TL/DR: Gas NPR go with NQR for the Allison, Diesel has deletes available and incredible reliability. I considered/considering the NPR for a chassis quite heavily. One thing to consider is the transmission for the 6. The gm 8 speed is absolute trash, numerous issues/recalls. Avoid this...

Another note. KOA do not allow Ev's to be plugged in at the camp site. Must go to a dedicated ev charger. Recently watched a guy on YouTube camping in his model Y. Had to leave the koa go charge and come back at night to utilize "camp mode"

Not trying to downplay your achievement. Offering shells of this caliber is awesome! However, with all that hard work and premium features you then utilized the Alibaba China (Tern) non thermally efficient "euro" door? Those doors condensate like crazy. What was the thought process there...

50-60k for the 4x4 conversion?!?! I've got quotes from Clydesdale vans in BC, Canada for less than $30k Canadian pesos. I don't see anything that indicates that ujoint is superior in anyway.

Bought a few long lead time items for a composite camper build. Plans have changed and now looking to pass on some time and $$$ savings to another DIY builder. Up for sale are: 1x Right hand hinged Entry door with Opening window 1x Entry door bug screen 2x Premium size "A" windows (incl...

Saving this post to edit later with my thoughts. Quick post: It was fun, would I go again?: Yes Edit: Arrived a day late due to work schedule, check in was smoothe and fast. Basically left to my own devices to sort out the camp spot. 14hr drive south from northern Alberta was its own...

Hey everyone, use this thread to post your reviews, recaps, and general discourse regarding the inaugural "The Big Thing".

To confirm, these 4x4 conversions are only available on 132" + wheelbase for the Isuzu? Not available for the shorty 109" wheelbase Isuzu chassis.

Does yours fit inside a container with the 37's? Gas is a great option! since posting ive met with bliss at overland Expo and toured the 8FT again. I'll admit I'm pretty excited about it. I see alot of potential on an E350 4x4 converted chassis. I'll be sending you a private message For...

It was there, I didn't inquire about it, it looked exactly the same as an awd version with a big chunky bumper on the front, so I kept walking. Sorry I can't give any more info

great trucks! Keep us posted on your adventures!

I wonder if the condensation is enough of a problem for you to consider this: Aerogel blanket type insulation, its completely hydrophobic and could help reduce alot of the thermal bridging around the rim. Typically it comes in 5 or 10MM rolls. We use it in our Oil&Gas plant to insulate our...

Haha yes I heard about some sort of police event in smith when I was there. The owner of the x10 reported the most frost in the shower area, around the Seitz window frames, as well as in some of the corners that are covered with cabinetry. I don't fault OEV as the camper was a prototype, the...

As always @charlieaarons brings one back to reality. The energy density of fossil fuels can't be beat! @Trail Talk I've followed your northern trips closely! You know my situation perfectly (We actually happened to be in Fort Smith at the same time years ago, I snapped a picture of your truck...
