indeed!

I have been thinking the same thing! Need one of those racks!

Yesterday I modified some new clearance lights from Tractor Supply to work with my bulbs and housings. I think they came out really nice. Also I added a 29$ HDTV antenna to have tv to entertain on rainy days. I was very surprised with how well it worked! 40 digital channels and the picture...

This is great! Ill be following along!

Sooooo whats everyones opinion on tuning? Should I tune what is a virgin 7.3 with a solid tune company like DP tune or SCT? I tuned my last ambo 6.5 chevy which made it a completely different animal. But I am hesitant to tune such a cherry original motor. I dont want anything crazy but i do...

Some other things... Ill echo what everyone has said about rollers get a bunch, also get some of the 2" ones for the tight areas. Just like any job its only as good as your prep which is something I hate and will shortcut sometimes, like not taking off the mirrors, door window rubbers, etc...

I have done several ambo builds with the Monsta and overall I like the results. Like Brian just said you CANT be to concerned with absolute perfection. Monsta is great generally but it does like to "set up" rather quickly and you can get the bits of roller in the paint and there seems to be no...

Thanks Patoz! Mundo.. I dont ever really see this rig being used where there will be moderate to hard off road. Fire trails, BLM land, national parks etc... Im realistic with the size, weight, and overall desing intention of the base rig. I dont think the flex in the frame would bother the...

Well today pretty much wraps up the exterior as far as paint is concerned.. I still have some touch ups to do but all in all shes finished. I painted the wheel arches, wheels, and touched up some. I am pleased

Today I was able to paint the grill, light surrounds, bumper, and diamond plate... I think it looks great!

I did the monsta on the last ambo on the box and was just a lot of surface area to cover with the tiny roller they give you, which is a special roller. I found it difficult to cover that much surface before the monsta was setting up to much to use. Especially this time around.... something was...

thanks! only the cab is done in the Monstaliner and that is one gallon which is good for the cab and front of box. When you buy you need the gallon, and then you pick the color you want. Mix it up as the directions state and roll it on. It took about 8 hours total to prep, tape, and paint...

thanks! yeah that bumper is pretty sweet.. Its gonna be going black like the rest of the diamond plate.

Painted the rest of the box today. Color matched the monstaliner and it came out nice! Have some finish work to do but its looking good!

Yea its wet.. I gave it a light misting which they say lets the paint set up quicker. Monsta is a truck bed coating and has a texture but it is not rough like linex, and raptor. I have done 4 ambos with it and it looks pretty good in my opinion. There are some spots where the finish is not...

Dang that looks really similar to my current build. Mine is a 97 with 10k original miles. I also went with the wainscot on the inside. Looking sharp.

I remember seeing this here on the east coast.. wasnt this a 2wd van? This ad says "AWD automatic" which obvi is not correct

Monstaliner is on "Desert Sand" I think it looks pretty good. The quality of the application was not as high this time around but I think all in all Im happy with the way it came out. Im not sure if they changed something but even with a low humidity day it seemed like it wanted to "set up"...

Patoz, thanks for commenting. You have posted on a few of my other builds and I appreciate it. I think I will just go ahead and make up a cable with the unit that is already in it. I think Also, I have decided to paint it with monstaliner again. I have prepped the cab for paint as of...

Thanks! Yea I had never done the wainscot before and I think it came out really nice. I have to do some finishing work still but it looks good thus far.... Man that is a major bummer about the trans! What happend? You gonna do a "built" trans or just go back to stock? Im still debating on...
