Yes, That's what I thought too. I tried it but the laser does not wrap all the way around so I have to move it. It's not too hard to level a tripod, but not when it's on an irregular surface. I'm thinking maybe I could put down a flat piece of plywood. It doesn't have to be level, just flat and...

I'm having a hell of a time trying to get a good cut line on this nose cone. The problem is that I don't have a flat surface to work from. I'm using a laser, but I can't just level the laser to the ground because it's uneven. Going to have to put on my thinking cap and fabricate something that...

Just needs about 2 feet off the top. I'm redoing the roof rack. New solar panel and the wind deflector for the camper shell.

That's great; especially considering your working conditions.

I started figuring out what needs to go inside and room runs out fast.

We had some strong storms through here and the camper shell held up fine; no leaks. Now it's time to think about the nose cone. I'm going to have to trim it down in height which means I'll have to put a flat roof on it. I'm thinking to make it into some type of storage box, but don't really want...

I really like those hard sided pop-ups. Nice truck.

I have flat towed trucks before. Was just wondering why nobody did it.

Just curious why we don't see any off road trailers that have a front steering axle? https://www.wheelbase.net/products/trailer-chassis/turntable-drawbar-trailers-product.html

Yes, Flat paint has a tendency to collect dirt. It's something you have to live with. If you are out in the dust and silt all the time it really makes no difference. Those of us who live on dirt roads give up on washing our trucks anyways.

I'm thinking about painting the whole truck that color.

I'm thinking about that. You really like making snowballs don't you. :ROFLMAO:

Most off the shelf suspension kits are built to satisfy the amount of lift, not the ride. They have to make sure if you buy a 4 inch lift, you get 4 inches of lift; regardless of the loads or uses. They are typically over sprung. The best way to get a great ride and the proper function is to go...

I got the escape hatch done. Next will be to paint and the exterior will be done. I'm not sure if I want to mount a solar panel to the roof. That front wall will be like a barn door going down the road so I might mount a nose cone on the cab roof. That probably means I will have to get rid...

Working in a cramped space has downfalls. I moved the camper out of the garage and into the sun and noticed the frame for the pass through was crookeder than a politician. I pulled it off and reattached it. Will be working outside today, but only after the sun starts to go down. It's too hot...

I got a couple hours after dinner tonight to rough out the opening into the cab. It's an escape hatch so I can crawl through the rear slider window. I bumped it out because the hatch is opening in, so it's mounted from the other side. Also I'm hoping it will be easier to keep water flowing down...

Made the cut for the window in the front wall of the camper shell. The wood is so thin I have to add support to the inside wall. I'll install the window tomorrow and then finalize the plan for the emergency exit/pass through to the cab. I want something that will seal up very well so I don't get...

Thanks! I'm very impressed with your trailer build.

I got the windows in on both sides of the camper shell. I need latches installed on the rear door. A pass through/emergency escape in the front wall so I can crawl into the cab and some windows in the front so the breeze can flow through. I think it also needs another coat of paint which I might...

You can't get much more full size than this. Seen at Overland Expo West. I heard it was selling for 2.1 million.
