Nice design work and nice workmanship! My G is white for practical reasons so I love the stealth aspect of your truck.

Thank you! (Wait, I just realized you bought the ex-Russ/Europa camper.....amazing! Posting on your thread now).

New custom water jerry can bracket in the rear cargo area almost complete tonight...pics to come.

Definitely agree that de-bling should be the first step for any US G owner. Great build!

I need to get back to updating mine as well! Have added Fox racing shocks and the frontrunner Slimline II rack is assembled and ready to mount.

Great build thread! A G will be the next project after VanDOOM is done. Like in 10 years...

Thanks guys!
How are you liking the Fox's Rob?

A van may be in my future too...just returned from UJOR/HD-RV.

One more custom fab'd piece...I realized on our big SW trip that I was constantly having to remove gear from the cargo area to access the FrontRunner water jerries. My friend Jason already had a slick setup on his LC80, so I borrowed the idea and adapted it to the G. Now the water jerries are much more accessible, and allow for a defined "square" cargo space.

Prepping final specimen;


Doubles as a urinal! ;


Returned from powdercoat, including the custom tie-down rings(I didn't post a pic of the WaterJerryHolderV2 finally installed as it'd be black on black carpet = difficult to see)

Professional and stealthy as always, nice job!

Great when keeping dogs in the back, both for exit/entry and for vent. I would like a windscreen like that!

Was able to capture the water jerry holder in good light today. Please excuse the dog hair--I need to now vacuum back there since we're all done with the fab'ing.

Hehe, I actually had Kevin's window idea on my build sheet for my red G. There's a military Kasten that I found with them;

Really neat idea, would be great on the pass side of mine since that's the cooking area under the awning.

I do wish my rear windows were pop-out or slider at least so my dog could get some direct fresh air.

Nice work as usual. Great way to incorporate the tie downs near the floor.

Thanks! Just re-used the OEM tiedown hardware there at factory location.
My big red cargo box BARELY fits in that space now, in fact I had to flip it around for it to fit. At least it fits I suppose. ;-)
