Diving in Head First!

By cutting the rear of the subframe off at 45 degree angles I was able to move the spare tire forward 4 inches from the picture above!! These little details are hard to sort out in the planning stage. You haven't lived until you have cut two 3" x 10" 1/4 inch thick box frame rails at a 45 degree angle with a sawzall. Wrapping up for the day. Back at it tomorrow!

I think you're going to win the turning radius contest. :sombrero:

I did not mention it previously, but that second step out of the camper is a bit of a doozie. :Wow1:
I guess that it's not that important, as it's not on your list.

It really is a problem! But one that I don't have time to tackle at the moment. Will be bringing a ladder on this trip.:REAdvRockClimber:

Inching closer to departure. Rear bumper done. Frame ubolts tightened and double nutted. Extra wires removed from dash. Looks like Tuesday departure likely at this point. Overland Expo or bust!

I assume that this was "structural" cardboard. :sombrero:

That's the stuff to use when you're homeless, right? :ylsmoke:

Enjoy the trip!
I am sure that there will be many people at OvEx that will be very interested in looking over your truck.
On the plus side for you... I am guessing that there will not be that many people getting an inside tour, unless they bring their own ladder.

Have a great time.

Keep us up to date on the trip with plenty of pictures.
