Carl:
I have followed your whole thread and have learned a great deal. Thank you. Any chance you might put a source list together for your second build like you did for the first one?

Carl... Time for a TCM update as a LOT has happened since the last one (you know... Like having the ultimate camper rig burn down, start over and build a better ultimate camper rig!).

Gordon and Angela are emailed and we shall see.

I'll update a few upgrades this week since we arrived back from Holidays in Oregon. I'll work on the master list for Aaron shortly, I know from other builds how that helps.


Next trip, anyone been over the Chuska range in NM? Looking at taking the alternate route from Canyon de Chelly to Chaco. I'm sure someone has found the really back route we are looking for. https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=216896708914626560608.0004cbd13d185a328632a&msa=0 (Tentative mild route).

Next major mechanical step is finding air lockers for this truck, I heard "Just Differentials" may be making them but no response so far.

I happened upon your thread and have been following with much enthusiasm. I am in the planning stages of doing a similar build with the non cab over Alaskan on a flatbed mounted on a FUSO FG. I actually talked to the Bryon at ALK camper and once he got what I was going to do, sent me pictures of yours during construction.

I have a few (alot) of questions and hope sometime to ask you a few about specifics, but so as not to overload this, I hope you can answer just a few. First on your current build or your previous one, are/were there any issues mounting on a flatbed? Anything you have or would do differently?

Second, why did you put the rubber on the flatbed prior to the 2nd install?

I also would welcome the source list also.

Thank you

I guess this type of vehicle never leaves pavement. 'Very nice though.

Carl,

What a dream to have built what you have!!!! Simply awesome. Three hours reading and I have got to the end....it's been a few months back but I have to ask, do you still have the old Rickson wheels and tires from the old build still for sale?

Thanks for all the hard work in putting this all down so we can see it instead of dreaming it.
