Nice work. I dig the fold out lower level bed option there.

That's a beautiful set up. Love that C30 with the camper on it. Will have to keep an eye around Vancouver for it.

I love it. Hopefully it pisses off both Jeep and Land Rover purists. Next can you find a way to skin the front of a Ram 1500 with LR3 front end? The Ram checks most all boxes for what I need but damn I can't stand the way they look.

I don't disagree with anything you say there. I just want to know why the same vehicle gets a different payload rating in other markets?

I don't buy it on crash ratings. Jeep Wranglers meet the US crash standards but get pretty low ratings internationally. Is Jeep making a completely different frame for international markets vs the US?

"Foreign" trucks sold in North America AND the North American 1/2 tons are a joke. You can buy a Ford Ranger crew cab in Australia with a 1000kg (2200 lbs) payload. It's like they only exist to force people into 3/4 and 1 ton sized larger trucks.

Do you have any pictures of the articulation / flex? I am considering a Ram 1500 for our family build. It checks many of the boxes. I'd like to build a composite side entry camper for the back and wondering if it needs a sub-frame or if these chassis are stiff enough for a direct mount...

This guy in Germany has done some great work on a JK. Nice use of commercial flight case materials to make side boxes in this video. Custom Alucab pop top and camper interior is very Land Rover inspired.

Oh do I ever love this truck. How much did you stretch the wheelbase? If you decide you want around 1/2 that asking and want to see a BC family of 4 touring this thing all around the west I can give it a home in North Vancouver.

What are legalities and insurance coverage of the 3rd seat mounted in the cabin?

It's like a diy VW LT 45 Doka 4x4. Rad project.

I have been here in BC since 2007 and just saw my first garter snake this week here on the North Shore. Another zone to add to the exploration list.

Just found your thread. Amazing build. Really like the Alaskan style pop up. Hard sides really make sense in our BC climate. I have been researching different options for a hard side pop up so we can get winter use out of a build. Will be interesting to see how your unit handles condensation...

Great thread and your videos. Look forward to following along.

LOL minivan with a bed. Seems anything that isn't a body on frame with front solid axle is a minivan to most of you guys.

The offset wall system should make a big difference. Looking forward to seeing how your sealing of the pop-up.

Your frame looks to be aluminum? How are you planning to deal with thermal bridging and condensation? Looking at Aliners used in the winter and they aren't well sealed and bridge around the side panel frames.

Oh how I really wish Toyota had brought these Dyna's to Canada. I need a suitable "small" rig that can haul our family of 4. Do you mind sharing how your import worked for you? Did you do everything yourself or did you use a service. Ball park on what the total cost of import was? What are...

As much as I'd love a full custom camper on a cutaway all of the above outlined will steer us towards a standard van with safety as the primary consideration for where and how the camping gear gets mounted / placed. Sorry to sidetrack the discussion.

I wouldn't be buckling my kids into anything that isn't full certified to the same standards as OEM.
