Wow. Those things are cool! That's some wheelbase. I had a neighbor who worked at an IH; his whole family drove nothing but IH trucks. Their driveway looked like a Scout used car lot... Always liked those trucks.
Here's 1 2-dr and 2 4-drs sort of near you...

My 1995 Samurai is a 5 speed. I tow it with a Blue Ox Aladdin tow bar, connected to the two Blue Ox tow bar tabs I had installed on my ZOR front bumper. I used a Blue Ox tow bumper bar, prior to having the current bumper made. No supplemental braking, although I'm considering it. The Sprinter...
I tow a Sami behind our Sprinter; the Sami only weighs 2100 pounds, so it tows pretty well within the limited towing capacity of the Sprinter.
It has been surprisingly handy and capable for the three of us; even my wife admits it has been a pretty useful addition. That's high praise, indeed...
I thought it was 50K... Jim might be having some trouble keeping up. His area of CT got slammed pretty bad with this last snowstorm, and left most of northwest CT in the dark...
I would say this is easily one of the most innovative camper designs I've seen in a long, long time. I did a stint on submarines, so I can vouch for compact sleeping arrangements. The convenience of not having to set up and tear down sleeping quarters cannot be underestimated. You managed to...
In the "For Sale" section right now, is an unbelieveable Land Rover 109, rebuilt by a collision shop owner. For his engine, he used something called SEM Rust Shield. Looks great; I would think as a shop owner, he would know what works...
What about hinging them from the bottom? That way, they can act as a table or workbench when supported by a cable, and if you need to open them 180 degrees, just slip off the cable, like the tailgate of a pickup truck.
With your lightweight construction, lifting them to close wouldn't be an...

Are you kidding me??? You finally have a truck that will last you the rest of your life, and that you've put heart and soul into, with your meticulous research and incredible talents.
Damn, if it was me, I'd sell everything else, and keep this.
I wish it were a little more in my price...
Those German Rotel busses always catch my eye when I see one. Never been in one, but the concept is kindo of cool, like an ExPo vehicle for you and ALL your friends...

Great work, Jeff!
I keep meaning to ask you about doing the TAT in a truck... Seeing that you've done the trail, how capable of a truck does one need to do it?

How does that interface with the awning? Does it slide into a track on the front of the awning?
The reason I ask is that I have a Fiamma awning which has a track on the front. This looks like it might work with my awning as well...
Well, regarding white and dirt...
Frankly, I've always been amazed how white seems to "hide" dirt. As in, I didn't realize just how dirty something was until I washed it.
The bottom part is what's going to get the most dirty. I would think grey would hide that better than black.
However...
