Heck if I know 😂. No longer have the truck. Whatever it was they held plenty well.

Breaker is there to control the overall power being transmitted to the back of the truck. Fuses are there for protecting and isolating individual circuits. I don’t want a problem with my fridge or diesel heater interrupting all the power to the back of the truck, which would happen if you only used one fuse/breaker

Glad you liked it!

I’m sure it’s possible, but it would likely be very heavy in comparison. There are versions of this build that are made out of 100% 80/20 extrusion, which eliminates any need to weld. You should give those a look!

Thank you! I would say any time you can afford to replace more things while you are already in and doing some of the work, the better. It’s like replacing a water pump while doing a timing belt, already in there, might as well take care of it.

That’s awesome! I didn’t get the exact weight of the camper, but it was in the 300-400lb range based on the number of people it took to get into the truck

Man you had a good thing going for you in the first part until you decided to be a condescending ass with your last sentence. Hopefully you speak nicer to other strangers you don’t know. Unless you just like to make yourself feel better than others? Oh and over 3 years, no issues. In the off chance it did short that’s why there is a fuse and that specific wiring only powered the LEDs. Thanks for the concern.

I’m currently running Road Active Suspension. It’s working okay but I want to add some sumo springs or an additional leaf.

So far it’s been great! It’s such a blast on the road. The cons are the ones you usually see, the rear shock is inadequate on the damping department and the wind buffeting from the windscreen isn’t good. Overall I really like it vs my KTM 1090 as it just feels more planted and easier to manage Offroad. I’d definitely spring for the expedition model as it’s just a better value unless you pickup a used regular 901. There are some concerns with the cam lobes on the motor, but it’s hard to say how wide spread that is and if it’s manufacturing issue or user issue related to dust ingestion. I’ve been eyeballing the new BMW F900GS, but it is of course more money.

Hmm, I don’t seem to recall doing anything special for the high beams, simply plugged everything into the harness as intended. The light on the dash will no longer come on, but the harness should handle the needs of the high beams.

Interesting, I’ll look into it. Thank you anyway!

Thank you, I appreciate the kind words. Yes I did do this on the stock scorpion tires, was a bit challenging in some spots but not too bad!

Do it! It’s a rewarding project if you have the space, tools and time.

That’s awesome!

I do really like the bike. The rear shock can be addressed, and it’s fine for most fire road exploring, especially if you aren’t fully loaded with gear. Where it suffers is G outs and big hits. If the expedition model was out when I got my Norden, I would have went that route. When you look at the full package of what KTM/Husky offers in these 890/901 bikes, it’s hard/impossible to get the same overall package from other brands. It’s hard to find a bike that has good power, cruise control, low CG, isn’t super expensive and good fuel range. With that said, the new BMW 800GS looks really nice and I’ve been eyeing them. It looks like a bike that on paper can compete, but it of course is more $$$

Oof! Yeah that would certainly add to the challenge. I only had a 2” lift

Hey glad you found it helpful! Adding a table would be great! Good luck on the build out!

It’s such a great area! Thanks for watching.

I did and it was pretty minor. One of my only gripes with the design.

Essentially everyone who is familiar with 1st Gen tacomas and 4 runners that use the same LBJ style. The design of these was flawed and that’s why they need to be inspected or replaced more often as the failure mode is much worse than other generations of Toyota trucks

@@pnwxplore Not trying to be a smart Alec but if they have a design flaw why would you want to replace them with oem ball joint?

Fuse box in the bed was intentional. Otherwise anything else you want to wire into the bed has to be ran all the way from under the hood to the back of the truck, which costs more and is more of a hassle and you’d need to use higher gauge wiring due to the length of the run. It allowed me to have a fuse box location back there for the eventual house battery, lighting and powering a diesel heater.

I’ll also mention I bought your 3D mounting brackets - things are clutch

Thank you! The hinge point is a total pain, I would share my measurements except I don’t even think mine are right as mine doesn’t fully close how it should in the back. So I don’t want to lead you in the wrong direction. What I did was bent the EMT into the two sections first. You can make the sections longer than needed and then cut off the excess once you sort things out. I then played with them on the ground to try and sort out where to put the hinge point to achieve closing it properly as well as opening properly. It’s honestly more complex than I anticipated and I didn’t get it right the first time and had to redo my hinge point. Be sure to factor in how far away from the edge of the roof and wall the EMT is mounted into the hinge point measurements, otherwise you could end up with a scenario where the lift panel tries to push the roof forward when closing because the offset from the edge/wall wasn’t factored. Thanks for buying the mounts, glad you like them! They have been going strong for a year now on mine.

Thank you!

TYC was the brand.

It was a good weekend to be out there.

Ok, I just spent time watching your documented and very detailed forum page.. wow! you could start your own wedge canopy business with those skills! amazing job bud, I mean it.

Hey thank you! I wasn’t the one who started the forum thread, Ripcord was the one who really pioneered these self built campers. I followed his build list to help gather parts for my own build and then I put my own spin on things. It’s definitely a rewarding project, but takes a good amount of time. My advice is to not do it on a timeline and just take your time. Thanks for tuning in!

Great tips for anyone else looking to reduce road noise!

Thank you! I believe I used epanel panels for my whole build. Same thickness Ripcord used

@@pnwxplore Thanks, but sorry didn't get about epanel. Which material is this. Do you have any link to know more about it ?

@abhartiyarider give e-panel a search on Google. It’s similar to the other types of panels out there

Used regularly for 2 years, no issues.

Yeah I would say these sections are totally doable. Nothing other than your typical forest roads. The most challenging section is the stretch’s around Big Lake, just soft and some whoops. Thanks for tuning in!
