Wheels

I also did manage to decide upon wheels at last. Went for 10R17.5 Bridegstone VSX. Kept dual rears.

I appologize my lack of reply, have changed job and email, so missed that there have been activity on this thread. There have not been to much activity on my project for a while either. Hope to get more time now.

Regarding the Plasti dip. I have reinstalled the panels, but not used the truck. So not much to add yet. Also used it for a roof console I made.

It looks very clean. The result is what I hope for. I'll probably give it a go to this winter.

Yes, I really like that it is so easy to get a clean nice finish. I suspect that it will be harder to keep clean than before due to the rubber-like surface though. Maybe not as ideal for surfaces that are regularily touched, such as door handles. Time will show.
I will do the door panels next weekend. Closeup of the console shows finish when used on primed mdf board:

Will house a 2- DIN navi/radio and some gauges as well as the Ebersprächer control unit.

I don't now what the designer was thinking when he decided for pink/purple textiles. Decided to do something with it:)

Underrun protection test install.

To ensure decent departure angle when needed, I went for a fold up design.

I think it is in most countries. Maximum clearance up to the underrun protection can be 490mm here in Norway.

Its interesting to check out the rules, we have construction and use regs here in the UK which I would imagine are in line with the rest of Europe. One great exemption for campers is that trucks don't need spray suppression on mud guards if they are 4 WD. I spent hours reading the regs but I suspect that if challenged we would fall foul on some detail.
