Perhaps this is what Tom Hanagan was referring to when he told me last summer to watch for something significant in the near future.
Very nice, IYAM.
just ordered mine with the fiberglass siding, can't wait!

I actually saw this thing parked in the parking lot near the bowling alley on the Dry Side of Naval Base San Diego about a year ago. I drove around it in circles for about 10 min with a completely puzzled look on my face. I'll have to see if it's still around and get some more pics.

OK, so what's the deal? I'm Annie Lennox....talk to me.
Weight difference from aluminum?
Is this a special fibreglass that's resistant to spidering?
What's the % cost increase for a fibreglass versus aluminum for a given model?
Any other insight to get between me and my wallet.
I'm glad my wife doesn't frequent forums.

Tundra & 95 ? Jayco
This is prior to adding 10 plys and air bags. Hitch went from 14in to 8 1/2in with trailer. Rides much better now not much sway at all. Been reading and lurking for months really appreciate all the helpful info in this forum. Jayco had a leak or 2 afraid to look under skin yet just know there's rot there. But it's pretty clean inside and I am going to try it for a week at Daytona next month and see how it works out. Thanks again for all the ideas.

VDJ79 V8 Diesel Ute with a pop-up roof top taj.
Thought I might add my effort to the forum. Custom built for remote outback expeditions. Car has just gone 12 months old. Build was completed in May 2010 (if these things are ever considered "finished"). Rear pod is lift off. Front pod is permanent with all the essentials (batteries, power management, fridges and tools). Vehicle was cut in half and lengthened by 500mm at new.
Broke her in on a three month, 14,000km jaunt across some of the western desert regions of outback Oz. 1800 km "off track", and only 2,500km on the black top. Performed faultlessly. Love it.

Cheers Mick

The truck build - VDJ79 Landruiser Ute
Cheers David. I have written a fairly extensive blog on the build. The link is included below.

"Creating the dream off-roader". It's a fairly lengthy diatribe including most key areas of the build and the how’s and why for’s. Plenty of photos. I have also followed up with some personal product reviews on some of the products used in the build and just how they stood up to the rigours of true expedition travel. Recommend my engineer Marco and Allform industries to anyone.
You'll find the product reviews pretty close to the top of this index list.

I might have a few. That camper has been sold, it was just a bit too small for the family to sleep in.

Palomino Bronco 800 with a Tundra
I'm wary of posting my budget setup following that Raptor! But here we go:
We have already camped 60 nights and put over 3.5k on the odometer. I've taken it to places wood-framed campers have nightmares about in their sleep. But, so far so good!
