Adding 12V Power to my Truck Bed & Roof Top Tent
zhlédnutí 707Před měsícem
Finally finished an upgrade that I've been looking forward to for a long time! I was able to add a 12v socket to the bed of my 2019 Ford F150. It was honestly pretty simple and very inexpensive. It's also on a relay and hooked up in a way that only feeds the socket power when the ignition is on. This way anytime a drive it starts charging my Ecoflow power station but then shuts off and doesn't ...
Spring Truck Camping in the F150!
zhlédnutí 1,3KPřed měsícem
First time taking the truck out this spring! Winter hasn't wanted to go away but we finally got a decent weekend to take the truck out. Got some new gear to show you and we have a great quick overnight trip in the mountains. The F150 Overland/Camping build is getting pretty dialed and I'm stoked on all the new upgrades I've put on recently!
Replacing my Crappy Fog Lights with These! | Lasfit 3 inch LED Pod Lights

When I bought my aftermarket Barricade front bumper it came included with a pair of fog lights. Bumper was awesome but the lights were not. Recently one of them took on water and stopped working plus they were never very bright. So I replaced them with these high power 3" pod's from Lasfit. I choose to do an Amber Spot pattern this time and they are way cool. This is my unboxing, install and in...

Kind of a random video this week. lol. Took my "Overland/Camping" built Ford F150 to a vehicle scale to see what my truck weighs with the current tent setup and permanent gear that stays in the truck. Next I head up the canyon in search of some places to camp soon even with all of the snow. I tried to film a full review of the 23 Zero Armadillo A3 roof top tent but my son wasn't having it so it...
Why I Chose a Full Size Truck for Overlanding & Camping

Using Milwaukee Packout's for my ULTIMATE Camp Kitchen
zhlédnutí 90KPřed 3 měsíci
In this video I show you how I use the Milwaukee Packout system to organize my camp kitchen and create a perfectly organized camp kitchen setup. For years I dug around in bins before coming up with this solution. It's super convenient to have a portable drawer setup that's also modular. You can buy any of the packout options that work for your gear and snap them all together to fit your needs. ...
What is the ULTIMATE Snowbike? Pt. 2
zhlédnutí 474Před 3 měsíci
Is spending $30,000 on Snowbike really worth it? How much power do you actually gain for that kind of money... Last year we compared the 450 vs 500 on a hill climb. This year we take it up a notch and test out our 490 vs our 550! We also run a 450 & 500 with them to give a more accurate test as to which Husqvarna snowbike pulls the hardest and what our personal preference is. Overall the 500's ...
Private Jets & Snowbiking

This week we take advantage of the snow and head up into the mountains to ride. Our buddy from Oregon flies into town in his private jet and comes snowbiking with us for a few days. Had a very interesting first day... But day 2 was one of the best of the entire year. Also installed the new Timbersled front ski rubber on my bike.

Deep Powder Snowbiking & Getting Stuck!
zhlédnutí 239Před 4 měsíci
This week we finally got a bunch of snow and the powder was deep up in the mountains! We ride Timbersled's in the Idaho backcountry and have a fun time with just three of us. Then we head to our Cabin and I get the truck and trailer super stuck in the snow! Had to use the Mercedes Unimog on chains to recover it.
EPIC Snowbiking in the Idaho Backcountry
zhlédnutí 180Před 4 měsíci
Got a good snowbike ride in Idaho this weekend. Even with a lack of snow here in Utah it's still fun to get out on the bike even if it's spring like riding conditions. Less snow just means more traction so it's still a great time. After the ride I give you my opinion on the new 5w Rocky Talkie radio I've been using this season as well as show you a storage option for your Timbersled tunnel usin...

