      Only with moderate upgrades.

      3. Bigger brakes

      Not an oversight. If I need it at camp I deploy before raising the top. However, that's only a temp solution as I fabricated a bracket that lowers the awning when the top is up. I just didn't have it finished when we filmed.

      Where are you located? There are a lot of importers online, but the engine swap is dependent on where you’re located.

    is all these upgrades under 1000 lbs??? Because thats the biggest payload according to manufacturer…or did you beef up suspension??
    Ive gone through a couple sets of rear struts with my build, and i weigh each individual thing i load in my element and include my weight and my dogs weights!

    • @StephenAldaco
      @StephenAldaco  7 місяців тому +1

      This element is upgraded with flat out suspension so it should be able to handle a bit more weight. If Dat sees this comment he will give you more specifics.

      The stuff added is way under 1000 lbs. The ecamper is only about 130 lbs, the hitch even with the tire and other stuff is about 115, the cabinet is super light, maybe 30 lbs, table is about the same. I don't carry much in my roof storage, just my chairs, and the overland rack is 30 lbs. My gas mileage was not affected by this stuff. Believe me, I was very conscious of the mods I chose based on weight.
