37’s

I went direct with Nitro Gear and Axle in Cashmere, WA. The parent company name is Just Differentials same location, same ppl. And I also had the work done there.

@@WolfPacOutdoors thanks for the info. I live in NY I’ve been trying to find the parts or place to get my truck regeared. How do you like the 5.29 with all the weight on the truck and 37s does it do the trick?

@wayned3137 5.29’s are perfect for how I have it set up. I know Nitro will let you ship your 3rd members to them and build it for you, however cost inefficient that may be for most. You should be able to place an order through them then take it to a local shop 👍

You're correct about the ice forming and melting, I totally forgot to mention that when doing the voice over. Thanks for watching and correcting my mistake.

Thanks a ton! Glad you Aussie guys enjoyed🍻

@@WolfPacOutdoors thanks

That was one wild event, talking closely with the NPS afterword I recall them saying they sustained 6 million in damages.

I believe it!

I use the annex/room attached to the awning with an air mattress. It’s waaay more than comfortable but definitely not rated for winter camping without a heater 👍

I haven't been able to find a brand label on it however, its the stock mat that comes with the Norweld tray. You could try going direct with Norweld or Four Wheel Campers for that.

For the fuses I believe direct wiring is the best practice for installing, that being said you should also have an on/off switch between the battery and weboost, as to not constantly use battery. I would be curious if you have anything else on your cigarette lighter lines that are drawing unexpected amps causing the overloading. Any haynes manual should tell you exactly what's on each circuit. From my years of direct use I can ensure this system works, and when you pair it with the weboost app it's even better because you can preplan where to park since the app will show you the direction of the nearest cell tower. From my experience the interior transmitter they give you in the box is nearly worthless unless you hold your device against it, and the only way to get around this is to use a desktop transmitter which will give you about a 25' radius of HQ signal boost. That telescoping mast sounds like a good idea!

@@WolfPacOutdoors The cig receptacle I was using is in the rear cabin/trunk and dedicated. I didn't install and on off switch because I run a 100amp PV panel which is fed into a dual input renogy dc to dc charger with the other input my alternator. This charges 2 x 69aH (138aH) X2 Power SLA deep cycle house batteries as well as my starter battery when the vehicle is off and the house batts are in float mode. I have realized 3" make a difference as far as the interior antenna. The phone should near touch the antenna as a foot away is useless. I would be interested in what sku# a desktop antenna is and its wave progation pattern as to not interfere. A better interior antenna may be best when the exterior is elevated. The last two months I have been pleased. But do understand I may need other options that can be deployed when neccesary. I have not yet had the need to use the telescopic mast but know I will find myself one day in an area where it may be needed. What desktop antenna you recommend?

In the video description I have the desktop antenna I use as well as the other parts you'd need to adapt it to that base. For interference I've found that if I place the interior transmitter 6' vertically below the antenna and 9' horizontally away I have no oscillation. Also the roof acts as a ground plane, which really means the thin sheet of metal mostly keeps the signals on their corresponding sides of the roof.

I’ll disagree and here’s why. 1) a sprinter van isn’t built to do hard wheeling. 2) this massive truck has plenty of aftermarket parts built for tough wheeling and has excellent payload capacity which he needed.

I had a new 1500, it struggled with payload and transmission temp, new 2500 doesn’t notice a camper even and more powwa baby

That’s unfortunate because I natively set this video to no commercials. I’ll talk with TH-cam and see if I can get that fixed. Thank you for making me aware of the issue 🙏

Fixed 👍👍👍

This is a question I was able to answer this winter when I spent a few months in Colorado. It ended up reaching temps as low as -10, which was more than substantial to freeze the pipes. However, the answer is longer than a text. I’ll see if I can make a short video showing you how I overcame that obstacle 👍 Congrats on choosing to start your full time adventure, good luck with it all 🙏

🙄

I perceive a performance increase because of the air ram effect, not sure if there was ever any HP gains... however, I've found that my air filter stays cleaner longer and I explain this by having the air source above the wheel well where dust generally saturates when driving off-road.

for the exterior im using stainless, to hold the camper to the tray I use grade 8 bolts

everyone is entitled to an opinion and mine disagrees with yours

Thank you for the positive energy and may you continue find deep rest throughout your journey 🧘🙏

Yes, FWC has been very helpful with all my warranty items and crazy middle of the night questions 😅 I trust them to do the right thing 👍

Yeah no doubt 👍 these guys are dialed, if you can or want check out one of there events or after parties at any expo… good times, good people, good food 👍👍👍

Sorry friend, not my truck, you may be able to find Micah on IG under Oregon_Trail

Dolphin whisperer 💰

@@WolfPacOutdoors Damn i'm doing it all wrong. good for you.