Cole you gotta change your description "new videos every Thursday (;"... just giving you crap bro. Seriously though keep up the consistent content man you're getting attention. Don't get complacent! If you keep going this shit could set you up for life dude! Cheers from Michigan 🤙🏽
They say the only comments that hurt are the ones that are true 😂 and that was the truth. lol. I actually really appreciate that though. I beat myself up when I can’t get a weekly vid out and it’s been multiple weeks now. (My trucks been in the shop for a few weeks but that’s a poor excuse) New vids coming soon I promise! Thanks for giving me crap and pushing me in the right direction! I need it!
@@coleeades you're welcome bro. Don't take it personally I just see you on a path to great success and I know with CZcams it's all about consistent content. You're killing it bro keep it up. If you don't have your truck you should do some content and you're employers workshop! Seems like they makes some sick ass gear. That truck you camped in is insane.
Sam's has it right now for $299
That’s a steal! Great time to get one
I agree that the full size truck is the way to go. The fact that you can get one for around the same price as a midsize with close to the same fuel economy and you get so much more truck and comfort. It's a no-brainer for me. I'm currently in a GMC, but my next one will be a Tundra to get that reliability... I don't want to rebuild this darn tranny for the third time!
Don’t blame you! I’m a big fan of the new tundras. They are sweet
how did you fit 35s did you have to trim or did they just fit right in with no rubbing? i’m wanting to do the exact setup
I have a 3” lift for starters but I’ve had friends run 35” on a leveling kit. Just have to cut out the crash bars with a sawzall/grinder and then do some other mild trimming behind the front wheel with a grinder.
Your towing and payload numbers are a bit off for your specific truck. According to Fords 2019 Tow chart that 13,200 pound towing number is only for 3.5EB powered Supercrew 2x4 6.5 ft bed trucks equipped with the Max Tow Package, 3.55 axle, and 20 inch wheels. Yes very specific these ratings are. Your truck, 3.5 Supercrew 4x4 5.5ft bed can tow 10,700 pounds. Payload is even more specific and yes it's possible for up to 3270 in very specific F150 configurations but not on your truck that's a Supercrew, 4x4, and short box. In 2019 3230 is the max possible payload for 3.5EB only when in a regular cab 2x4 long box AND equipped with the pretty rare heavy duty payload package that brings the GVWR up to 7850. The max possible payload in a supercrew 4x4 short box with 3.5 (your truck) is 2030 pounds or 7000 GVWR meaning your truck in base XL trim weighs 4970 with no options or accessories added. Payload is unique to each truck based on what's added to it and that number is on the "tire and loading info" sticker inside the driver's door. Being an XLT with some options your payload will be lower probably around 1700-1900 pounds. Ford has a chart that breaks down payload based on engine, drive type, cab and bed type (wheelbase), and max GVWR. 3rd Gen Tacomas have a Max payload of 1535 pounds for PreRunner Access cab 2wd models but most are well below that.
Thank you for letting me know and taking the time to explain it. 👍 Thanks for watching the video
Excellent
F L E X is also another good option, if ya don’t like the red.
Love these videos I just think that's funny that some people have a set up like this just to eat instant meals
Sometimes I’m Gorden Ramsey and sometimes I eat like a toddler. lol
Also, video, I have a 2017 Ford, with the same bed length . I'm just now getting into camping with the truck and this video was very informative
Appreciate you watching! Thanks
This is a fantastic idea! I’m trying this 2-drawer PACKOUT in my little ProMaster City camper. I’m planning on getting the wood top for it, and an aftermarket fold out shelf for one side. Since I’m a single camper, this should be perfect for my camp kitchen. Thanks!
Those accessories will make it sweet!
I was using the packout products for gear as well. Also used a professional makeup organizer box which had drawers. Was nice to be able to move that to a table and leave it outside over night. My current set up in my 4runner has everything in drawers which I like, but I find that I'm constantly going back and forth to grab items for cooking. I think I need to figure out the in-between. modular boxes that fit into the drawers but can still be left out overnight in the elements. My favorite camp kitchen though is just a ribeye over the fire, a cutting board, and a knife. Cheers!
Nice video! I bought one because it is dual zone and is basically the only dual zone that will fit under my tonneau cover. We will see how it lasts!
Ya I had the same restrictions! It’s been awesome so far, hope you have the same experience
F150 payload is 1200-2000. Def not close to 3200 as stated in the video
With the 3.5 Ecoboost it is up to 3200. Quick google search will show that. Thank you for watching the video. I really appreciate it 👍
@@coleeades Yeah it's possible for up to 3270 in very specific F150 configurations but not on your truck that's a Supercrew, 4x4, and short box. In 2019 3230 is the max possible payload for 3.5EB only when in a regular cab 2x4 long box AND equipped with the pretty rare heavy duty payload package that brings the GVWR up to 7850.

