    2019 F350 6.2L 4WD build thread; HPI flatbed, ATO AterraXL composite camper, Carli/King, 37s, 4.88s, etc

    Impressive :oops: I thought only ? Formula One teams ? had the designer and chief engineers fly in for support. You sure know how to roll! Of course, now the reveal will have to include 'pit girls'. But with this being a family-friendly Portal, your dogs can stand in as the 'pit girls'.

    C5500 Mobile Command Family overlander

    :oops: No impact just a metal / fabrication failure:oops: WOW. Sorry to hear that. :cry: I thought that a big selling point of 1st Attack is they were DOT certified and used by government agencies? It seems there were old thread(s) on the Portal saying 1st Attack got their wheels from...

    MB Atego 4x4: ex-fire truck conversion to expedition support truck

    As it is a mammoth truck, and Wolly Mammoths have an association with the steppes of Russia how about: plus if you ever get stuck in a bog, you can just say that you are fulfilling your destiny ;)

    Gladiator Pop-Up Pass Through Camper Build

    Wow, an amazing insight. Ya, that white velcro glows with an unworldly brightness, and I had not thought about how that would attract bugs. BTW on velcro, the 'normal' sewing supply is black or white, but you can get tan, brown, green (OD & Ranger) from some of the 'tactical' suppliers.

    2007 C4500 4x4 Box Truck

    I kind of hated to post the auction link showing $17,600 as that was a crazy low, never will you see such a price in the real world. But that is how the dealers stay in business by finding or having access to deals we mortals can't find or get. The Ambo HERE sold for $43k, so I don't think this...

    Gladiator Pop-Up Pass Through Camper Build

    I had all the seats in my old FJ40 done in Sunbrella and that worked great. The FJ40 never had doors or a top and they held up to the weather and full-time exposure (So. Cal.) great. Easy to clean, and had a great look and texture. Count me as one vote for Sunbrella with the disclaimer that I am...

    2007 C4500 4x4 Box Truck

    Nice find! I am surprised that they did not show the interior of the box, lots of good stuff there. Looks like it was a State of Vermont emergency services truck and sold at auction back in November And even an 8.1 liter Vortec gasser! The dealer's listing for $44,995

    10x11.25" One Piece Super Singles? (20")

    While certainly 20s can be aired down lower than 22.5s, is the difference of 10-15 psi (no internal beadlocks on one piece 20s that I know of) going to make that big of a difference on your 10 ton 29-foot long truck? You will certainly be more limited by the size and weight of your truck, and...

    10x11.25" One Piece Super Singles? (20")

    You might check with @wehring here on the Portal as they are making 1 piece aluminum 20x11 super singles . Not in 10x11.25 yet but they are making 3 other lug patterns so far, so perhaps they will make those? Also you might check with @RoamIt here on the Portal as 4Wheel24 (a great Germany...

    C4500 Kodiak Ambulance

    They come stock with 5.13s (and rear lockers). I run 385/65R-22.5 (42"x15") and with the electronic overdrive (Allison 1000) selected 'off', it is 'normal' around town and once at freeway speeds, selected on, it is 'super overdrive'. And yes, 8x275mm lug pattern is very hard to find super single...

    C4500 Ambulance Camper

    Damn, that is one talented dog! Almost perfectly between the parking lines backing a huge truck like that. Most people can't do that well in their compact cars. Who is a good dog! ?

    With the curtain removed it looks like it would make a great drying rack, especially if it is mounted outside.

    C5500 (Kodiak) - Composite Expedition Build is Underway

    You might want to look at Globe Trekker (in the Pacific Northwest) as their panels come with extrusion channels/reinforcements in the panels standard. Also, their jointing extrusions are aluminum (that have a very cool molded-in thermal break) so a very different 'look' than TC and very useful...
