Another Boise ovrlnd! We are gonna have to have a meet up sometime, there is a pretty good contingency going now!

what's the standing height on the inside?

I'm out of town for work now but ill try to remember to do so when i get home. it's a piano hinge between the two trapezoids and top and bottom. The back locks with a butterfly latch and the front locks in place with that wooden push stick you see in the pics above that has a hole that mates...

out of order as well... got 3" HD36 foam from https://foamandupholstery.com/ and some green cordura fabric from another online shop. Found a local guy who could sew up the covers and they turned out great. one of the cushions has a seam so i can fold out of the way under the lift handle so...

with just the solar panel, the roof became hard as hell to open. talked to jay about this issue and swung by on our way down to sedona for a bike trip to pick up some lift struts. they were pretty easy to install with the parts jay gave me. attached the ball strut brackets where i knew there...

most annoying/time consuming project to date was the thermal pack. my partner was annoyed by the cold drafty air on her head while sleeping so i got to work following the techniques detailed here: https://www.wanderthewest.com/forum/topic/5269-building-an-arctic-cold-weather-pack/ used velcro...

the strap to pull the door closed often gets in the way of latching the door so i took it off and sewed some velcro loop on and then put hook on the door so it stays out of the way. can also be seen in the picture of the door above

insulated the walls and roof with 1" rigid foamboard insulation from lowes. then covered with a cork fabric that i found at joanne fabrics. pretty cool since it's super light keeping build weight down as much as possible and can easily be lifted up to access the walls if i want to add anything...

(little out of order) installed some led puck lights using 1/2" birch to make 4" strips that then were attached to rivenuts in the roof frame. The back 6 are over the truck bed on two separate strips that all are controlled by a switch on the electric panel in the driver's rear wall. Over the...

Installed the propex heater in the passenger front side of the bed. most nerve wracking part of the whole build was drilling the large holes for combustion intake and exhaust. Make sure to check under the truck to ensure you aren't going to hit anything important. i routed the exhaust out to...

it's been a while and a lot has been done. I am not the best at taking pics at every stage so if anyone has questions, feel free to ask. solar panel has been up for a while. was a pretty easy instal with some angle brackets w/predrilled 3/8" holes that fit the L-track bolts perfectly. just...

Yup, i am pretty happy with that upgrade! miss the tailgate sometimes but it's pretty nice otherwise

top of the deck is 10" from the bed. usable drawer space is 8" tall. I still have right about 6'2" of standing room but i think that's dependent on your truck (bed height) and camper bedding height. I got the extra 2" of bedding height in the cabover on my ovrlnd build which gives you an...

it's definitely worth the wait. fun project for sure and lot's of learning along the way.

Will do, would love to make it work out. Ill be in the colorado springs area, breck, maybe fort collins. where are you located? and probably down there around the 9th of july or so and down for a week ish.

2 small areas of surface rust are shown. Otherwise it's mostly new looking except the usual dust.

I do still have it, I will be in colorado in July and sedona first week in April. Sorry for the slow response, I thought I had notifications turned on. Pics below. If anyone wants to meet up near Sedona, let me know ASAP and I can bring along that first week of April

just curious what kinda gas mileage you get on this rig? more to understand the range w/the 40 gallon tank. Beautiful build btw and as all have said, good luck with the health issues.

i installed a baseplate of 1/2" plywood. forgot to take pics but i put down 1/2" rigid foam insulation to fill the valleys between the truck bed ridges, glued it to the bottom of the plywood to keep it in place. mostly did this to have a place to screw a few things down to and get a little...
