Update: Took off my shell in anticipation of buying a new dual sport... Well I decided not to buy it so I have been cruising around without my shell for about 2 months now. Kinda weird at first but its amazing the difference there is without a shell and all my gear. My truck seems much faster and much more bouncy... With the harsh San Diego "winter" on its way, I think it might be time to put it back on...I kind of want to redo the sleeping platform and make more room. 2 people on the platform is a little tight, some pieces of wood have broken and I am much better at building things than I was when I initially made the platform so I think I'll be able to do it much better. Thinking I might do the a box on each side and then have a piece of wood in the middle to make it one big platform...still playing with the idea of it all. Desert season is right around the corner and that's when I do the majority of my exploring.
Haven't done much to my truck other than drive it and reg maint...still on the edge of getting a new vehicle, as usual.
Anyone have any recommendations as to the proper types and sizes of wood to use? First time around I made the box out of 2x2's (i think) the base supports made out of 2x9's (again, I think) and then slapped some wood on top and called it a day.
This time around I want to go lighter.
Ready. Set. Advice.
Thanks!
