That came out great. Nice color. Man, that is a lot of square feet to spray. How many gallons did it take?

You likely won't. Good spacers are going to bolt onto the original flange and to have enough room for lug nuts to recess in, 1" is about as thin as you go. For slide on spacers, 1/4" is about as thick as I would ever consider, assuming you have longer studs that allow a full engagement of lug...

HAHAHAHA. It was sure nice driving back from picking it up, in 95* heat with that A/C rolling, tunes pumping and cruise set. Yep, gonna miss that from the squarebody... oh wait, I never had that. :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

Relays typically only use less than a .25 amp, so if you are using relays to switch the high current load, the controller will have no problem handling switching the relays.

Plan is to Raptor Liner the box and I am going to use the tintable version and use the paint code. It won't be identical but should look good. Box is too wavy (worse when hot/in sun) for real paint.

My Photoshop skills are really rusty but this is a general idea (side box pic was pre roof lift, as I only had one direct side view of the M1010)

One of the reasons I bought it. Super clean (like no rust underneath) and really low miles. Been in CA almost it's whole life, outside of a brief stint in AZ.

So I know I am going to take a LOT of crap for this but it was the best choice for our needs. I debated this for over a year and had been looking for the right platform and today I got what I think will be perfect for us. 2000 Dodge Ram 2500, 4x4 with the 8.0L V-10. Only 83,000 miles! Going...

Productive day. Got the last skin done on the box. Actually was easy as I slid the roof back about 2' and was able to use ladders inside to reach over. Got the corners sealed up and riveted. Last part to do is seal and rivet the roof. Getting close.

Having followed the Fuso FG series rigs, with the info you gave, I see them run in the $15-$25K range, for a basic flatbed/dump bed setup (i.e. not setup with a camper build). New years, lower miles, super singles wheels/tires, with camper box (even if not built out inside), etc., you can start...

You could do that. I know Monstaliner and Raptor Liner (some colors) sells spray cans of liner, so you could spray the jambs with those to match the liner on the outside. That's what I have been looking to do.

That is exactly the rig I want. Now if only the damn lottery would cooperate with me. Good luck with your sale.

Another long and tiring day but got the rear and the passenger side sheets installed. Very happy how this is coming out. Now I have the hardest wall to finish, the front. There is not much access to the middle area due to the cab and the A/C unit. Not looking forward to doing this one. Rear...

The biggest key factor to any coating (paint, *-liner, etc.) is prep. That is where all your time is and where a large amount of the cost for a pro do to is, is at. If the prep is not good, nothing is going to hold up. You basically need to sand/scuff, clean, de-grease every square inch of...

Agreed. I have looked at Monstaliner and Raptor Liner and have not seen any long term issues with shrinking/cracking. Most issues have been with areas that were not prepped correctly and some slight fading depending on color. Overall both have been a very solid alternative to paint. I am...

Nice. What did you use for paint?

Finally got my sheet skins for the project. Had a local fab guy do a step flange on the two pieces for the sides. Worked on getting the first side done. Overall very happy how it is turning out but I am beat. It was very hot and getting up and down off my ladder/scaffolding was a pain. My...

Man, I need the truck part! Box and FWC shell is not needed. Nice setup and good luck with the sale.

I got caught up in a deal like this. Original owner sold car, new owner never transferred the title for years, then proceeded to sell to another person. That person never transferred the title before I bought it (though he only had it a few week, bought it without asking wife and wife told him...

Ran into this problem when I had custom springs made for my Ram with a FWC on it. Took it back to the spring company and they added an extra leaf to that side and everything leveled out. It was due to most of the heavy items in the camper were on one side.
