Looking incredible! Also I noticed that platform on driver side is a little flimsy when stepped on and looks like you will stiffen it up with the frame you added to the outside edges. Nice.
Also, will the scissor stairs fold up and secure in that position if desired? You are doing some great...
Man, that is looking awesome! Can't wait for further updates. I was just pleased that I got the registration paperwork submitted today, will get a box on the back of mine someday.....
Yeah, I had thought about the door idea as well, would be kind of like going from car to car on a train. I just bought 2 black GSS air ride seats off ebay so the passenger doesn't have to bounce around and then I could pull out the bench and original drivers seat and would have space for a rear...
Yeah, going to take some thought. The forward fixed cargo stop "braces" pinch in a couple of inches, so a box exactly as wide as the bed cant slide all the way forward without some type of notch off the bottom front. If the forward stop is cut off, the box can slide forward but limited by...
Gotcha, I suppose you could slap some weight on and see what it does. I plan on doing the same thing, put on a camper box. I was thinking about a custom chipper body box, but I keep the truck in a hangar and don’t want to exceed the height of the exhaust stack which is about 12 feet high. That...
Looks excellent! I was thinking the same thing about an overland camper. I thought I might be able to have a wood chipper box fabricated so that it bolts on the flatbed without modifying the truck. I suppose the flatbed could be removed too but cost of box build probably more expensive and have...
I can't tell you to the inch but I was concerned about the height since I was putting my MTVR in an airplane hangar with 12 foot high clearance at the door, maybe even a shade under. I carefully drove the truck in watching the stack and it barely cleared with the exhaust cap flapping up. So I...
Jon, just wanted to say thanks for the hard work and posting so many things here. I just got my truck and it will likely sit in a hangar until the warm weather returns and I figure out how to insure it. Once I start working on it I have seen many helpful things you have posted and will be great...
Sounds great, never tried something like that but was thinking exactly that. I had thought about making an expedition camper but likely wouldn't be used much, and would be cost and labor intensive. I might have a structure framed up and plated somehow, maybe 1/4 inch plate at most in some areas...
I finally got my EUC cleared, truck delivered. I only drove it a short distance to put it in my hangar until I get it insured. Man, I am so impressed with the condition and the truck itself! I have had 3 5 tons and the overall look and feel of this thing is amazing. I would ultimately like to...
