Are your batteries installed inside the climate controlled environment? -Chris

Kinda leaching on this thread. Additional question, what about flying over to Germany and finding a truck in person. Then relying on the shipping agent? Will they let an American with a non-commercial license test drive a truck? -Chris

Looks like your selling, just moving on to something different? Is the engine and gearing all stock? https://www.kijiji.ca/v-cars-trucks/strathcona-county/1990-leyland-daf-t244-expedition-truck/1585111072

I understand other projects taking priority! Great looking new garage/shop space. Im drawing a similar sized habitat cabin(16’) and still have not decided on chassis. Do you have any sketches of the layout your thinking about? Any idea of How much rear overhang is a 16’ box going to have on that...

That is something I would LOVE to try!! Very jealous. -Chris

Ah reminds me of my trips down there waaaay back in the 90’s. Good times then and still looks like good times! I was frequently surprised the water would be cooler like 5-8 degrees from my home break in north san diego county. Have fun!

That needs to be a bumper sticker! Thats awesome!! Ridgelines need some ridiculous tow mirrors to be legitimate.

Another upvote for Thuren kings. Ive had the 2.5’s in my 06 for probably 10 years. My truck hauls/works hard almost everyday. I adjusted the valving abit from where he had them set(I added more rebound dampening). Ive rebuilt the rears a couple times(the shafts get knicked and tear seals when...

To start off Im not a fan of Raptors, trds, aevs, and powerwagons.(basically most oem ‘offroad packages’, except rubicon jeeps) I’d get a regular 2500 ram and spend the savings on quality suspension from Carli/Thuren and some decent tires. If lockers are that important to you doesn’t arb make...

Wow! Ive seen a few of those but never considered one due to availability. I dont need to carry that many passengers, possibly trim that cab down. What kind of speed can they cruise at? Thanks Chris

Not sure if Im stuck in the middle of an inside joke or not, but I’ll bite. Keep It Simple Stupid

Look forward to seeing how you incorporate that toyota system into your build.

Updates? Hows it going??? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Very cool build! Youve thought about the pros/cons of that platform and size. I dont know much about the skoolie world, but what keeps them from falling apart when they get all twisted up on offroady roads? Theres no subframe for the habitat. Im sure that long frame has to twist. The rivets...

Very cool. What are the dimensions? And where’s the truck its going on?? -Chris

Several folks have reported this place has good price and product. https://sri-supplies.com/tapes-349/3m-vhb-tape-4618-3-4-x-72yd.html -Chris Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You might check out this thread, its his sales thread but has some build photos. He used mdo siding over a steel frame. https://expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/isuzu-npr-4x4-expo-build.191807/ Hope that paste worked… -Chris

Thanks for the information, and good luck with your sale it’s a beautiful rig! -Chris

@javajoe79 I just re-read this thread twice, and tried allowing along with the Facebook image gallery. Can you clarify for me, you've got Dana 60's front and rear? The front is on OEM leafs??? But the larger tires fit, and the Cummins ain't squatting them?? The rear is a 4 link with coils...

This is an awesome rig, out of my rage. But if you wouldn't mind answering a couple questions? How large is the pass through? and what air ride seats did you put in the cab? Seems like head height can be an issue with these cabs and air ride seats if your a taller driver??? Thanks Chris
