My truck on Super Singles (9.5 x 20) Tires (12.5 x 37) Note: My truck next to a box truck, identifies the height issues I worked with. My habitat roof line is 742mm above the cab roof, then comes solar panels and A/C unit. Note: Advantages over the Fuso FG is the frame rails. (going...

Getting a better idea of weight The habitat weighs 3900lbs dry The subframe weighs 680lbs About 75% done with subframe fabrication Funny, we cut a heavy salvage flag pole for two cross members and welded them in.

That was not my point - read carefully In my post - the wider axles and wider footprint of f550 builds are the issue with the shelf roads. In fact they are so extremely wide that they need huge fender flares. I would guess plus 96" inches wide Add huge wide tires, super singles with a wide...

My guess is; with the weight of the habitat leaning so severe, we would see a different angle on the habitat than we see on the truck cab. I don't see anything like this.

Shelf roads with big rigs The width and a loose soil borders can cause problems The f550 builds have a axle width much wider than most rigs (In this picture I don’t see a articulating subframe)

I've looked at that trend over and over again. I need water while I cut on the cutting board. So that option prevents water flow while cutting.

I ordered extra large two burner propane stove so I can use larger pans, due to the burner separation. And larger sink so washing large items is easier. The compromise there was counter space. Like most rigs I have a fold up counter extension on one side. Yet I felt a cutting board was...

Just discovered the supplier did not follow my instructions on solar panel wiring. When I ordered two seperate mppt controllers it was very confusing for them. And they installed the second one in a location on a circuit with no panels. While running two unmatched arrays through one mppt...

Everything you do with a expedition vehicle has a compromise. The platform I chose was based on super single options, total weight capacity, not too much not too little. Along with turning radius and on frame length. Even total height, based on subframe and mounting height, with the obstacle...

Did I miss the engineering on the subframe used on the Baha?

Nice product but way over priced at $400K, should get that done for half price.

The above are new not modified. Available for purchase just recently A few months ago I bought aluminum rear fenders and I would need to fabricate mounts for theses. Using theses storage boxes, and the mounts for these I could integrate the rear fender mounts and save money by one set of...

Not bad, I'm interested

Why I decided not to build on this platform I hate air systems and they can cause breakdowns Requires bigger tires and more weight capacity Platform has very old wiring looms and hydraulics, even if the mileage is low Too many technical issues to breakdown such as tire inflation system No air...

I wanted to rent this model, for extended family that will visit. It was my plan to tow it with my expedition vehicle. Would you rent this again?

Front bumpers - bull bars for the isuzu npr 4wd are about $3000 in Australia I need a front bumper and winch tray I look at this one, cutting it in half and sectioning 5 inches out of the center. I need a width of 81-82 Inches about. Then welding it to a heavy duty winch tray, and fabricating...

Folks complain about the huge cost of Expedition vehicles, yet many do not realize all the parts, labor and engineering that is part of the build.

I found a NEW 1984 Chev Blazer fuel tank of 25 gallons that fit nicely between the frame rails on the Isuzu NPR. About center to the wheelbase. The stock fuel tank is behind the rear axle and is 30 gallons. This way I can never overfill the stock tank with the transfer pump, As long as the...

Time to do a health check and analyze the solar panel engineering on the roof. ++++++ ☀️ Solar Array Setup (Mixed Panel Sizes) 🔹 Array A: 4 Larger Panels Panel model: GXNY-6M-240 Specs per panel: Max Power: 240W Best Working Voltage: 18V Best Working Current: 13.4A 🔧 Wiring: Series...

Thanks, I did get the comments I was looking for I guess, it is time to make and eat a sandwich, and listen to a few songs.
