great video I liked & subscribed see you in the next one great content thanks
Jeeps are becoming less capable. These modern jeeps cant do half or what a ww2 jeep could do.
$4,000 plus!!!!!!! NO way!
I've been interested in hooking up a plow to a 2024+ Colorado / Canyon. Very few posts out there and nothing much from Western / Fisher. This was great ! Thanks for your vid. Let us know how the truck works in the snow.
Like the SC patch 😊 nice rig I'm still trying to figure out my build. I want older truck and invest in the engine with procharger etc. But then I lose the fact of having double cab etc. Looking into it has landed me here to your channel! Nice presentation.
the music was interesting, to put it lightly... I thought it was surprisingly good, considering all the copy right rules... that was funky at times :)
Today I learned: The plate carriers and packs I used in Iraq and Afghanistan (MOLLE) were just glorified peg boards. 🤯😂
I have some pretty valuable stuff on my peg board!
Catching up on your build...great ideas and way to simplify it for those of us who Hate wiring. thanks
Thanks. Atleast it's hard to get in trouble with 12v!
Cool Truck, awesome setup.
Thanks!
Sweet shop you have. If I won’t a lotto I would buy one like it.
Just take out a massive loan and spend the next 30 years paying it off LOL!
I have a 23 colorado and was wondering about the capabilities
if you go into your settings you can shut that beeping off
@Build life overland @01:10 Are the plastic pieces failure points or are they pretty durable?
They are pretty durable. I don't think they would break off.
I think I got the instructions wrong. Got drunk with the whiskey and knocked out on the pillow! 😅
It happens LOL
Love that shop brother!! Thanks for the video. Just got my GMC Canyon and trying to decide what route I will go. Is the one you purchased the EVOa Adventure?
Thanks, It is the adventure.
Thank you.
You're welcome!
Good job 👍.
Thanks!
I looked at 2 brands very similar to each other - Smart Cap and Expedition. I saw where Expedition quality was better. I chose Expedition for my Dodge Dakota SLT.
What made the quality better on the Expedition? I do see it is significantly cheaper in price.
Nice. Sounds like the right decision!
Your first mistake is owning a Chevy.
You can keep your Ford.
I have a '19 Colorado... Great little truck
Lost me at “my Chevy”
See ya!
Don't let the door hit ya on the way out!
@ 2 years from now the door won’t be able to hit me bc it’s a Chevy probably fall apart
The real question is, is the Chevy Colorado worth your money?
I think so. Most new trucks are a bad investment but you have to go to work for something!
If you ever find yourself needing to work with the tape adhesive like this gasket; 3M makes an adhesive promoter called “3M Primer 94 Pen”. I keep a few on hand as they are relatively inexpensive. You can get a 10 pack for around $15 usd. They make a phenomenal difference with gasket style adhesives. I found them when adding gasket seals to the tailgate of my truck over the factory spray in bed liner. I didn’t like the gap between the bed & tailgate on my 24 Frontier. Way too easy to drop stuff right through. 😂
Good to know!
good info man. i have a 2019 zr2, and i must say that i am drooling over the bison package for 2024 -- except for the turbo 4, and the spare tire in the bed.
Same motor in the regular. 16 gpm! I'm not thrilled about that but it's fun to listen to the little turbo spool!
I'd NEVER use wire nuts. Too much vibration. I'd also rewire all the. Outside lights while I can get to it. The wiring in those are crap.
Not a great idea if you can't get to them.
That shop is insane! I like the look of these smart caps, makes the truck look even more rugged.
I agree, thanks
I have a similar type of shell on my truck and this is the idea I needed. Thanks!
You bet!
Is insulating the floor necessary? It doesn’t look like it was done in this build
I didn't. If I used it in the cold more often I think I would.
Is there a way to integrate a power bank to the 12v system to power all the smaller things
Sure, tons of options on Amazon. Sometimes I just take my Jackery 500 and that does whatever I need. I usually have that with the fold out solar panels and run my fridge too.
This model is called, Smart Cap Visibility 85% Negative-Dark Shade 😝
That's allot words to remember!
Pretty cool. How does the third brake light hook up?
They supply a pigtail that ties into your driver side brake light.
@@dennisgehrke9549 Okay, thanks!
I have the Canyon AT4X with the AEV tire mounted in the bed. Do these caps clear the tire? Looks like there is room on the sides, was wondering about height?
Not sure. I would suspect it does but I'd check with them
Sorry, but not sorry. That cap looks like 💩
I disagree looks dope
@@ProblematicbehaviorYou definitely gotta be on dope if you disagree.😁
Gotta love UA-cam and peoples need to have an opinion!
Id say it looks good as well. You might be the Minority on that. Good thing that theres a Cap for you that you’ll like. What is it that doesn’t look right for you?
@ It looks out of place, aka like 💩
I'll never understand why so many people want these. Slow, heavy, introduces many more failure points. Rotating the handle by hand really isn't that hard to do.
