With such a short frame, the twist will be minimal. Body mounts with huge rubber vibration isolation may be all that's needed. About 1-2 inches of movement between subframe and truck frame.

My rig got 37s on 20 inch rims. Truck is not delivered yet. The stock tire was 31. How do I adjust the speedo, or do I use a GPS device?

Honestly super singles / the price and available options was the "very first decision point" in what Expedition vehicle platform I chose to build upon. The cabover trucks had many more options than the USA platforms. As some crazy suppliers where asking $1200 for a wheel for Fords, Chev, Dodge.

Front bumper ideas I’ll start with a winch tray in steel. The NPR comes with plastic bumpers, so those go in the trash. Then fabricate bumper brackets so the winch is in the correct position. The last older series of the Isuzu FTR comes with a nice steel rugged bumper. Will analyze the fit

Nothing 1 inch from the ceiling gets wet Look, nice idea in picture below (not mine)

Good point My thought was to use a router and carefully cutout a tight hole so the "face" of that switch was accessible. I could use "stand offs" so the false panel is spaced away from the wires. But those who use the cabinet for kitchen item storage would not interfere by accident with...

I don't see heat, but can cut ventilation slots in whatever is fabricated.

Below is a picture of a cabinet above the sink in the kitchen. I would like to store some kitchen items here. As you will see this cabinet has many wires traveling from the roof solar panels. Does anyone have a suggestion how I can fabricate a false back panel to allow a compartment for the...

Do I understand you correctly? You just lay the steps (ladder) on the habitat floor loose, while driving the truck?

My habitat is getting the subframe installed. My truck is finished but awaiting on the aux fuel tank install. I don't have a shop, so I depend on others. And I don't want the truck to arrive and do the habitat marriage until all below frame work is finished. I had various engineering...

Does anyone have pics how they store the (Alum. entry steps - as step ladder) when truck is moving?

Buyers come when they are (1) motivated (2) your product fits the requirements of (a) features (b) budget (c) the best alternative when compared with other options. It is "c" that closes the deal More buyers are looking for new with warranty Less buyers are willing to take on a risk of repair...

Ground clearance must only be 9" . I guess without the torsion free subframe you are limited to dirt roads without deep erosion. With no high low transfer case you are further limited without a crawl mode. And the video of that MB rear differential cover leaking all the oil due to a mid trail...

The rear murphy bed is a innovative design, and better than the rear twin beds most have.

Cheap Chinese components? - Get real, every manufacturer uses these. Very little if anything comes from North America
