    Roof coatings

    In my research, agree on the Henry Tropi-Cool coating as one of the best out there. That is what I am planning on using but I have no experience yet, just lots of research.

    Desert Turtle - M1010 Build

    Minor progress. Adding L track to the top and bottom of the rear wall. This will allow me to build racks/mounts to hold items, like a set of steps I am modifying. This will allow me to change things easily if I need to and not worry about holes or old mounts in the rear wall. Installed...

    Ford Transit chassis cab DIY composite camper

    Agree on the Wildlands door, very nice door but the window is just a bit weird but the quality of the door is top notch. I love the deadbolt function and the full screen door, which is bear proof (per Tern's claim) is nice. Way nicer door than the standard RV style that was on my FWC...

    Great White: A Chevy K10 Build

    Nicely done on that e-brake setup. I was just looking at those and the Wilwood booth at a local GoodGuys car show. Exactly the idea I was thinking of. Was thinking this or another bracket from https://torqmotorsports.com/product/ultimate-8-lug-e-brake-brackets/ which use all off the shelf GM...

    Desert Turtle - M1010 Build

    Knocking off small things on a big list. Scuffed and etch primer the rear wall. Was hoping to get the door final installed with sealant but the weather didn't cooperate on Sunday. I ended up installing the six scene lights around the box, two rear and two on each side. Made a drilling...

    Larry's 1978 K10

    Swapping the 6.2 out for a Gen VI 7.4L BBC. Going to put an aftermarket TBI (stock type setup) sinceci didn't get any of the original EFI with the engine. Deal with gas fumes on my classic cars but would like to not deal with that on my camp rig.

    Larry's 1978 K10

    Great job on this build and the repair. Question about the evap setup. What is the plumbing diagram for setting that up? Looking to do something similar.

    Stainless Steel Brake Lines -- Yay or Nay

    Since you have a 2015 rig, I wouldn't even worry about the flex brake lines at this point. Unless they are damaged, they are fine. If you are doing a lift or something where you needed longer lines, then swap them out. I have run SS flex brake lines on a lot of my hot rod type projects but...

    Aggressive all terrain or less aggressive all mud terrain?

    Look into the newer "hybrid" tires, like the Nitto Ridge Grapplers or Toyo Open Country R/T. They are a cross between mud and A/T tires and have really been getting great reviews. Not as noisy as a true M/T (though I have not found the Toyo Open Country M/T to be noisy but don't have many...

    Desert Turtle - M1010 Build

    Not going to regear, wasn't ever part of my plan. Likely will do 454 swap (since I have it), carb at first (just to get it running) and then switch over to TBI system (which is about a simple of EFI you can get). Likely start with the current TH400/NP208/Gear Vendor setup but likely at some...

    Desert Turtle - M1010 Build

    Thanks! Yeah I had hoped the "easy button" with the Dodge swap but since that became much bigger issue than I wanted to deal with. Figured at this point just move forward on the CUCV and get this done. :)

    Desert Turtle - M1010 Build

    I pulled these Hella Rallye 4000 lights off the Ram, when I removed the front guard off the truck to install the new headlights. I decided I wasn't putting it back on so the lights have been sitting on my garage floor. Tired of having to move them to get to things, I decided to just mount them...

    Desert Turtle - M1010 Build

    Last couple weekends have been working to permanently installing the back wall frame and wall sheet. Drilled through the tubing so I could get my pneumatic rivet gun into the tube to rivet the wall to the box. I am using the same structural rivets I did for the roof raise. Also used Sikaflex...

    How to register Military vehicles in CA

    AAA did the RV title change on my old '97 Dodge Ram with FWC. Since I planned to not remove the camper, it made it simple and cheaper registration. Knocked the $190 weight penalty off.

    RELIST

    This is so cool!!! Mega want and seriously which I had the funds. Question about the box, I could not find any info on Unicell's site regarding a cab over option for a truck box. You said the box is 12', does that include the cab over or is that floor length?
