Hi Guys, I’ve recently purchased a used Unicat / MAN combo from Germany and am very pleased with it. I’ve been around many of the North American rigs and manufactures of camper boxes and thought about all of them as options. Except for the idea of building one out myself, I’d certainly...

Way to go! We met last year at northwest overland expo talking Arctic travel and this very trip. I did it the camperized 40 series Landcruiser. Have fun, go in the ice cave deep freeze❄️ Looks like crazy warm weather for you! Keep the pics coming.

This thing is probably getting a bit tired, but very nice none the less! No Affiliation, http://vancouver.craigslist.ca/bnc/rvs/5098842162.html

For those who have not checked out this site, do it! The Trans Canada Adventure Trail is crazy! and its in our backyard. It is on my "to do" list and have begun completing legs of it in my truck.

Self supporting Awning So I had built a homemade awning for this truck some time ago. It was a piece of tubing with a tarp on it through the middle of a 3" pvc pipe (with a slot cut in it) and a socket on the end to wind up. It worked OK, but I was never happy with it. It needed either trees...

Thanks for the comments. The best part about this shelf (and actually most of the truck) was that all the bits for the shelf did not cost anything All of the pieces were re-purposed items I already had. Hinges from previous job, plastic / foam board from a fellow throwing out the piece and...

Here is a finished product

During my trip to the Arctic I made a list of things that I felt would improve the truck on the longer trips. This past trip in particular was heavy on the gear given the remoteness and cold temperatures. We ended up using the floor for much of our cold weather clothing and boots and then used...

tire sizes I was going through some pictures the other day and I thought I would post a few. First picture shows my truck with my new skinnies on the rear. (Dunlop 7.50 R 16 on split rims.) This was a new combo for me and I loved the look, but miscalculated how much less side-wall strength...

Lesotho Its great to see Lesotho on this forum! I couldn't agree more about how beautiful the landscape is, and how fantastic the people are. Thanks for putting a smile on my face.

A Very cold morning in Tuktoyuktuk! The scale of the North is HUGE! This was taken out on the Beaufort Sea.

A Quick drive up to Tuktoyuktuk Just Got back from a whirlwind 8000 km trip up to the Arctic Ocean in my 40 series. Drove through BC, Yukon, and into the NWT on the Dempster, Mckenzie and Beaufort Sea ice roads. End of the road was Tuktoyuktuk. Travel / Vehicle preparations were minimal as...

Thanks guys. Ray, way to go this year at NW Overland! My first time, my son and I loved it. We have been recommending it to everyone we know! We will be back next year for sure! What a great venue to get motivated and drum up so many ideas. Cant say enough good things about it.:wings:

Few years back, winter camping in BC Whipsaw trail - BC

Thanks guys, I appreciate the comments. I really do enjoy the truck, but as with any build, it could always be bigger, faster, better etc. No build ever does it all. This truck has checked my boxes of low cost fun that I didn't have to worry too much about. so far so good :) There will be...

Here is the outside table Once the table is down, the propane tree extends out of the locking trap door that is in the side of the rear external aluminium storage box. It allows me to set up my lantern up high, stove, BBQ and hot water on demand on the exterior table. Works pretty good...

Here is how the "main" bed works

Here are a few interior pictures. finally took some;) Table up / table down The rear box / seat is used for a seat in travel and camping, it also folds down for luggage storage, has a huge gear storage under it and turns into a really great bed.

Hi guys, No build thread, but I will try and post a few more pictures As far as being top heavy, it is not too bad, I feel very comfortable on the street, and choose my line off road slightly more conservatively. Most of my weight is down low, and I have added new leafs to the rear (looking...
