What a build this has been! We’ve gone from Touring Mode to Weekender to full on Expedition Ready in less than one year.

Since we installed the ARB 4x4 Accessories - USA Zenith Winch Bar, ARB 12K Winch and 3 sets of Nacho Offroad Lighting, we’ve traveled across the US twice, logged 30 days traveling remotely in Idaho and hosted 5 guided trips in the Mountain State. Although the winch hasn’t been unspooled yet, we’ve nudged the bumper over rocks, off of trees and scooped up our fair share of mud and dirt with no complaints.

It’s been a while since we’ve installed an ARB 4x4 Accessories bumper on one of our trucks and I’m super pleased with the performance and durability. Now that the MKII Winch Bar Bumper is out for the 24+ Tacoma; however, it’ll be interesting to see who opts for a Zenith low profile bumper vs. the Summit bull bar bumper.

Which would you choose?

We setup 3 models of Devos Outdoor LightRanger LED camp lights to show you how they compare at night under a drone. Here’s a quick walkthrough of key features and a final side by side comparison in the backyard. All footage was shot at the same camera settings so we could fairly represent each model.

Introducing the NEW MidlandUSA MXT295 PRO MicroMobile Bluetooth GMRS radio. A true cable-free comms experience with 15 Watts of transmitting power and an IP67 waterproof and dustproof design. Over 3X the power over standard handheld radios paired with the flexibility of mounting anywhere in your vehicle with various antennas options. We used this radio exclusively in our Tacoma while filming “Hammer Down 7” in Idaho and there’s no doubt that the flexibility of the MXT295 PRO will compliment comms in your truck, in the camper and outside your vehicle. Spot a recovery or drive the open road with the cable-free MXT295 PRO MicroMobile from MidlandUSA.

Real happy with how the interior layout turned out with our Alu-Cab camper build. We opted for a Zarges USA buildout to give us various options for dry and dust-proof storage.

This layout leaves us one large case on the driver side, (we call it the “trunk”) and three smaller K470 cases staked on the passenger side. BONUS: Using stackable cases like this makes it easy to remove when you want more room in your camper for everyday use.

And yes, that is an odd-sized National Luna fridge; it’s a tall one! It works perfectly in this space and is ideal for a desk height work surface when sitting on the Zarges cases. Ahead of the fridge and cases we installed an Expion360, Inc. 240Ah battery and REDARC Electronics 400W inverter underneath the water tank.

There are plenty more details to mention but we’ll save the complete buildout and walkaround for YouTube.

Shooting video for a YouTube series, running multiple cameras, and doing it all on the road comes with learning lessons. With regards to data storage, here’s what we’ve learned:

1. Avoid using external SSD backups exclusively.
2. Multiple layers of redundancy is crucial.
3. Assign one person the duty.
4. Backup at least daily.

Got any questions about these tips or care to share more? Comment below and let’s talk about it.

Any guesses how long it takes to setup an Alu-Cab camper that sleeps 4 people and crack a cold one on the edge of a cliff in Utah without falling 1500’ to your death?

Each day in Idaho was a new beginning. We mapped our own route with only a satellite view of what was ahead - and it was worth it.
