Stormtrooper Build Thread

Froli now makes a much easier to assemble, OEM system for under the mattress. It's warmer, comfier, and mitigates condensation. You can get that as a Hallmark option now.

We started with 67 Designs, but they just squeaked to much. ProClip to the rescue!

**************! more pictures the better of that awesome truck and bed combo. I hope that bed cost a fortune because that looks like it took some serious time and skill to fabricate. I built a bed around my four wheel camper like that in theory but that thing is in a different league of elegance. A straight side shot picture would be appreciated to see the look of the long bed on a swb. Thanks

My first suspension guy "fixed" the droopy rear with bags. I knew that wasn't the fix, but I also knew they'd come in handy for leveling, but more importantly, stiffening up the downhill side if things get a little tippy. Daystar Cradles.

Finally, studded snows on wheels. The Duratracs may not be Hakkapeliittas, but they smoke the Toyos in the snow, slush and Ice.

And...ACTION!

That bed is amazing. It can't be easy to come up with such a useful design that still looks good.

It’s an elegant and very functional solution to a problem for sure. Plus…it looks cool. ?

Funny you mention that. I had Duratracs on my previous truck and went with Toyo AT3's this time round.
I thought the Duratracs seemed to handle the Alberta winter roads better than the Toyos as well. Honestly I'm not overly impressed with the AT3's.

Were yours studded too? It's night and day. In slush, the Toyos are scary!
