I would hope that either Aluminess or ARB come out with some bumpers/bull bars but there don't seem to be many companies making anything yet.

Got my notice in the mail last week. Haven't dealt with my local dealer yet, should be interesting.

Don't know if it's been mentioned but Tradesman Truck Tops made by Access Manufacturing has some pretty interesting options on their gallery pages. Probably not cheap but the custom touches they offer may be worth it. I have no personal experience but I'm keeping them in consideration for...

Unfortunately, I wasn't in my truck. I was driving a silver X3 that a relative owns. She'd just flown back from Germany and needed someone to drive for her, and she didn't want to ride in the truck. Spent more time in the car than my brother's hooding.

Saw you drive by when I was leaving Rindge today. Your truck looks even better in person!

You may also get in touch with Overland Experts (OEX). They import current model Land Cruisers and Hilux pickups for training purposes and may be able to point you in the right direction. If I remember correctly, I believe they were allowed some sort of temporary import (by the EPA, and maybe...

I'm pretty sure he made his own mount, but you can also buy a set through Nisstec made by Heps Designs.

Looks like a Rhinoman, which would make sense as they are also out of South Africa.

Lots of good inspiration in here! Hoping to have my drawers planned by spring and then start building. I think I have all the material I need in the shop, just latches, hinges, and drawer slides to pick up.

Yup. In Maine you would need to have flares wide enough to pass. I used to take the spacers off my dad's Jeep, have it inspected, and reinstall because his flares weren't wide enough.

Personally, I'm going to see how my KO2s do this winter. They were good this summer/fall, if they don't work out well this winter I'm planning on getting a set of the Yokohamas to use as winter/late fall/early spring tires. I can switch back to KO2s when the snow threat has gone away.

The Cummins employee that I spoke with at Overland Expo East did not like it when I started to ask about the Chinese connection.

It's funny you mention that, I was planning to go to MSU in Bozeman. Only reason to head to Missoula is a friend of mine lives there now. He made the move on a more permanent basis after a few years of guiding seasonally.

This thread does two things to me: 1.) Gives me a serious case of truck envy. I've been assembling parts for my truck but I just want to get this build started ASAP. 2.) Makes me regret my decision to not head to Montana for school. Like many choices, it came down to money, and a local school...

Took me a couple of nights, but I've been through the entire thread now. Really enjoy the thought process behind your build!

I apologize if I have misunderstood some of the things I've read in this thread, but as I understand it, not all Alu-Cab products will be imported for sale in the US, correct? Any chance that sometime in the future it would be possible to have a canopy for a long bed Navara/Frontier brought...

Enjoying your build; you've gone in a direction that I think I would've gone as well. Very functional but not over the top.

I like the Titans. When I was searching I had them on my list as a potential vehicle but none were available in my price range in a configuration that I wanted. Hoping that someday I can take a look at the new Titan XD. Nice truck hops!

This thread and your truck are why I finally signed up for this forum. Been lurking for a while, hoping to have my rig setup and get a thread going like this someday. Cheers!
