Finally got a chance to test out the Planar portable heater setup. Kept it’s nice and toasty while it was 28 degrees outside or so.

LED strip lights and lots of electrical hook up. Some ideas from @julian Getting ready for a fishing trip in Montana so getting dialed! Also put in a bed sealer. Always get so dam dusty back there being a carpenter and camping. I mean whatever it’s a truck but trying to keep it somewhat clean to chill in.

Added curtains to the rear window thanks to a couple nice ladies at a small quilting shop. $35 later, drill a couple small holes and run 550 cord.

Hey man, I’m curious about the process you mentioned for sealing the bed of the Jeep Gladiator?
Mounted some @jedgar drip rails onto the V2. Was a bit concerned with clearance as I have a modified Prinsu Habitat rack. After installation, as you can see, there is plenty of room.

Sprayed the tent with permethrin as this is my first weekend in a while where I can just leave the tent up in the driveway to dry… also it’s big season people.

Added new rear camera because I couldn’t see shit out of the factory one due to my CBI swing outs. Gonna take some getting used to. Camera was from TailgateCamera with factory/oem plug. Also have anytime backup camera mod to finish.

I’ve been thinking about relocating my backup camera to a similar spot. Any tips on wire routing and mounting?

I used a dremel and put a notch in the 3rd brake light. Wired through the same hole as that wiring and then across the top to the passenger side then down and through the bed. I haven’t sealed it up yet. Time will tell.

Nice, thanks. Good move to use the existing wiring hole.

Here is a link Z member that did the original post he lists all the parts I ordered directly from Southco cost was $125
Took me 15 minutes per side with a hand file turns out the outside diameter of the existing latch is a good template for the new one.

I like that “panelled” wood. Makes it look better than just plywood. Going to have to look for some of that to finish my build out.

And here I was getting velcro already to use for a curtain, instead of reaching for my drill and miles of parachute cord I’ve accumulated over the years. Def going to do this now for my rear hatch window!
