Habitat waiting for marriage with truck

Cab is tall. Funny how I get concerned about the tall cab dimensions and measure all my components to check on habitat, cab clearance. It works out fine. Yet two months later, this concern is there again and I start measuring. And it works out fine again. Hence expedition vehicle builds are...

My truck on Super Singles (9.5 x 20) Tires (12.5 x 37)

Getting a better idea of weight The habitat weighs 3900lbs dry The subframe weighs 680lbs About 75% done with subframe fabrication

That was not my point - read carefully In my post - the wider axles and wider footprint of f550 builds are the issue with the shelf roads. In fact they are so extremely wide that they need huge fender flares. I would guess plus 96" inches wide Add huge wide tires, super singles with a wide...

My guess is; with the weight of the habitat leaning so severe, we would see a different angle on the habitat than we see on the truck cab. I don't see anything like this.

Shelf roads with big rigs The width and a loose soil borders can cause problems The f550 builds have a axle width much wider than most rigs (In this picture I don’t see a articulating subframe)

I've looked at that trend over and over again. I need water while I cut on the cutting board. So that option prevents water flow while cutting.

I ordered extra large two burner propane stove so I can use larger pans, due to the burner separation. And larger sink so washing large items is easier. The compromise there was counter space. Like most rigs I have a fold up counter extension on one side. Yet I felt a cutting board was...

Just discovered the supplier did not follow my instructions on solar panel wiring. When I ordered two seperate mppt controllers it was very confusing for them. And they installed the second one in a location on a circuit with no panels. While running two unmatched arrays through one mppt...

Everything you do with a expedition vehicle has a compromise. The platform I chose was based on super single options, total weight capacity, not too much not too little. Along with turning radius and on frame length. Even total height, based on subframe and mounting height, with the obstacle...

Did I miss the engineering on the subframe used on the Baha?

Nice product but way over priced at $400K, should get that done for half price.

The above are new not modified. Available for purchase just recently A few months ago I bought aluminum rear fenders and I would need to fabricate mounts for theses. Using theses storage boxes, and the mounts for these I could integrate the rear fender mounts and save money by one set of...

Not bad, I'm interested
