Fantastic Video!! Your is the most detailed with the best angles to see everything. Thank You So So Much!! One question, would it be wise to chang the upper ball joint at the same time? Everything is up, open, & apart anyway?
@pnwxplore Күн бұрын
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.

I know it’s 3 years old, but those two wires (white and red) on the bracket in the back, top left corner. Need to be insulated. Over time they will rub and short out. I hope you don’t do this type of work professionally.

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.

@pnwxplore 18 күн бұрын
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.

What did you think of that Husqvarna? How bad is the rear shock? Was curious after that trip if you were happy with the purchase or would have gone another way. Thanks!
@pnwxplore Ай бұрын
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 $$$

Nice set up, only thing I would've done differently is put the fuse box under the hood but yea definitely taking ideas from this for my 2nd gen 4runner
@pnwxplore 2 ай бұрын
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.

Camper looks killer my guy. I’m in the process of building EMT lift panels as well. Having a hard time with the hinge point to get it to close perfectly. Curious if you have a measurement on where you put yours. Thanks!

I’ll also mention I bought your 3D mounting brackets - things are clutch
@pnwxplore 2 ай бұрын
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.

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!
@tepidtuna7450 2 ай бұрын
Great work. Some other areas to consider: * Tires themselves generate a lot of noise. Find a balance of on road / offroad needs, but a well-designed on road tire will be quiet, grippy, and lower fuel use. * Exhaust and engine isolation. Make sure mounts and hangers are new with good quality soft rubber. Avoid solid mounts. * Test and retorque suspension and body nuts and bolts. * Pure exhaust volume. If modified, a loud exhaust can reverb back into the vehicle, especially droning. Consider retrofitting a late model exhaust from a scrapyard. * The firewall itself in the cabin. Hard to get access to all the firewall, but it faces all the engine and open road noise. * Other panels bolted to the body but not a part of the cabin can transfer vibrations to the cabin structure. Hood, front fenders, truck tray, sidings, and tailgate. * Multi-frequencies. Different isolation products only reduce sounds within set frequency ranges. Apply additional products where it counts. Use a decent sound spectrum analyser to know which frequencies are still strong. * Wiring hardness. It is heavy and can move and vibrate against the body. Wrap it in a fireproof felt product. * Good luck, it's a fun challenge. 🙂
