First Tundra Mild Overland build

First time poster but in the last few years been using the forum pretty regularly. But my story goes as follows. LOL
Decided after having a 96 chevy S10 ZR2 for 18 years that i should upgrade and looked for about a year and went with 2017 tundra SR5 trd package in Inferno which is now my favorite color (at least when clean and in the sun). I also am a bit of a nerd and wanted to build a bit of an overlanding rig and keep it as a daily driver. So here is where I'm at at this point:
FabFours premium winch bumper
Warn Zeon Platinum 12k winch
ARB CKTMA12V Dual air compressor
ARE HD topper with extrusion skeleton
Autohome airlander+ medium rooftop tent
Dometic CFX 50qt fridge
xantrex 2KWatt inverter (so i can do a little remote construction)
2x 110AH 12 AGM batteries to run inverter
200A Perfect Switch battery Isolator (expensive but so worth the money in the end)
Some DIY self electronics (didn't want to pay for spods so made my own there price is just to much for me for what they are)
Firestone Airbags to help with extra weight
Im a bit of a water hog when camping so i put a 35 gallon water tank in with a pump for some water in the camp.

Still need to do suspension upgrades and planning a Expedition One dual swing arm rear bumper next year but for now its camping time.

 

So far so good! Especially the inverter..and welcome from Ventura California.

 

Yea its my second product I have used from them I had a build I had to do at work that needed 4KWatts while moving down the road. It was paired with a onboard generator so I had to use the freedom SW inverter and have them paralleled up. Its a nice run my table saw, chop saw or air compressor off the batteries no need for the gas generator.

 

Damn I need this set up!!..send me order list please..

 

my setup or the one for work, it was in a sprinter van so way more room and bigger budget than I had for my build. Here is a pic of the sprinter build inverters

 

Hi and welcome from SoCal!!!

 

Welcome to the party!!

 

You do all the electrical? Looks pretty dang good man

 

So been away for a while with life and such. sorry for a complete lack of reply. I did do all the all the work myself.

 

A few more pics on the rig build.

 

hand built extension to roof top tent. Took a few weeks and alot of PLA filiment. The one pic is the latching system to get the side to link and be solid while its stored.

 

next week will be suspension upgrades. Going with icon RXT leafs in the back with option 2 and rxt resi rear shocks, Daystar airbag cradles. Fronts are going to be icon resi coilovers but want the 3" height and i have that front bumber and winch so need more spring so going 16" 700lbs eibach springs for those coilovers hoping to need little preload but we'll see. I may not need it but doing it anyway going with SPC UCAs to clear those icons.

 

Very cool.

 

Awesome rig and build!

Water and Air sections of build, and battery. Water tank is centered in bead and an agm battery is placed on either side of bead to balance out my load, hence the 2x AGMs.

 

For cable penetrations into the bed i didn't want to drill so I used the existing bed plugs and 3d printed a replacement that allows a 90 degree liquid tight conduit fitting. All my cabling from engine to bed is in conduit to keep water and debris off the jacket.

 

What the bed looks like with inverter shields in place and bed lights on.

 

well enough updating until i get the suspension slung next week. hope ya'll enjoy the log may be get some ideas for your builds

 

sweet build !

 

Awesome rig man! Some great idea, thanks for sharing.

 

Welcome from Ohio

 

Well just i just finished up installing the following suspension upgrades.
Added:
SPC upper a-arms
Icon front 2.5" coilovers remote resi's with eibach 700lb springs
Icon rxt rear leaf pack with option #2
Icon rxt rear 2.5" remote resi's
Daystar airbag cradles

The rear is completely install able by one person but the front when it comes to pushing down the lower a-arms youll need someone to push down the arm while sliding in the shock. Anyway there in and its aligned and ready to roll. Got to put some new tires on.

 

Great build! Those old ZR2's sure do last a long time. I still see them on the road from time to time. Also, so how much would you charge me to build a couple of these 3D printed bed plugs for my truck?

 

Are you needing the same hole pattern cause i can do a different hole patterns? Cost will probably just be the shipping. Let me know what you were thinking and ill see what i can do.

 

Welcome

 

Welcome from Colorado

 

Was informed on another thread that the fronts were on wrong (hose is going toward the back not the front) called icon. Well I found out shouldn't have followed the stupid stickers that state driver and passenger on the shocks because they may be on the wrong shock. So swapped them out this morning. here is what they look like now.. looks better anyway.

 

Welcome from East Tennessee

 

That's ridiculous, glad you got it right before any issues cropped up.
