Added thru-bolted D-rings to keep stuff from movin' around while offroading. added magazine holders too.

Like you said, that must be it. The optima(s) are pulling a lot of current when discharged. I'll check the wiring to the camper and see how many amps it will support. I might have to re do it to something larger and a high capacity bed connector. also I'm thinking about adding a voltage...

testing a 6000btu window a/c now :D

I have two optima batteries in the camper. when they are very discharged the 30A fuse that supplies power from the truck electrical system blows after charging for a few minutes. I don't understand this as I thought the batteries would only accept as much current as the circuit could handle.

awesome thread. i'm going to keep checking up on your progress :D

so what do you guys think? I have a 2000w gen. I was thinking about a portable a/c or one of the window units. take it with me for summer desert camping. leave it home when not needed. sleeping under the fantastic fan and a wet towel isn't cutting it. has anyone done something like this...

real nice job! i'm sure i have seen your rig before.

B team: Really like that Hella you mounted. I know it is flush, but a few questions....Exactly how is it held in place? Pretty secure? Can you run just one of the two bulbs? Also, if flush mounted, is the beam low enough to light up the hitch area on the truck? I do like the porch light...

Yeah, take some pics. pop up campers and 4x4s

On mine each circuit has a different color wire (blue, yellow, etc) By pulling out the converter I was able to find which wire goes to what and add my stuff to that. hope that helps.

looking good. You got skillz.

I have the factory fwc mechanical jacks. They are great. Just make sure to have a cordless drill to use them. I usually keep them off to reduce weight.

throw some airbags on the rear axle and you'll have years of enjoyment ahead of you.

I was thinking about one of the fancy ones but thought it would weigh too much :confused: I went with a pouch type awning. Works great and looks nice but I'd be almost as happy with a tarp and home made support poles.

Yes I have a radio in mine. I have an internal ant (in cabinet area). It is just a piece of ant cable with the insulation stripped off. Works fair but I usually listen to sat radio. Its mounted above the fridge. Best location for use inside and outside the camper. I also have a wireless...

They are good for what they are but don't expect to run speeds like an offroad baja race truck when you have your camper on. I have to slow down a lot and handling sucks vs. not having 1000# or so in the bed of the truck. Like NCF said you can modify weak spots. I'd recommend spending...

I bought 2 blue top dual purpose optima batteries so I could get by w/o a vent. I had a single regular deep cycle before that wasn't vented and never had any problems. I haven't put in any switches for the backup/worklight. I might do as others have done and put a switch in the cab of the...

The hella is made to be flush mounted HL-200B http://www.awdirect.com/catalog.cfm The wiring wasn't there for the side porch light I installed. I took off the track for the sliding bed, unscrewed the interior panel just enough to run wires to the light and drilled a hole through the exterior...

porch light where it should be :D Removal of rear porch light and installing hella worklamp. The light is pretty nice. Very bright and has two 55W bulbs on separate circuits. Can't wait to try this out at night.

So i finished carpeting my storage box and working on wiring up the two batteries. Also put in a 110W hella light, side porch light , water pump w/ custom switch, electric control panel, interior tie downs. some pics... a sat dish and eu1000 fit under the seat!

On mine the upper part of the bolt snapped. The wood held.

A swing out rear bumper/tire carrier.