Yeah no doubt about the point of no return… it wasn’t until I later had to replace the fender that I realized how simple a fender is to replace, literally 9 bolts and a few clips. Plus I’m a huge fan of having the intake out of the wheel well, especially when I was crossing flooded areas last fall, I would have been unable to cross most of them.

This is a great idea 🥳👍 biggest downside with sleeping was the comfort of the bed imo… I also put a vapor pad in to let the moisture evaporate from under the mattress ☺️

Sorry I don’t have the details, try reaching out to Oregon Trail on IG 👍

Thank you so much ☺️🙏 we love this spot, one our favorite local go to camping places… sounds like you love it too 🫶 hope you’re having a great new year 🥳

James thank you. Thanks for making the time to write this comment and thank you for your support. I am beyond grateful for your support, encouragement, and advice for others considering a journey similar to this. Thank you James 🙏 Humbly, Austin

You are welcome! Glad you liked it 🤙

You're welcome! Glad it helped 🤙

Hey Bob, I don’t know an exact height for you… but you can reach out to Stan at 4Wheel Campers in Woodland, CA for that info. His number is +1(530)666-1442, they are the ones that own this truck. Hope this helps 👍 Austin

When I passed the area in January of 23’ it wasn’t too crazy, but if it has been further washed away from hurricane Hilary it could be sketchy. As you probably know it’ll be easer to take it on going uphill but if you find yourself going down you’d probably be able to “berm it” around that section.

Honestly, had to fact check myself when I got home bc I was stunned at how old these trees are…😅 crazy old right?!

Such a beautiful place to immerse oneself in… I only wish I had more time to explore more historical sites of this area. Thanks for sharing in this adventure with me 🙏

Thanks sis 🙏 that one sure was a wild ride! A little TMI for ya, the smell of urine and egg whites stayed in the truck until I replaced every bit of the cooling system and rebuild the motor 🤣 after pulling the heads off, I was washing out year old eggs before putting it all back together 😵‍💫 Thanks for watching 🤙

Hey Andy, Thanks for the comment! I have the gpx file available for download here: wolfpac-outdoors.com/store/p/gpx-tamarack-lake-aka-hidden-lakes and it will work with all the major platforms including on X 🤙

Thanks for watching, I'm glad you liked it!

Thanks for joining me on that journey 👍 and thanks for the video idea, I’ll definitely see what I can do 🤙

Thanks Sonny, creating the content solo is quite laborious but totally worth it👍 it’s hard to believe this all started over 20 years ago with a ford ranger I built and explored Hawaii with.

That was a great 4x4 pickup you built and conquering The Big Island's backroads was the challenge. @@WolfPacOutdoors

It is... stretched straight and gusseted inside and out of the frame.

Thanks Bennett 🤙 since DVNP I’ve added a few bits to it, so it seemed right to put a new video out. Next thing on my list is replacing the seals on the rear locker 😅 thanks again for all your support 🙏

🤣🤣🤣

A few more weeks and I’ll have the first edit out from the Great Divide and the hurricane we survived 😉

no doubt... don't think you can do this with any car or truck... after I went across another fella tried it in a dodge 1500 extra cab and got pushed 10+ feet by the force of water against his truck, no bs I thought he was cooked when it started happening.

whats so special about yours? any truck with a snorkel, tires and a lift would probably be fine.@@WolfPacOutdoors

Damnn that’s crazy fr

I love these sliders, every now and again I’ll hit em with a little rustolium but so far bullet proof 🤙

Hey Tyrion, Thanks for the questions. The fridge is (I believe) the 86L 120AC/12DC and its stock. As for easily plugging it in, no. It's wired directly to a fuse panel which is then relayed to the main batteries. Your best bet would be to have lithium as your house batteries and use something like a redarc manager 30 with solar inputs to keep things topped off when remote camping. Although there are many ways to skin this cat that's my .02. Possibly you could splice into the wires from the back of the fridge and install a pigtail with a 12v plug or somewhere between the fridge and the fuse block. But if you were to do that you'd want to make sure that you aren't backfeeding the entire system unintentionally. That would be done by turning the fridge fuse off when on backup power. Austin
