Hey All,
Truck in hand and in the initial phases of build planning.
We have a unimog 1300 with a nice ambo box in back. I'm 6'6" tall, so Heather felt pretty sure over a year, I'm gonna be cramped in a regular box. We both really don't want an 11' plus truck, so it seems some sort of pop top is the answer.
Our initial debate. Is it more work to cut off the top of the ambo box, affix actuators and then build some fold down hard sides, nettings etc., or more to start with a truck bed and build a Nida core structure from scratch, not dissimilar to what westyss did on the fuso platform.
We'd be saving time over his build already have a factory three point frame to build one, but starting from scratch over the ambo box. I can see advantages to both approaches but would appreciate some insight.
Heather and I both weld (she better than I) and I build surfboards and do woodworking (so the nidacore skill set I mostly have).
We'll be starting a build thread soon, but wanted to get some initial questions out of the way first.
