Making Some Progress (subframe/bumper almost ready for powdercoat next week) One of the non-negotiables for this build was, permanently mounted, rock solid, easy to deploy and retract STEPS. So much so, the subframe was designed to accommodate mounting them. I know it may seem trivial for...

:)

Yup

Great camper with the proper “fixes” already done! GLWS

Huh? :P But yeah, a rock rail / slider should most definitely not be mounted to the pinch weld. I’m ok with it for just steps. Issues with rock rails for this, there’s almost no way to mount a set nicely around the DEF tank that would hold the weight of this pig. Not a much deal, don’t plan...

I removed the Buckstop steps and ordered a set of the stock ones online. The stock ones needed to be trimmed about 4" to fit with the flares and mudflap i am adding later, but the fit, finish, and stability is quite amazing for $300 shipped to my door. This is NOT a knock on Buckstop, i love...

And the AirHead, it’s even better

In theory maybe.. I called 2x, was told I would get a call back, never did Emailed twice, zero reply... So yeah.... it’s a theory basically

Yeah, I’m also pretty baffled NONE of the higher end makers offer bare shells that allow the customer to build it to their liking. I know they make a lot of profit on the build outs, guessing that’s where almost all of it comes from... But... they’d be a pretty huge market for bare shell...

False... the majority of weekend warriors that bolt everything under the sun onto their trucks for a quick getaway a few hours from home have IFS. Because Instagram told them to

Correct. But the OP here specifically asked why aren’t more 1500s being built up... Sooooo :P

Because the majority of the folks that have built up 1/2 tons for camping/exploring are realizing their payload capacity is surprisingly light so you're seeing more and more folks step up to 3/4 and 1 tons. Myself included :) It's funny. GVWR has always been a thing. Seems folks in general...

That is great info! Thank you very much! I’m planning many of the same things

Best trailers made, hands down!

Awesome! Welcome to the cult! Build thread?

Excellent setup and GLWS I think the slide in camper on a flat bed and filling the void with exterior storage is hands down the best setup for basically every reason under the sun. Its getting more and more popular now and with good reason. I had several gripes with my FWC, but the main one...

Exactly! Hey Mods, i think its fair to completely ban Allan from EP since he's admitted to shady business practices
