Yeah it truly is amazing scenery! It was a great trip. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

We did a trip up to explore BC, we went through Banff, Jasper and Wellsgrey parks. Great trip and the first long one in our newly built truck. Amazing trip, lots of fun hikes and great scenery. Full write up here: https://www.nwadventuretruck.com/first-long-trip-report/ A few pics from the trip

Huge thanks to Ryan at Bahn Camper Works, http://www.bahncamperworks.com, he sold me his last shower unit, and it seemingly was the last one in stock in the US. Thanks again! Not the ideal location above the exhaust, but the only place it wanted to fit. Super slick, well worth the $$ It...

It is unfortunate, but part of the nature of the beast. I do think a bedliner is a great option, I looked into it for my old Winnie. The local guy had done a few, they have white now too which would be far better than black! Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

This was miserable to get out! But its done. One more clamp to put on, but it was out of stock. All sensors except this one came out with some penetrating oil and heat. Not buying a damn new one! Nifty little tuner. Sadly the CEL came on, #6 glow plug circuit failure.... I am guessing this...

I am seeing a lot of people using the new polyurethane-based Bedliners. I thought about it, but the one I like doesn't go over bare metal well. My whole roof is bare aluminum. Yes Sikaflex is not cheap, but it's bullet proof. I have a case of it in the garage.... Sent from my SM-G950U using...

Not pretty, but should be water tight. eight tubes....

Center ground down. Scrub brush and acetone came next. Then Sika 260 primer Front edge got a red scotch brite, acetone. Then the primer.

The roof issue..... Across the front. Obviously failed. Peeled off easily. Luckily there is a big layer of buytyl there, so its not leaking there. But the sides don't have much butyl, and are leaking. Hard to see but you can see the cracks in the middle (i fixed the worst ones without...

Yeah definitely, It works sometimes, then sometimes it overloads the inverter.... Its right on the verge of pushing the 150% of the inverter, which is its surge rating....

Well the good news is, the 120v side of the wiring is done, bad news is it won't run my coffee maker :( ugh But the table is installed! Great time at the NWOR, we were comfortable, but had one of the most "not off road" trucks there. Either way it was nice. Hung out with lots of friends...

Quick overnight trip. This thing drive so nice on the road, potholes still suck..... Stole a rod holder off the boat.... ..... and Instant BBQ

Dinette Table acquired! A little skinny, but man it's going to look awesome! It's from a local 98 year old Lebanese Cedar tree.

All the electrical goodies to make it all work. And a curtain happened too. Yes the truck is dirty.... we are using it....

Who doesn't love a fresh roll of 2/0?! House battery wiring day It took 25' to get front to rear. Wow that was not fun. Its oiled up well underneath. Disappearing into the beast But its loomed and run the whole way! Need to get come more end connectors and run the ground. Ground run to...

Install fill and vent. Add water. Chase leaks. I hate threaded fittings!!!! PEX is awesome though. Hot water coming out! Apparently I took zero pics of the grey tank. Its the blue jug, its a hose barb fitting off the end of the strainer basket, a piece of 1" vinyl tube. Works really well...

Run water lines. Hook up water pump, used flex here to try to keep noise and vibrations in the lines down.... Pump is god damn loud. Its a used one I have had in my garage for years now.

Here is a recap on the thrash that was Friday. Whoever decided I needed to get the water done before we left was a little nuts.... Needless to say, the three hours I had planned for it wasn't enough. Oh well, I dragged my *** out of bed at 6:30 and got to work. I had to connect the tank to the...

Glad your enjoying it! I'll post some more updates soon Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

It has been a good one! Water tank is in, strapped in place, and hopefully stays there. Glad I didn't get a bigger tank, no way I would have gotten the fittings on the end. Water outlet, drain valve on the right will need to go down though the floor. And in place, it fit exactly tight...

Yeah the whole 4 picture thing SUCKS! I am way further along now.... But its hard to post with so few pics. my site is www.nwadventuretruck.com, its mostly up to date. Ill get more here too, its just a long process at 4 pics per post.

And all done. And since It was almost 90 yesterday we thought we should give sticker peeling a go! Man it came off so much better than when it was cold out! No more sponsor names, just the number either side now. There was even a second layer of blue on the front!

Also started on my 120V breaker box. Then it was time for more holes..... Water heater intake/exhaust. I even managed to get the hole from the inside and outside to line up Its a concentric vent, intake around the outside, exhaust down the middle. All stainless which is nice.

Long overdue update ........ Charger is wired. Ran a piece of flextite conduit between the tool box on the drivers side and the battery area. This is so I can run my incoming power cable from there. Also ran a pair of 8 gauge wires for the solar hook up. The solar controller will likely be...
