I’m sure it’s possible, but it would likely be very heavy in comparison. There are versions of this build that are made out of 100% 80/20 extrusion, which eliminates any need to weld. You should give those a look!

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!
@pnwxploreАй 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 $$$

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.

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.

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.

Many pro shops this is a 1000$ task and many do Not use OEM parts if not a YOTA dealershop
Torque spec is 37 lbs is for 90119-10933 black bolts. All the others are 59 ft lbs.
Thanks for this video, I followed step-by-step and now have killer retrofits! I was wondering, did your in-dash high-beam indicator light stop working after install? Mine doesn't light up when I have the high-beams on and was wondering if the bulb is out or if it's something else. Thanks!
Glad it worked out for ya! Yeah my high beam light stopped working too. I just got used to it ha! I believe there is a mod you can do to get it to work again
Thanks very much for this!
So you drive to a certain spot, stop to plane your camera, than drive back....to get a view of you driving there? & video of you driving away: Do you place the camera, drive away....than drive back to pick up the camera, & drive away? 🤔🤔🤔
Yeah, work goes into making a video dynamic with different shots. Most of the time I’ll see what looks like a good shot and setup the camera and drive past then jog back and pickup the camera.
That's tidy clean...
What kind of carpet did you use to line that bench seat thing
Was just some cheap carpet I found at either Home Depot or Lowe’s.
@@pnwxplore oh thanks. Building a camper and almost ordered some pricey marine carpet off Amazon haha
Nice fit and instructions! These ARB look so good on 1st gen. I just picked up one from Oregon City for $200 bucks (banging steal!) so Im gonna slap them after some minor touchups. Look out for 1999 Impulse Red with an ARB around town buddy 🤙
Thank you! The ARB is just such a timeless look for these trucks. May not be the best bumper overall or for certain scenarios, but for the price it is great! Nice work on the find, $200 is a steal!
Did you end up doing two layers or single layer? Nice vid. Thanks.
Single layer!
Awesome build bro!! Thank you for sharing the process. I'm thinking about doing something similar and I'd like to know where did you get that aluminium frame tent? did you build it or did you buy it? If you could share a link I'll be very grateful to you
Hey thanks man! The aluminum came from 80/20 (that’s the company name).
Great video really looking forward to seeing more.
Thanks man, I appreciate it!
Great communication. Exactly what I needed.
Awesome! Glad you found it helpful.
Do you happen to have the info for the 3D prints you used for the little trap doors?
It’s actually a design of my own. If there is interest, I can print some and list them on my Etsy store. highdesert3dprints.etsy.com
I actually have a 3D printer if you still have the file I’d love to send you money for your time if you still have the file?
Tip, tie the additional cable so it cant wobble around causing chaffing, especially around sharper areas like sheet metal edges or bolt heads or threads. There is a reason your stock harness is secured so well in most areas, even flat runs against smooth metal. Great guide though.
Great tip!
What wood and paint did you use for the floor? Looking great.
Hey thank you! I used 3/4 sanded sandiply from Home Depot and just some exterior latex house paint. Still looks fresh almost a year later.
