The biggest hold-up has actually been my own work schedule, Bowens and Hallmark for both been incredibly understanding and super helpful. I just had to slide back another three weeks, but I will be posting the story of the drive out to Denver, the build and my long, slow drive home. I'm not...

Like new, as you see it here, for sale for $650.

OEM 18" MACHINED CAST ALUMINUM RIMS with GOODYEAR LT275/70R18E OWL ALL TERRAIN TIRES. Like new, these rims are undamaged and the tires only traveled 2400 freeway miles before being swapped out.

Looks sensational, bravo!!!

Just adding to this thread that Hallmark is doing great, and I have a build date in the second week of October, so will be posting pix of my journey out to and the fitting of both the Bowens tray and the Hallmark unit in my build thread.

I finally have a date for my build in the second week of October, so will be driving out to Hallmark and Bowens in CO from Cali and taking the slow roads home to finally get a sense of liveaboard life. The last thing I'm wondering about upgrading to handle the extra 2500 lbs is the brakes. What...

I have the Carli Pintop set up and it's basically atrocious on the road, as a friend says, it finds bumps where none exist. It may be better once the build is completed, but right now it's awful! I see a lot of chatter about the Liquid Spings brand, which could be worth exploring, depending on...

What a simply stunning rig, I'd absolutely have bought it if I wasn't way deep in the build cycle of my own - and boy do I hear what you said about the time lost on adventures, it's coming up on 3 years since my last trip out too, getting these rigs built from scratch takes wayyyy too long, it's...

My long, slow build story just got longer and slower, with a projected finish date now looking like mid-late September. Since I'll be driving back to Cali from Hallmark in the Denver area I plan to take the I-70 and do several stops along the way to test out off-grid and off-road living, so...

Even though I don't yet have my rig finished yet, as a long time two Land Cruiser FJ80 owner I wanted the smallest, lowest and most Land Crusier-like ability I could get without having to completely empty the car at each campsite. Vehicle feel and handling are super important to me, but other...

I hadn’t thought about losing the rear visibility, how does that system work, is it something Hallmark can do, or is it something we have to figure out? Great tip on those hood chargers, will def get some!

Great thread and answers, thank you all! I'm surprised no one has a heavy lift jack on the list, I got a big Pro-Eagle figuring that getting a flat in a 10k+ lb rig miles from the tarmac would be the most likely way to get stranded.

I ordered one and am still awaiting its arrival, will post pix over in my build thread when it arrives.

I just fitted this fab little upgrade to help keep some dirt off the Warn, and keep me legal from Cascadia Off-road.

Great advice, thanks gentlemen!??

I do have radius arms, and explained to Carli what the build plan was but didn’t know if they did castor or pinion. Is that something that Deaver can do?

Thanks so much for the Airbag note, and CJC did the Carli's several months ago, so far the install seems okay, but I've hardly used the truck since the installation.

My truck is going to CO to have everything put together by Brent & Matt in late May, then I'll drive it back and see what else needs doing. Obviously I'll be following you to Deaver to get resprung, but do you think the air bags are necessary? I wanted a simpler setup in case I do get to do the...

Would you share your alignment specs with us please? I'm just a month away from getting 'Stromtroopered' according to Matt & Brent - can't wait!

This got me looking, and I found a couple of posts about the C-11 and the 'Stromtrooper' rig that was my inspiration for the build... https://www.truckcamperadventure.com/hallmark-rv-files-for-chapter-11-bankruptcy/...