Great idea! The bins feel like such a waste of space because they are so deep and everything lies on the bottom. Milwaukee is very expensive in Australia but I’ll definitely look for a local alternative.
Having drawers is a huge advantage for sure! Hope you can find a good alternative. 👍
I’ve been using the packouts as my kitchen in my van. I didn’t want to do a buildout that was permanent so it’s perfect for me.
They work great everywhere! Nice! Thanks for watching
Csn i ask a question?why you choose river 2 max? Why not river 2 pro?i jusy need owner opinion.thanks
Simply because the River 2 Max was on sale at Costco for a good deal. I’m sure the River 2 Pro is awesome as well. Just evaluate what power needs you have now and will need in the near future and choose a size based on that.
I'm still between this and the mountaineer. Might do both, but this is pushing me to the Everest at the moment.
If you try the Mountaineer let me know what you think. I had the same debate. Probably can’t go wrong either way. Both have the exact same BTU’s.
@@coleeades the added legs makes me want to go that route and the fact that half my stuff is aluminum now. but I'm sure the Everest is a better deal.
it is important to note that as well as it is for using for camping, the packout boxes get very warm in the back of your vehicle, and the side rails can get very hot on hot summer trips
Guys I'm struggling to find a hard shell rooftop tent that can be mounted below the cab and doesn't take long to set up. Other than the one being ran here (23 zero A3) I have found the ikamper mini 3.0. does anyone have any other options? I park my 5.5ft truck in a low garage and I fear there isn't enough clearance to get it in the garage if I have to mount above the cab.
ikamper is a great option, they make great tents. You could also do the A2, X2 or X3 from 23 Zero depending on your needs. Happy to answer questions about any of them if you have any. 23 zero makes amazing tents but there are other great brands as well
What I did I ran wires directly to the battery so I get power to my bed independently with a switch and battery voltage meter with two USB connectors to charge my other equipment headlamps and phone.
Sweet! 👍
Great looking truck. People totally overlook the full-size for a lot of reasons that really don’t make sense or are invalid. You hit in a couple of key points. Much better fuel capacity AND better fuel economy. More space. Comfort! With a Tacoma, you go up in tire size and add stuff to the bed, you’ve totally maxed out what that truck can do. Gears, suspension, major money. A half ton eats it up no problem, especially Ford. Highest payload.
Appreciate you watching the video! Thanks
Is a Ice cream scoop and wisk needed?
For me yes, whisk gets used often and ice cream scoop gets used when I do peach cobbler with ice cream which is a common dessert I like to do. Plus I have plenty of room for them
I just bought these and was hoping for someone who also tows for some ratings on them, and YOU DELIVERED!!!! Thank you so much and mad respect, love the truck brother!
Thank you for watching the video! Glad it could help
As someone who's gone from a Tacoma, to a Land Cruiser, and now currently tinkering with a 5.0 Lariat F-150, it's refreshing to see someone breaking the mold on the traditional 'overland' vehicle. Topper = gained cargo space, but an added expense and reduced gas mileage. Billie bars and Tonneau = sunk costs and the convenience of a truck bed when needed, but constantly playing packing Tetris. A never-ending game of trade-offs 🤪
Love me a good Land Cruiser! But definitely more space in a truck. Thanks for watching!
Ill pass on a dual turbo v6 in a full size truck
So you prefer less performance or just concerned about complexity? Compared to bigger push-rod V8's that were designed over 100 years ago, modern turbo gas truck engines are smaller, lighter, more powerful, faster, tow more weight, superior at high altitude and extreme temperatures, pollute less, easier and quieter to tow with, create peak torque very low in the rpm range similar to a turbo diesel. Which is exactly what a truck needs and why all big trucks use turbo engines.
@@SkylarRace considering over 100k recalls on the tundra....yeah ill pass my guy
@@SkylarRace 24 tundra and Tacomas are lemons and overpriced. You can buy it if you want I'll be taking my money elsewhere.
@@SkylarRace let me know when those turbos fail and your bill to replace them. I'm a mechanic I know better 😂
@@sozoxd3754 I am as well. Toyota Tundras first and second year failures have nothing to do with turbos it’s a manufacturing error. Fords turbos are going well over 300,000 miles easy with no major repairs.
