It's pretty simple to build this. Then all your issues are solved. -Kirk Out

Yes, my Tacoma has a composite bed, with a overhanging lip that is a metal bar on the top of the front bed-wall for rigidity. My rubber spacers are 2". I would never think of removing them. I don't think there are any benefits to sliding it forward a couple inches. As a matter of fact, it won't...

Just put something underneath the floor and lower the camper down onto it. Pallets, old tires, you get the idea... -Kirk Out

Exhaust is going out the back of the camper. You can see it in the photo's. Still working on a better exhaust port. Agonaut20 is correct about the propane. -Kirk Out

Time for a vacation! Headed down to Jacks Canyon just South of Winslow AZ for some climbing. Still not warm enough, teens at night! Whew, condensation! Anybody have an arctic pack they don't need? I'm in the market...! Then farther down south to Cochise Stronghold near Tombstone. Still chilly...

There is an AOPEC Smart Battery Isolator. I also have a 100w solar panel by Solar Cynergy with a CMTP02 solar controller. See my other thread for more photo's, Cheers! -Kirk Out

Checked out your blog, wow! Great trips! You've performed some modifications I'm interested in doing as well. Cutting access to the 120v outlet, AT gas can carriers, rear spot lights, back up camera....ect. Great info! Where did you get the bits and pieces to create the sliding door covering...

Before heading south for a week one more thing needs to be done. Bed extension! 1/2" plywood 1x4 hardwood 1x8 hardwood I cut the ply to extend the bed 24" then sanded and sprayed several coats of lacquer. The strength of the extension lies in the crossbeam slipped onto the edge of the ply. I...

The suspension upgrade is complete. I scored a set of 4 Bilstein 5100's and OME 887 Coils new from a private seller in Texas for $440. Then I picked up some OME HD Dakar leaf springs,EL096R, with the OME Add-a-Leaf EL46XL. I did a bunch of research on how to configure the suspension for the...

Oh, but first: When I bought the rig used from a private seller I was surprised to find that plugging in shore power neither charges the battery nor powers the 12v system. Well that had to be remedied. Thanks to this thread...

Propex HS2000 installation Part Two: Like I mentioned before, my rig is set up for a fridge and heater. It was very nice to find propane stubbed-out to the 'Fridge Compartment' above the heater by ATC. I need to run 1/4" copper down to the heater. I learned that not all copper pipes are...

OK! The Propex HS2000! This job used practically every tool I own and taxed my handyman-construction skills to the utmost! First, it began with purchasing the heater, which is spendy! I found one brand new in the box on craigslist, up in Sun Valley Idaho. Got it for $600 plus shipping. I...

Just remove several screws from the top of the interior panels, pull it back and look down. What's the big deal? On the rear of the camper, You can remove a single section of the exterior siding by just grabbing the edge and sliding it out after removing the edge guards. Exposing the aluminum...

I'd like to use this thread to document my progress in setting up and modifying a '16 Bobcat. I'd also like to address some topics that I couldn't find good descriptions of while searching. Should have named my previous thread, Wiring '16 Bobcat '17 Tacoma, differently to include those posts...

THX! I'm a carpenter. A few bucks for some wood, $17 for two 1" axles and four wheels at $18 ea.. Now I can wheel that thing all over the driveway, in the gravel! A little tough getting it to turn. Gotta lift one end and pivot.

...If so, you may have issues with the long lengths of thin gauge wire to the trailer plug then into the camper. This is particularly true of the newer Tacoma which have an ECU controlled alternator that quickly reduces the voltage after the main battery is charged which makes charging an aux...

I'm putting together a 2016 Bobcat and a 2017 Tacoma TRD 0ff-road. I need to alter the power and lighting connections to fit a 7pin female trailer plug on the bumper of the Tacoma. This plug will fit the 2017 Tacoma TRD off-road trailer receptical. Unfortunately the power connectors on the...
