Mine are pretty unscientific also. I checked to see if stiffness was what I expected for FG and carbon hand laid skins (they were, with carbon being ~2.5x stiffer) and for strength I decided that impact... or "whack it with a hammer" tests... were the most relevant, and FG was better than carbon...

JM claims that 1/2" GoBoard weighs 0.50 lb/sq ft, so with glue and aluminum you should be well over 1 lb/sq ft with 2 layers. Did you do any strength, stiffness, or impact testing of the panels?

Looks like a stepvan with mods.

Do you have over 8k lbs on the rear axle? I know most people with a 5500 would, but yours seemed on the light side.

Ya, that floor looks bad.... If I wanted to save it I think I'd slather it with thickened epoxy (fumed silica), and maybe some FG cloth too, and make sure it's sealed.

Thinks it looks cool... buys it from overseas... realizes it has <1/5 the power of modern US campers... wonders if a big V8 can be inserted... puts it up for sale.

Regarding grizzlies... they aren't going to hang out and ambush you while you go from the cab to the habitat. If they are hanging around at all, it's because you parked in an area where people leave stuff they can eat. Check for signs of bear, and human trash. Generally they avoid humans. If...

Yep, my experiences are that the old Toyota hoses last forever. Mice and similar critters love to chew on the wires though... :sick:

Can you describe?

From bears?! Are you ever going to go outside?

That often just makes things worse. Flex and weakness are two different things.

I could probably drag it out until I die... but I've also been using it for a couple years, so... If this is about the pass-through, I definitely think that could wait. Probably a lot of other things, too.

What do you call this? Want a composite habitats turnkey with warranty, rig installation labor, includes subframe $68K, inquire? You'll get people in touch with someone who will sell it?

I25 is the only one I tried. It was so horrendous in my stock truck that if lived there, I'd never do it again. Hope the shocks do the job... (y)

He's hoping to be a middle man on the habitat and subframe... I think. Except for the subframe it would not overlap with EC.

I25 south by any chance? The only time I drove my truck near there was right after I bought it (new) and headed south for NM. It bucked like a bronco on the concrete fwy. There was no speed that seemed to help much, and it was busy anyway... thankfully when I got out of town it was ok. The only...

Angle grinder with cutting wheel, or jig saw. Hole saw for corners. Pretty simple. The bellows to join the two might be a bigger issue since I don't remember how your subframe pivots. For joining you want the front to be the fixed point.

Tesla did a lot of things right with aero and efficiency. I don't doubt that it's fine for long trips now that the charging infrastructure is good. But the issue with electric "do everything" vehicles is still the weight, size, and expense of the battery pack, particularly if you are towing or...

You need to talk to the people who did the conversion... Knowing precisely which models you have now would help, too.

Called waffle boards... ~$250 in the US. https://www.billet4x4.com/pro-waffleboards.htm But I also just air down and carry two compressors.