I felt the same way so I bought one. I have 13 different trailer between work and home and I've tried everything from manual to electric to screw gun run and currently use all manual. This one quit working pretty quick after I installed it. Makes sense for folks that struggle to do manual.
Awesome vid!! You were a shot of adrenaline in my camper planning. I'm 51, and planning on taking a year+ to travel the country and see every National park I can, and see a Baseball game in every MLB park. Time frame is about 5-6 years out, and will work a few days a week remotely no matter where I'm at. I went crazy and started 3D modeling my dream trailer. I eventually settled on 6.5x12 trailer size. Inside has a custom futon (I'll build it) and removable table so I can work or chill and eat watching a movie. Am I crazy to go that big? 5x8 and 6x10 just didn't feel right for my needs of living on the road for a year+. I'm also planning on getting a Rhodesian Ridgeback puppy down the road so I'll need space for an 80lb doggie. I'm doing the rear outdoor galley with a Truma 69L dual zone, Nomad kitchen sink/stove pullout drawer and custom cabinets I'll build. I started with the Bend Oregon Tallboy trailer size and dropped the height to 5'. I'm 6' tall. Would I be going over board if I went 6'3" so I could stand up? I do want to be able to boondock, be able to go offroad but I don't plan on doing crazy bolder ridden trails. Appreciate any and all ideas and criticism. Also. Galley. I found these guys a couple weeks ago. Awesome pull out stove, sink and cutting board. I'm totally NOT gonna DIY this: www.nomadkitchenco.com/product-page/nomad-kitchen
Great video! I also have a 24 ZR2 and have been waiting for someone to make this exact video to help me make a decision on the Smartcap
It's a great truck cap!
Gave you a sub from Upstate New York. I have same truck and same cap
Nice! It's a great truck and setup!
Hello Sir, are you still overlanding in this rig? what did you do with the rear cab camera? isn't the truck cap in the way? I have the same truck and I am curious if its still working out off road. Thanks a lot ! great video
I actually traded it in on a Colorado. It does block the camera.
I put mine foil side out also. I experimented with both ways it did show lower temps with the heat gun with foil facing out. I did put a foil radiant barrier over studs to give an air space then 3/4” foam. Black trailer 5,000 Btu ac in Florida I stay in the mid 70s inside.
Yeah you guys have a whole different thing to deal with the heat and humidity. Snowmobile guys in Canada probably put it the other way!
I'm having trouble with my truck being too tall to get into the garage. I'm wondering if I lowered my truck then installed airbags to raise it up when driving, if that would work. Thoughts?
If it's too tall at stock height then it wouldn't help. Air bags only add to stock height. These go about 2" max
Great straight forward video. Did you happen to attach the rear stop light that RSi provided? I have a roll-n-lok but was considering upgrading to the RSi.
Yeah it has the light on it but mine didn't have the harness in the box when I opened it. They have since sent and I installed it, took about 5 minutes
Great vid and looking forward to seeing what ya do next. On the fence about this bed cap for my Gladiator. Do you plan to attach anything else, like an awning?
I will probably run a roof top tent at some point. Maybe an awning. I think I am going to put some shelves and what not inside first.
Thank you! I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge.
My pleasure!
Curious how the undercoating is holding up. I have a new snowmobile trailer I'm going to insulate and apply something to the flooring underside... just not sure what to use.
so far it's been great. I talked to my spray foam guy and he said that would do good as well. Then youd get some insulation under it for the winter!
Good job bud. These ZR2’s are beautiful
Thanks! 👍
How many foam insulation boards did you end up using? Just trying to get an idea of how many I should purchase so I don’t have to make 3 trips to Home Depot for insulation boards.
Each 4x8 sheet has 32 sq ft coverage. How many you use will depend on the size of _your trailer_...
Amazing video! I can’t wait to do this to my trailer. Thanks for sharing
Thanks! It's a fun project!
I haul firewood daily with my 1/2 tonne truck and have had bags on my last three trucks. I hate seeing a truck sagging and the bags take the sag out and the roll with extra weight.
Yeah I put them on all my trucks.
What made you go with a smaller truck?
I actually traded my 3/4 ton in on a Colorado and a 1 ton dually.
Are those 12v can led's bright enough? Considering on going with 12v lights or 110v. Thanks
They do pretty good. I'm happy with them.
New to the channel. First off thank you for sharing content. I have a couple questions about your trailer build. 1. What’s your thoughts on doing a leaf over the axles build? 2. What’s your thoughts on adding an outside bar to lock entry door vs a standard RV style latch? Great job…👊
Thanks. I dont know about the spring over. It would make the trailer even higher (this one is extra tall as is) and I would think it would effect it's road manners. I really like this one with the RV door so I can lock when I am sleeping inside and no one can lock me in it (it's happened)
