Not concerned thanks However, when I air down, I will keep the speeds low. At my age, i'm fine if the trip takes longer. Since the articulation is still of concern to me, more so because of the cab over bed. I'm going to avoid those deeper ruts. Ground clearance is a big part of off-road...

Thanks i'll be underweight . The rating on the rear is 3970 lbs a tire. So 7940 lbs on the rear. By manufacturers spec. Currently I'm at 1800 kgs with the habitat "dry" - this is according to manufacturer A tire marked "128Q" has a load index of 128, meaning it can support a maximum load of...

Security device I look at (This slides around the leaf spring and slides through a wheel with a ventilation whole) Or some similar fabrication

These are the tires I bought Is anyone running this tire? Lots of advice here - http://www.trucksupersingles.com.au/tyres.html

Security installations What do other folks do? I have a few plans. Yet I want to do more Risks Bad people Rig theft Rig items small theft Wild animal damage

NO - NOT CORRECT

The FTR is really cool - Wish I could afford it (i'm going to do mine in a nose wrap like this in the habitat color)

BTW, gearing is matched to the OEM rear axle. Both Diesel and Gas are different. And the NPR HD is different than the NRR to my knowledge Bolt pattern on all fours is stock Isuzu

I'm about 90% done Were building the subframe now. I prebuilt all six spring mounts. When it sits on the truck frame we will be done by days end. Wish I knew how to lift the habitat on the truck frame without a crane.

Early in the thread i was going to do this with a California shop. Using both f450 axles. When adding up the prices, labor ect. It was cheaper, but not by much. And the risk of issues along the way obvious. I liked the warranty. With all of our rigs, many options are available. I choose to...

I bought the front locker and 5 super single rims in addition. Later I will upgrade to king shocks.

Not mine or made by this company That model has a Australian layout and mine is USA layout This model is a full two feet higher off the ground than mine More designed for a FUSO than a Isuzu frame That model is not made for subframe mounting, rather flatbed The truck cab clearance is much too...

Wish I could find out. I have a picture, not more

Still missing a mount for the high lift jack and traction boards. Shovel too.

Now that I continue to plan the last items on the habitat, I think about what I would do differently if I did this again. Nothing is ever perfect and there is always compromises. I worked hard to get the total height as low as possible and still sleep above the cab. The total length is about...

Curious, what is the entry door sill distance to the ground?

To support more weight than surface bonding a alternative is possible. A welded fabrication off the subframe as a basis (or floor) to mount the bottom of the ladder could be scoped.

I am not a DIY builder and therefor there are limitations to what I can preplan for. We did a great job on the floor and a layer of frames for a superior subframe attachment. No modification to the internal panel construction was available. I could guess the composite panels were purchased by...

Aluminum 2 3/4" thick platform $109 was a great price for 24 x 36 For strength and attachment to the slides, I boxed it in with a steel 2x2 x 1/8 angle iron frame. I found a aluminum plate 24 x 36 with FRP total thickness of 1/8 for a top

The steps I start with I remove the back legs and hoop handle. $219 was a great price for 20 inch width
