Those DFG slides are awesome!

As someone who currently uses toolboxes for my kitchen kit, those look really cool. I’m not going to replace anything I currently have, but those boxes have some really great features.

Wow. I used to really look forward to you posts, but now I see you’re just a psychopath.😁 That amount of interior fairing is completely bonkers. Keep up the amazing work! (still looking forward to your posts)

@mep1811 Thanks for the reminder on the breakaway brake battery, mine was pretty much dead. I charged that and greased the bearings and swing arm. Timbren recommends greasing every 3000-6000 miles, depending on use. Timbren Installation / Maintenance Manual

You could try ThermoLite board, that was the knock off brand I found. Apologies @escadventure, we’ve hijacked your thread a bit.

Do you have a Composites One near you? I got some Coosa knock off sheets from them when I replaced most of the plywood in our sailboat.

1/2” EPVC (Palight) sheet, painted with Monstaliner. This is a pic from the first build, I don’t have a pic of the newest iteration. Why did you choose EPVC for your boxes instead of Coosa/PU? Do you have a build thread yet?

Having built two truck beds out of 8020 frame and plastic sheet, I think screw and glued ply is an idea that should not be dismissed. It’s cheap and easy to get, relative to 8020 and plastic or composite. And it’s pretty easy to work with. Sure, non-wood solutions are more impervious to water...

I’m on my second build using 8020 framing faced with 1/2” expanded PVC. I still use the back of the truck as a truck, so the PVC needs a little help with impact resistance, it’s painted with Monstaliner. My “furniture” is attached to the truck with the bed bolts and the bed rail accessory track.

BajaNomad forums may be a good resource.

I do, they are awesome folks, very helpful for the non-fab crowd. They have a couple great options for $5-7/ft and the nearest Lowe’s has an okay option for less than $5/ft.

I like that, I’ll look into it. Sounds a bit more durable and I still have an excuse to use VHB.

I’m sure you’re right. My concern is that I have a red/black wire combo on hand. Maybe I need to find some black/black…

I have come across this in my search, thought it was an interesting option: https://www.kchilites.com/universal-wire-hider-kc-6300.html

Is it similar to an Exped MegaMat? I love ours.

Will Prowse on YouTube is a great DIY source, among others. There’s also some thin lithium batteries out there. I think your goal is achievable, good luck.

$120 shipped to lower 48, OBO. Good condition. Includes all literature. Missing square trim ring.

Unfortunate and confidence inspiring at the same time! Thanks! 😆

Looks good. Do you have any experience using these outside?

That might work. With the roof being a pop up, those first edge pieces of VHB will see some movement from the cable when the roof goes up & down and also from wind. Do you think VHB will hold that? I do have some of the “good” VHB (5952) around…
