Thank you very much for the kind words sir!
Kind of what i was thinking, thanks!
Thank you again!
This build is mostly being dictated by things i've found over the years that i didnt think worked well, or that i simply didnt like. This is 6-7th build in about 20 years, and i've learned a...
The folks that linger on here whose passion is searching ads to simply call out missing details are going to be stumped with this one!
Bravo!! Beautifully done!
For the folks bashing the "new diesels and all their problems"
Check out the TFL YouTube regarding the 7.3 gasser everyone had a ********** for and their thoughts on the issues that are keeping it out of service with unavailable parts that cant get their hands on to fix it...
Just Saying...
All...
Thanks man!
No. I had never planned to have someone else build out the inside. Maybe have some friends assist, but i have been planning on doing it mostly myself from the get go.
@Trikebubble even though some folks talk ********** about duallys Offroad, there’s several folks with them that live in Alaska and travel 10x more than we do without issue.
I’m not 100% opposed to possibly switching back to dually at some point for more long distance, less off road oriented trips
Yeah, but the same stale ignorant arguments over and over get pretty stale. :)

A little burnt out on the build and lack of use, so i mounted some stuff ghetto style to get out there and enjoy it for a bit.
I have the next week off, so going to hit the road to AZ and UT.
New Video Up:
Happy to share, that's what these build threads are all about.
A lot of folks earlier in this thread arguing specs/numbers on paper (which a lot of folks here have a funny habit of doing) versus real world stuff, etc...
I decided to do a video of actual use and you can simply tell from the...
Could also use an ANL fuse holder to step it down, which was my original plan until I read their specs. They recommend the fuse, so you kill 2 birds with one hammer
It was part of my decision for sure. The difference is pretty substantial
I have a detailed clip on one of my YouTube videos and it’s pretty mind boggling. It turns tighter than my Tundra did, no doubt.
The numbers and specs you see online on the body builders guide and such are for a DRW...
The manual recommends 6awg for runs up to 25ft. Which was a bit surprising, but they have been around a long time and are likely a lot smarter than me.
My run is about 12 feet, and i used 4awg because i had a bunch of it.
4awg with Ferrule connections at the end of the wires fit a bit snug...
This is actually what i am planning as well. Its better used space under the dinette than in overhead cabinets in that particular area at the dinette IMHO
Since you asked... If possible, build the shell first and buy all the components you want/plan to use before committing to an interior design.
Small hiccups will creep up and thing are likely to be moved around.
Example: The way my subframe was built, I had literally ONE place I could mount...
