I got to see this setup a few weeks back. It's a great rig. If we hadn't decided to go with Overland Adventure Truck building us a new camper, we were strongly considering buying this one.

I can't even tell you how much better life is with those ambulance doors off the back than a traditional tailgate and swing up topper door. So much easier getting in and out. I'm really digging the Snugtop Outback.
Progress on the bed build
I'm using 3/4" shop-grade birch ply. This stuff is pretty cheap - $55/sheet - and really light but the A surface is really nice. These sheets aren't cabinet grade so they have some twists and wiggles to them. As I assemble the carcass, I have to convince the sheets to...
