Hard to tell in the pics but is this the 6.5' or 8' model?

OMG! With as many rivets you have done, a pneumatic riveter would have saved a lot of work.

That's a lot of drilling holes and riveting. If you have a compressor, the Harbor Freight pneumatic riveter is awesome! Question, are you putting compression sleeves into the tubes that bolt to the frame, to keep them from compressing over time? It would be worthwhile as over time, that will...

I would look at something like Raptorliner or Monstaliner tintable bed liner. Do it in about any color you want, give you a texture (level of texture is based on PSI and spray pattern so can be light to heavy texture). Very scratch resistant and easy to apply (can roll on or spray). About the...

Nice! If I was ordering up a truck, this would be how I would do it. All the good stuff without all the fluff. Love seeing a manual transfer case shifter.

I am interested in this. Sending you a PM

I replied on your FB post about this. I highly recommend you go get the truck/camper weighed, then remove the camper and weigh again. Get the REAL weight of the camper then go from there. I weighed my truck before our TC800 camper and after, so I know the weight tag on the camper is total BS...

Nice 2nd Gen. Had a '97 Cummins a number of years ago and recently bought a 2000 2500 with V10.

Interesting. I was originally thinking of going with the OC RT but now I might look at the Trail version. Thanks for the heads up on those.

Well, I have been slooowly building up a 1984 Chevy CUCV M1010 ambo into a camper but things slowed greatly due to the pandemic/supply issues. Over the last 3 years my right knee has been getting worse (already 3 surgeries on it) and the knee replacement I have been putting off for over 6 years...

They are held together with zip ties???? :ROFLMAO:

I have heard nothing in response.. sad panda. :(

I was seriously looking at the Ridge model for my next purchase for my Ram 2500 but now I am wondering is the Recon might be a better choice. Figure 80% highway 20% offroad. Hummm.... decisions....

That top perimeter should be aluminum tubing, which is what the original screws, screw into. I would get the correct size sheet metal screws, pop the strut off the bracket. Line it back up and I would but two screws in those open holes, for 3 total. I would add the extra screws on all the...

Keep in mind, Raptorliner/Montraliner (two different brands but the most common) texture is 100% affected by how you spray it. More or less air pressure will give you completely different results. If rolling on, not sure if you can vary the texture, as I typically have not seen that done often.

Hell ya!!! That's a cool scan and figuring out the steering shaft.

Wow, that is some great work!!! Definitely like the idea of narrow framing pieces then skinned with thin sheet versus using full sheet pieces cut out. Great ideas!

Yeah, that is way beyond my skill or tooling. I am very basic when it comes to wood work. I am all setup for metal fab. :)

I cannot give this enough Likes!!! This is sweet and now I want to build on but I have too many projects. LOL Looking forward to the build!!!

Agree, engines might be designed to 3-500,000 miles but nothing else in the drivetrain is. Lots of things start wearing out and breaking. Cool rig though.
