Ok, sorry about the delay. Had something come up. Anyway, for sale, and I'm ready to field questions.

This is every one in a camper with bunk beds…

This is a tricky one, because everyone is different, and many people definitions of ‘off-road’ and ‘Comfort’ can vary so much. When i was younger and camped alone almost always, i basically lived in a hammock while away from home, and couldn't have been happier. fast forward to when i started a...

Well done. This was such a great build from the start. What a great trip report and pictures. I need to get back into taking more photos. Glad to see you are putting miles on this rig, it seems to be performing great. Ive been in Utah lately as well, maybe we’ll see you next time through.

Not pictures of the camper, but just a couple cool places i found myself sitting for lunch in the last week or so.

Thanks, you guys are cracking me up. I really gotta get a few new pictures in here. I realized the foam on my little mini couch was way to thick, and made the thing useless. So i changed it around. and yea the fireplace is awesome. The one i have is thin metal, so doesnt hold heat very long...

This is very true, many are overweight. But I have this theory... Stick with me here... That our means (read financial means) most of the time... Determine how heavy your rig is. Its a mindset thing, and a lifestyle choice thing, and not automatic. Now, I'm not making any hard lines in the sand...

Gears and a camshaft with a good tune. Buy from a highly reputable company like texas speed or comp cams. The 2008-2012 5.3s had a lot of variables, things like variable valve timing, and displacement on demand, these can be tricky to navigate when it comes to power adders. But the big companies...

Not sure why he has to be or ‘will be ‘ overweight? Nothing has been build yet. Plenty of great 1/4 ton rigs out there, but he has a half ton. He can already carry more than I can.

I agree on the suspension stuff, buy some good springs and shocks. As for the airbags, i bought a cheap kit on amazon. $250. Bolted on in 30 minutes. Also the kettle, amazon $50.

And most importantly, it should be fun. When its not fun anymore, just go home, re-group, and figure out how to make it fun next time. But Dont over plan, or be to rigid, be flexible, stuff happens. Just have fun.

1. I went with steel over aluminum for 1 reason $$$$. Also steel is easy to work with, strong, and if build correctly, almost as lightweight as aluminum. also easy to repair if something happens. 2. The only suspension upgrade is a cheap set of bold on airbags. They were $250 on amazon. I...

Your truck is a great start. My brother has one just like it, except 300k miles, still drives it. anyway, whether its the right truck… just depends on how fancy you want your camper to be. Fancy=heavy. I also love that jeep camper you posted. My camper has a similar feel, just bigger. In my...

Hilarious. At the end of the day, time is money. I bought a big truck and family camper, love them both, and after 6/7 years, i now have most of the bugs worked out of it. needed a compact camper for short trips without the kids, so for me it made sense to build a custom one, so now i have...

Unfortunately, i dont have any close pictures of the canvass. I used tightbond 3 glue, thinned just slightly with some water, put it on with a paint roller and brush. I put it on as thick as I could without it soaking completely through. Its a little trial and error at first, but I found the...

I keep telling myself I’m going to finish a few things, but I keep ending up in the woods when I have spare time. Hilarious. its been through multiple downpours now, no water issues, and it sure is nice to be dry and off the ground when its pouring.

This is a good shot of the framing before any skin went on.

That is correct. Also there is a little triangulation using 1/2x1/2 angle.
