 2,000 mile road trip to a family reunion where went camping...

Good looking rig! Congrats and great job getting your daughter out while she’s young! I always pack earplugs for the wind (like the awning extension) against the tent and it really helps with my Propex set up. Like you said they aren’t super loud but when they first come on it is noticable, but...

My truck converts from off road rig to daily driver in 10 minutes. I built a 4 point hoist that lifts each corner and the rack/tent/awning/cargo tray goes on or off as a unit without breaking a sweat. KB Voodoo designed their racks to be compatible with tonneau covers and it is a complete game...

Well finally, 37’s! I chose Toyo’s newer Open Country R/T Trails. Love the looks and solid reviews. To my eye the proportions finally look right. Someday I will upgrade the suspension, but for now the truck has Westcott’s 3” lift up front and 2” in the rear with OME 2866 springs.

300 miles of dirt from North Idaho through the mountains to Polebridge MT and the very edge of Glacier National Park. The last shot shows my 270 freestanding awning with 2 poles down as it was blowing about 15-20mph for about an hour before sunset. I love off roading in this truck! That’s my...

I have been on a journey to figure out good springs for my DD/off road build. The coil air bags I installed popped, then put in OME 2864’s and while a great lift very stiff for my load. Today I put in progressive OME 2866’s and I think I found my sweet spot. On my initial drive the rear is more...

I purchased a CBI Stealth Winch Bumper and was excited to get this installed, off roading without a winch feels a little too vulnerable to me.

I had the plates cut and welded by a local guy and I added a knob to tighten down the set up so it doesn’t rattle on the trail. I also added safety bolts that limit how far out the mount can extend, and push buttons as redundant lock