New follower that loved this video! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
I want Icon on my f150, but my wallet says rough country😂 also my truck has 176k on it. Don’t want to dump to much money into it
Ya I wanted a Raptor R but my wallet said F150 with Rough Country! 😂
This is great. I'm shopping for a 4Runner and was worried about how to do a chuckbox. Really digging the modularity of the Packout system. With this same kit I could put my kitchen stuff in a 4Runner whereas right now it is the toolbox of my aluminum camper shell.
Ya it’s a great system for sure!
I have been looking for videos that show this set up off. Thanks.
If it’s of any interest to you I have a full length video showing this setup. Link below: czcams.com/video/0t_Tuksvc2g/video.htmlsi=xJsfTPBoAbG-robK
How do you get companies to send you stuff with less than 2k subs? Also I think out of all the mods you’ve done on the truck a winch would’ve been a better setup. For example you won’t need those traction boards and shovel and whatever else recovery gear you’ve got. And they can be hidden. Just an idea.
Companies just send me emails and I respond if it’s a collab I’m interested in. Only delay on the winch is that I’m not sure I can fit it inside of this bumper. It would have to be a custom fab job and I’m not sure there enough room. But it’s been on my list of upgrades for a long time and would have gotten me out of some sticky situations for sure.
@@coleeades do they just find your email from your CZcams bio?
@@OutdoorCanadians yes I assume so
Nice setup just be aware mosquito spray with deet will melt plastic
Thanks for the tip
I always go to the carousel of progress because AC. I use it to take a break its dark, cold, decent music and theres never a waiting line. Max i ever wait is 10 minutes. Theres not many people there so its a mega saver for me and my family. Its nice to get away from the crowd sometimes. Personally never experienced a malfunction so maybe i got lucky.
I honestly thought he was going to show how he had a cooker or fridge in those. Don't misunderstand me, I too have a packout setup... but they are modular plastic 'storage' boxes. They don't take on the identity of what you put in them.
If you can figure out how to build a 2 burner stove into a pack out I’d be sold. That would be awesome
Who makes the green bin?
Plano outdoors. This is the medium size but they have lots of options
What’s the offset on your wheels ?
No offset 👍
Such a great idea, i was just starting to come up with a draw kitchen in my truck cap. This is a 100% better idea as i can just take it out set in the garage and have full use of my truck box when needed. Like other comments i read, just earned a subscriber!!
Appreciate you watching and subscribing. It’s definitely super slick to have a full drawer system and still be able to pull it out. Will be sweet in a truck cap 👍
Great review
Thanks for watching 👍
Nice I’m going to check those out Lowe’s sells that’s brand
I did similar on my f150. Ran a 25ft long sae cable from battery to tailgate and use it to run my diesel heater or fridge if I don't have my ecoflow
Yup, super convenient. Thanks for watching 👍
Nice setup, simple is good. Could you give us some info on the relay and how you connected it with the line from the fuse box and the power cables? Looking forward to more videos!
This is awesome! Now I have some kind of idea how to do this on my f150!
Thanks for watching 👍
Well done 👍 I assume that the power from the truck power port you added in your bed gets plugged into the yellow XT60 port on the back of the EcoFlow via the supplied 12v to XT60 cord with the River2 Max? That method limits you to ~100W max charging, but with the gauge of wire you used that is appropriate. I upgraded to the River2 Pro when I got a fridge/freezer and started using the freezer portion of it. Both are great power stations though.
That is correct. I use the included 12v to XT60 cord for charging
Great idea but maybe 9 minutes too long. js.
This actually a great idea. Made a pullout kitchen in place of 2/3 of my rear seats and its great, but def not enough room for everything. I can put this on top and store all my extra crap. Subscribing

Great set-up, Cole. LOVE that kitchen box. Cheers! 🍻

We love our diesel heater! You should consider picking up one of the Coleman ovens. Hands down one of our all-time cooking devices. Not to mention it packs up small. Wonderful for doing reheats on leftovers. We also found a round Pyrex pie dish works the best. Of course, it's heavy and glass. Awesome for cooking biscuits, Tombstone pizzas, and cinnamon rolls..Ok I'll stop there getting hungry 😋 🛻+⛺️=🙂!
