Love the build mate but you need to disconnect the tent from the cab of the vehicle. The cab and the tub are mounted to the cab completely differently and will move independently of each other on rough roads and when flexing the vehicle. Something will end up breaking or cracking over time.
Exactly what i did built wise to my ranger, keeping it simple, compared to my ol patrol which had litterally everything over weight bulky😂. Dual battery, single draw same as yours haha built a lift up side compartment for my storage. 50L watee tank with a pressure pump against head board. 2inch lift, 285s. No bullbar or heavy shit bolted to it. Basic is better haha especially when i tow me camper also. Killer setup! Has you fuel econ jumped up a bit. I spose amything around 10L per 100 is better then the A v8 petrol haha.
Yeah it has mate she’s around 9.5 now 😂😂 I still can’t get used to this fuel economy, basic is definitely better mate I’m going to have to look at suspension at some point in the rear for the weight
Nice build bro. Just curious how the standard suspension is holding up with the load so far? Im looking at a next gen as my next car. They say they increased rear spring loading aye? Thinking of keeping things real simple like this one.
Noted, yeah i had to go +300kg in the rear and 100 in the front on my dmax. Looking at upgrading to the ranger, I like the simplicity of your set up. I see in the more recent posts you went to rims and 285s was it? What offset did you have to run with them? @@4x4CampingandAdventures
Great video. How do you find the maxliner canopy for letting in dust over the summer? Cause i noticed that it doesnt come with a positive air vent. Also are you planning on making the side pantry for your window yourself or buying something? Cheers
Planning on making something mate when I get around to it 🤣 and yeah the canopy is pretty clean mate not much dust gets in I do have the front window cracked to let some air through
I have now changed this mate was putting to much stress on the bar on the body now it’s got a flat tray which extends out further and it’s a much better setup
Love it mate, nice and simple can't wait to see that pantry set up. Any issues with the RTT mounted to the cab and to the canopy in regards to movement of the body?
