Your build remains my all time favourite build! I really wish I had printed your build thread or something!
Maiden voyage of the self build shell. Lots of work still to do. Different thicknesses of 4x8 plywood riveted to aluminum angle and square tube. It's very light.

Nice! Go and get it! This is my budget type of build.

The Start of something BIG! I have to slow roll the build due to other commitments but I can't wait to hit some trails in Spring '25. Hitting all the mechanical upgrades first, then the Truck Camper build will follow!

Curious:

You guys with the Full Size rigs

Can you list the limitations you experience?
Since I have a long wheelbase, 37 inch tires and leaf springs, my truck turns like an oil tanker. It's not that big a deal in the desert environments, but it would be a huge drawback on forest roads.

Im Steve 32 USAF veteran residing in Phoenix AZ 3 kids living full time out of our toy hauler this is my 2021 sierra 2500. No real suspension upgrades yet just got my torsion bars cranked to level the rig out. 33” tires looks TINY and I’m thinking of going 35’s or 37’s. I have a whole route planned to Prudhoe bay Alaska. Starting from my present location I plan to hit multiple national parks. Grand Canyon, Zion, Capitol Reef, Canyonlands, Arches, Bryce Canyon, Crater Lake, Redwood, Yosemite, Death Valley. Don’t know when my start date is but I’m hopeful it will be within the next couple of years.
