I’ve had this truck since new and thought it fit to show everyone what I’ve been up to with it.
Brand new off the lot in may of 2020 and I pretty quickly did the cool guy “overland” thing. Jumped on one of the only bed racks on the market at that time, wasn’t really feeling like doing a tube style rack. Bought a brand new Mombasa tent from a local shop that only used it for a shop demo. Locked that in for 600$, no complaints.
Ordered wheels and tires before all the shipping routes effectively shut down. Threw on a teraflex leveling kit and this is all the more I’ve done for suspension. More on that later.
Took this thing all over during the summer of 2020. Wife and I took the dog as many places as we possibly could.
Out of town for work for quite a while after that summer. We picked up tripping again in June of 2021. Went to Washington, glacier, Yellowstone, you name it.
I changed a lot of thing over time that I reincorporated into what I currently have. I don’t like intentionally buying expensive things that I can build myself. I’m not particularly good at anything besides mechanical things so a lot of what I have is rudimentary.
This table mount was really handy with the rack. Obviously ripped off of rebel off road.
Little tank holder for co2.
Added a drawer slide because crawling under the rack to get stuff just sucks. Added bed power to the stock 110 location as I don’t have that option.
Everything fit under a roll up tonneau cover. Super convenient.
I built a case to hold a diesel heater but I never cared for it.
This is pretty much the full extent of what I did when I had the rack. Had a few lights and things too. My friend is a photographer and got some pictures.
Dropped the rack and did a wheeling trip in Moab just before I had the go fast installed. Really nice to shed all that extra weight for a few weeks.
Took the quick day trip out to Bozeman, super friendly guys up there. My build was actually a hold over from a guy that pulled the plug a few months prior to me getting it installed. The previous buyer added the beef racks that I didn’t purchase. During install the guys spotted some blemishes in the rear panel and some shiny spots in the top anodized portion. They reinstalled the beef bars at no cost to me and replaced the rear panel. Got myself a tour of the facility while I waited and still made it home the same night. Like I said, killer crew at GFC.
Took a trip to white rim road in December with a friend of mine. Incredible trip, I’m glad it required passes to enter.
I’ve since taken the go fast out a bit and have very much enjoyed it. No more soft tent zippers carving my fingers up when it’s cold, overall just makes camping quicker which is why I made the investment.
I’ve done quite a bit to the interior now that I’ve owned it for nearly a year.
Here are some photos of the new slide and bed boxes. I’m certainly no carpenter so everything got subwoofer box carpet. Cheap and easy.
The main objective for this whole project is access from inside and outside of the truck. I slimmed down the slide as it didn’t need to be as wide as previously. Go fast doesn’t have handles ANYWHERE so that was a must to add to the extrusions. That little plug in the bumper is for my diesel heater. I have the side box wired for truck power as well as a jackery 240 wired in.
There is plenty I’ve done that I’ll answer any questions about!
