Thats some serious warpage. I've had to do something similar (rework) once or twice now. In the end I spent more time procrastinating doing it then the actual amount of time it took to do it right the second time. What gauge or wall thickness are you using?

Haven't got a cance to do anything yet this week besides pick up material. A buddy of mine came over so we did test fit it on the truck again to make sure I didn't severely mess anything up or miss anything. First good luck at how everything works. Very cool to stand up inside of it...

Slow day today but got a bite more done. Added a couple cross bars in the cab over bed. Also discovered I inadvertently built the bed tray to slide forward as well. Started on the big gate, Checking to make sure both gates will work in unison. Figuring this all out with gasketing...

Where's the progress pics? Friggin love this build.

I've got to be honest, I didn't know any better. Right at the beginning I did buy that dewalt 60 tooth carbide blade and honestly it worked like a hot damn. The first store I called about a new one showed me the error in my ways. Glad I didn't loose you. You'll be happy to see this. That's...

Got out yesterday and sighted in the 6.5. What a lovely gun to shoot. Got it dialed in at 200 yards and we were getting nice groupings so easily. Pushed through a road that hadn't been driven yet this spring. Had to drag a couple of trees off the road and helped a guy get his dodge out of a...

Yeah Edmonton is a tough spot, bit of a drive to get anywhere. Some pretty awesome fishing not to far away though! Some of those were truly monsters. I kept telling the wife I wouldn't want to go picking mushrooms again after being spoiled like that. Got a bit more done yesterday. First...

Awesome build, looking forward to seeing more pics and progress

^ absolutely awesome looking set up!

Just echoing the second post, steering components and balljoints are going to be a weak point for this truck. Especially if you crank up the t-bars at all. The spider injector design is also a common failure point. Oil cooler as previously mentioned is notorious for hoses failing and leaking. Do...

God damn! I never would have thought a grinder set on the floor could do that much damage. Hope you are back at it soon. Unreal.

^ Tell me about it. I'm jealous too. Took the wifey mushroom hunting for her birthday. Immediately stumbled upon this 2x2 shed side by side. Then after a few km's we started to stumble onto the Morels. We found fire morels mixed in with some blondes I believe they are called? then we...

Got a bit more time into it this afternoon, Threw the canoe on just to get an idea for tie-downs and how everything will be supported. Plated off the two end tubes and got everything ready for the flip up walls. Fit, Fit, and then fit again, Picked up some bullet hinges, tacked them...

Awesome build. The wife and I have been watching your youtube series for awhile now. Love the quality and innovation.

^ The seals /gaskets are what took me the most time to figure out. I'll be using a p section bulb seal all along the bottom of the pop top. That combined with a couple of latches to hold everything tight in the up and down position. My back was feeling a little better today so I got some more...

Now back to the camper. Originally I was planning to draw the entire thing up in Civ3d or solid works down to every single cut and rivot. A year later and I never did that, so I just went the easy route. I've just been making very primitive sketches and thoroughly thinking through the design...

Thank you, I really appreciate it. That is like a time capsule, very cool. I feel like if I went the heavy truck camper route I would probably want the dually. So cheap, probably wouldn't take more then a couple hundred to get it back on the road. There are a couple companies offering large...

Awesome progress. I'll definitely be following your build for inspiration. What material are you planning on using to skin the exterior with? What are you doing for windows if any?

That scale model was a stroke of genius. That's the hardest part about something one off like this, visualizing. Man I was just shaking my heads at the quality of construction of that trailer. What a shame. I've got to say any of the specialty "overland" campers I've seen lately, seem to be...

Thanks Chilli, I believe I still owe you a beer next time you come through town. OBD 1 tuning has become really difficult to come by it seems. I've been trying to figure out an aftermarket ECM/crank trigger combination that'll work together. I've looked at fuel tech, mega squirt, haltech and...
