I have a 2019 Raptor and use for a daily driver. Its my favorite of all the vehicles I have owned. Have owned several Chevys with the Duramax, and 5.3. Went from that to a Ram with Cummins. Then to an F150 for a year. After that, it was into my Raptor. I typically own a truck three years then on...

Great looking welds.

3M bubbles-same thing.

Super nice!

Might want to tell those companies that they can achieve R50 in thicknesses better than Home Depot fiberglass. Per ASTM C518-93, micro bubbles in 1" thick panels have a thermal conductivity at .065 mbar (vacuum) at 75 degrees F of .020 BTU-in/per square foot-hr-E. Panels are commercially...

I have used Thermacells (sold on Amazon) as well as Lizard Skin and 3M micro spheres. Lizard skin was an all in one material. All of them actually worked. I found coating the outside (like a roof) to be more effective. It seems to stop a lot of heat transfer before insulation. Given these...

I have mixed an abundance of the micro spheres in floor paint for added insulation. Here it is shown in a camper I am building. There is 1/2" foam and 3" thick insulation beneath the painted floor surface. I live in Minnesota-gets sort of cold here which requires a more thoughtful approach to...

Ceramic micro spheres are processed with a vacuum inside the sphere. Temperature transfer is limited in a vacuum. The sphere shape of these micro balls produces limited conduction due to such a small surface area touching one another. I have personally tested micro spheres for temp transfer and...

I have used Lizard Skin product. It really worked. See videos online showing how it works.

Yup-used a flatbed router. Using dado joints ensures squareness. Required a light tapping to fit together. I am using Southco latches. Nice quality-got them off Amazon. Pay attention to the different thickness of latch. Thanks for generous comment.

I am currently building a 12 foot (floor) cab over on a 19 F550 gas. You will need wheel wells to allow for full articulation in rear. I have 35 inch tires which results in a ten foot high camper. Low is good. Building a lower 6 inch tall sub frame to house water tanks. The width of sub frame is...

I used 80/20 extrusions to build some cabinets.

Hmmm, sort of defeats the reason for pop up campers low clearance height.

Yamaha SRX600. Raced the wheels off that bike at BIR in the 90's. Current ride is a WR250 that can be ridden the same way-even on knobby's!

Looks like a lot of space between top of cab and bottom of cab over.

Got drawers made and mounted. Scalloped out where it made sense in an effort to keep weight in check.

I have owned mine for over a year. Typically after owning a vehicle for a year, I tend to get board with them and usually sell or trade within the next year. However, this truck seems to have grown better on me since new. I plan on keeping it until my Cybertruck is delivered in two or so years...

Re-building a camper I had built a couple of years ago. I removed front panel to bring the cabinets in. However, it can be brought in un-assembled, then assembled within the camper body. With everything pre-drilled and dado'd, it went together perfectly without any special tools. The rails for...

Have experimented with a lot of different materials and combinations. The solution I am working on right now seems to offer the best combination of durability and light weight. I am combining Starwood and some baltic birch for stiffness. Machining the material with dado's and holes provided...

The Ram had the Cummins. Never had a power issue-with the Ram or now the Ford gas. The height from ground to top of roof is 121"with 35" tires. This does not include height of "stuff" on roof. Inside height is 75 5/8". I think this is a good balance of inside height and overall height of...
