Coating Color Samples - For the Truck & Camper Here we go. Two colors to chew on before the final decision is made. The coating color scheme will be similar to ER: lower rockers and fenders black and the rest of the truck/camper one solid color. I include two pictures: one is when the...

DBL Designs - Install Issues & Dishonest Business Practices I have already created another detailed thread related to this topic, so I am not going to spend anytime in this post/thread giving detailed information about the issues. If you would like to know all of the details, please see the...

Additional issues after digging into the conversion (Continued)...... Major structural and production issues on the DBL fenders Note: After sanding the primer back and pressing all of the cracks in the fender, all of these long hollow tubes along the line where DBL joins the back and front of...

Additional issues after digging into the conversion (Continued)...... White rattle can overspray on factory black components Note: Not that big of a deal in the grand scheme of life, but again, this is a brandy new truck. Several of the overspray areas are also visible, meaning I'm going to...

Additional issues after digging into the conversion (Continued)...... I know, there may be some of you out there saying come on, this isn't that bad, you are just nit picking stuff now. Get real and just fix it yourself 🤠! Move on! OK, OK. I have been saving some of the good stuff for last...

Additional issues after digging into the conversion (Continued)...... Metal surfaces were not cut cleanly & are a hazard Note: The amount of sharp metal slivers and literal shanks that DBL created by not cutting the factory metal cleanly, or coming back and grinding/filing the surfaces, is...

Issues after picking up the truck (Continued)...... Four diagnostic codes/error codes on the truck Note: Prior to purchasing the conversion, I specifically and explicitly talked with Daniel (the owner of DBL) and asked him “Will the conversion void the factory warranty in any way, or cause any...

I’m going to try my hardest to keep this objective and on point. I promise to refrain from using subjective terminology such as hack shop, slimy, etc. I’m also attempting to keep this post as short as possible, but I know that will be difficult given the number of issues that I have...

Painstaking Task So I just finished going through the first 20 pages of the build thread, changing all of the images from "attached" images to "full" images. Now you don't have to go down and click on the images one by one to see the pictures. If anyone (probably those new to the build thread)...

Hey DM183, Thanks for the idea (y). Unfortunately, I need these things not to move at all. I'm one of those weirdos that can't stand to see anything swinging, especially if it will also possibly create a hint of one of those horrific :eek: things called a squeak, creek, or sound in the camper...

Hey rruff, Yes, the angle will be specific for the fork mount off of the wall, always 90 degrees. The fork mount I'm using has some height to it, and with the additional height of the mounting track and hardware, the height of the entire assembly should be about the same as if the front tire...

The Most Gratifying Thing on The Build I think I did this right after finishing the body work on the outside of the camper. I needed something to lift my spirits and this definitely did................., for about an hour ;):love:! Before After Ooooooooooooooooooh, that felt sooooooooooooo...

Truck Front End Painting So, most of this was simply painting any remaining white visible components/areas on the truck. The part that really sucked, and I will get to in much more detail in a separate post, was fixing issues with DBL Designs work. Don't get me started on DBL Designs right now...

Pass Through / Crew Cab Painting So everyone knows that my original intention for the build was a white composite kit box for the camper. That is the main reason why I bought a white truck, so I would not have to paint anything on the truck, or paint the entire truck. Now I'm starting to pay...

Pass Through Flange Install & Random Projects Finally getting around to sealing and riveting the pass through flange to the cab: Sanding & prep Sealing & riveting. Another one of those projects I did late at night and by myself. DON'T do this by yourself; I guarantee it will be a PITA. I...

Mud Flap Brackets - Design & Fab Now that the body work is done, it is time to make sure that I don't miss any of those pesky little details and projects that need to be complete prior to paint/coating. This is also when I'm on the phone, pretty much part-time throughout the week, trying to...

Camper Fairing/Body Work - Bottom Exterior - Complete Although this was definitely not as bad as the interior, getting all of this bodywork dialed in took some time. It started to wear on me pretty bad again towards the end. Some close ups of the details I can guarantee that this...

Carbon Fiber Pass Through Door - Dry Fit, Edge Layup & Body Work :sleep:...................... Crickets? Alright, time to get back on the horse. Let's get this thread somewhat updated. Part of getting the fairing/body work on the outside of the camper complete, and the build ready for...

Weeks just roll into months on projects like this! I'm sorry that I have not respond sooner Rondo. To answer your question related to the MTB storage in the back gear locker "The fun closet". The MTB/bike will be oriented vertically, standing straight up on its back tire, with the front tire...
