Mark what you are building is very very nice stuff . I am thinking i will wait another year and hope they come out with the two door or cab and a half . It would probably be on the same frame with a longer box . say 6 foot . it would be nice to have fold down beds running down the sides .

Wow this looks like it would be fun . I am not sure if I can have my truck ready by then though . good incentive to get a move on .will the fuel stops have Diesel fuel ?And if i miss this one do you have others during the year ? thanks

Quick update ,so yesterday I removed the spear tire and mount . it was located underneath the truck below the fuel tank . It will be relocated on the rear rock bumper once it is installed . also the grey water tank ran across the back of the camper and would not allow for the slope in the rear...
