Thanks for the information. We'll see how this plays out next Spring. I am talking to a local graphics company about a wrap.

It's a great forum and source of expedition information. I've been here since I started building a JK for 8 years, now my 05 F450 service body and pop-top camper. Enjoy [emoji481]

Welcome. Beautiful setup.

Thanks!! The tire is a solid rubber handcart wheel from Home Depot. The rubber "cone" that came with the kit is too small for the 10 lug rim center hole. I needed something rubber, approx 8" diameter, for the t-handle to push against. Removed the wheel's bearings, and perfect center opening...

Today's upgrade: Removed the spare tire from the passenger side front service body cabinet. Used a Tiregate truck bed tire mount to move the tire to the rear of the service body. Inside the cabinet; tire mount plate. Tire mounted by stout T-handle. Tire weight supported by the bumper...

Need mileages first

Nice setup and pics Nate.

Time, we all seem to battle with that portion. [emoji31]

Lighting update. Added 2 affordable, off brand, 96W LED lights to the ARB bumper. Extremely bright. Very happy. Moving these VisionX 8 LED lights to side/campsite lighting.

Thank you!!

Great move to go with the service body. Love ours.

Will do. I had half of my old 91 Suburban sprayed for $1000 with Speedliner. Pricing has gotten crazy.

Stopped in a Line-X for a quote to spray the cab rocker panels and full sides of the service body. $2500 for black, $3000+/- for color matched to the light grey leather interior. INSANE!!!. That's not happening.

Location?

Nice!! Service body truck ******!!

I am really happy with this type of setup. The storage is irreplaceable; not wasted solid panel as in a regular pickup. I would buy the same setup all over again without any hesitation. It is an extremely comfortable truck to drive long distances; and low profile. It made 3500 miles in 9...

Thanks!! Agree on the lights being in a poor location. I have never put lights under a bumper. Considering moving them to a side mount position, using for lighting up both sides when needed. In time the truck will get a 2-3" lift and 35s, for some trail ground clearance.

I definitely feel lucky to have found this setup. It is exactly what I would have built if I hadn't spent 8 years building a JK. I will look into the Kelty stuff. Thanks for the heads up. Sounds like a very good option.
