People with more money than skill might be OK, but I'd build my own to MY specs for a fraction of the cost. Granted, this is a dreadful time to purchase (or build) due to all the inflated prices. Hell, you can kit out a tough surplus military trailer with a nice surplus shelter for a very...

Hey, I was literally just writing a thread about these a few minutes back on another forum! I talked myself out off one for the same reasons a few years back. But now I've come full circle . I don't care to "stir the pot or have to slap on gloves to dump tanks, nor do I care much about...

"Off road" is another term you NEVER want to use with insurance companies.

That looks like styrene, is it? In any event, always test a piece of the material with a dab of fiberglass resign. Because any coating with a catalyst will dissolve styrene-like products (as will gasoline). If it's styrene, then you will have to use an epoxy resign.

Yep, 8-hole alum Hutchinsons.

Wow !

Awesome build ! I saw several of these (2002 Fords with the 7.3 diesel) and was pushing my buddy to snag one. I wish I had seen this to show him (he's going to regret missing out). :)

Yep, that's it !

Slick ! There was a fella on here somewhere who had a somewhat similar cab-over popup. Interesting design I always though.

I followed that auction (twice). Love that truck and I'm super jelly of that trip out of Durango (I haven't been back there in 20 years and I tried to get several friends interested in that truck so I could do the recovery). :)

I favor the Sherpas when it's not just for bumper art... https://sherpa4x4.com/products/stallion-25000lb-truck-winch?variant=14715532443766&currency=USD&gclid=CjwKCAiA58fvBRAzEiwAQW-hzefkcO-xMfR-yKmztxNp8R9Tq-b4dPqgOOGR7NXYHxW-s4yBKjNuORoCfFAQAvD_BwE

If your bus is a Ford, check with Ujoint. Else there are a number of places across the country (Advanced 4x4 in Utah, several in CA, etc. Just Google "4x4 bus conversions" and start making phone calls. *Ujoint is the king of Ford conversions, though

Yep

Love this thread. I'm hoping to kick my build into full gear after the first of the year. For generators, I originally purchased a (NOS) surplus 3500w 24v battery charger. My goal was to only carry diesel. Sadly, GovPlanet "lost" my item and refunded me. But I was able to find the same...

For smaller parts, you can always purchase an old oven from Craigslist, etc. Fire off your own powdercoating in the back yard. *you don't want to use the wife kitchen oven, trust me ;)

Really shaping up ! I bet it's put on a few pounds lately as well. :)

Shaping up nicely !

I'd be interested in the habitat if you separate.
