You have it pretty close! Most of my angle is too big.. You should be closer and take advantage of some of my years of stock. LOL and would be happy to share. Side hinges on these and bottom hinge on the flip down (going between two of these on the rear wall). I have a friend with a TIG...

Windows best I can tell will arrive early July... I'm pushing forward by oversizing the frame-out and keeping sidewall in place. If, I mean if, the sizing I'm told is right, then this should go smooth.. I shoot some photo's once I have the bracing off the back wall otherwise, it looks like crap...

Question for ya's. Here's what I think I'm doing with the hatch doors. Personally, I think it could be done for entrance & windows DIY'ers. If you can follow the picture, The angle exceeds the side wall in an attempt to push water away from the gap. Again the door is set back to further this...

A little better drawing here. I think you set your angle beyond the door. I'm thinking forward and door within the angle. Thoughts? My hatches are much smaller than yours & thinking 3/4" PVC board for them.

My first build was a foamie! XPS foam board, duck cloth (could have been HF drop cloth) and paint. Amazed me how well it worked. It was just a topper.. Throw some storage in there. then the tent extension Can it be done? Hell ya! My project changed and the truck became this...

Opps.. my bad. I researched .02 and saw the 02 just not the decimal point. Makes sense with the dollar point difference.. Once I find the correct resistor for you lights, I'll post up. I'm thinking of doing the same ones due to size & brightness.

Just as a reference, I buy my drinking water. Often wondered why folks pay so much for filters.. I'm also not full-time. month to 2 month adventures a couple times a year or several shorter runs. Haven't seen a need. You peeked my interest again and found this using your .02 micron statement...

The lights you bought & list on the YT site are the ones you are using now? I know you had an issue with another.. Did you swap the truck out to LED lights? Typically you add a LED without doing all they rapid flash? I'm having an issue sourcing analog tail lighting that will work for me...

You access those from under or inside the cabin? I welded in two L brackets so I can easily reach (much old then ya). The two mid-ship's I did became an issue when removing the cabin.. Have to adjust a bit.. Thinking turn-buckles right now, frame to frame.. Ya, 6 circuits seems over a bit for...

You finally at a point of interior! Great step and must feel real good to be there. I'll have to go back and read again or maybe you could tell (remind me) how you secured down to the truck frame. I'm trying from a eight point secure and think I may end up as a 6 point.. 2 being turn-buckles...

Found a salvaged door clean it up a bit and started into cut & fit. Was much easier than I though, so I was able to get the frame, door & screen all cut, assembled and dry fit in a couple hours! What a difference! Next to infill around and above and final install! Big step forward & looks...

I'm another day into the build and preparing for this trek. I will test, hopefully before going, my fuel mileage. Just thinking of additional, and if really wanted. If I do my build right, I figure ~500 miles on a tank. Carry an additional 6gallons and I've got Lobstick without much loss. Now...

Haven't updated here in a while.. Follow the link in the signature for more details. Have begun final resining of panels in place! What you see for plywood strips is working as clamps, those will come off...

It's a bit airy in this pic. Progress here! Beginning to close it in! Now it's a hard side!

Everyone seems to like to drive up to Cartwright.. I'm not seeing the thrill myself so I've check into a couple alternatives. Anyone been up to Lobstick? Seem s you can hit 53.9N with a run just above. Now that interests me. Cost is another night and within my fuel range, okay may need my...

Costs in both are weird in points. Think it comes down to how much you will actually use it. One has a low monthly if not used. Had to read that twice myself.. Guess that is vs. paying start-up again. If my memory serves me right I thought I saw a pre-paid plan with Zoleo. $150 up front (for the...

I'll figuring about the same distance (~7K miles) covering about the same yet adding Quebec Rt138 to both ends. When did you go? How much road traffic did you see on the TLH? I'm not expecting to be alone much out there and expecting any roadside stays we may have company.. There's so many folks...

If I do go Sat, I'll either go Zoleo messaging (posts location) or just borrow at Sat in LC & return Port Hope (loaner program). For just staying 'in touch', I'll check in in-town. My carrier hooks to Rogers, Telus & Bell.. even if an issue I can hit the Wifi spots I searched out.

Good info from both of you! Thank you. I have to look up these LAAD frequencies for the area. I have a UHF license in the US and haven't researched if it's the same for Canada. My unit can also monitor VHF. I always run with this radio and it will be with me. I just have not found a frequency...

I've met another that travels the TLH to Newfoundland. Picking up more good info on the road. Found he's also run some of the desert portions of Baja that we did two winter's back and only runs with his GMRS & CB. GMRS for convoy chat and CB for local chat. Interesting as we found no one on GRMS...
