Truck & bed are look well smart.... one idea I had was to add stake pockets for 2x4's to the bed deck. Some wooden sides on it then & you can haul lots of firewood for winter

Well.... I could, you prob don't have 6mths of snow to deal with :elkgrin:

sPOD and the air manifold where the factory underhood battery was



Axles are in! Sterling 10.5 rear with 4.56 gears and an ARB locker. Capped off with a Dynatrac diff cover. Front is a stage 2 Dana 60 with a Powerlock, Dynatrac RSC upgrade and another Dynatrac diff cover. This is my first time running the Dynalock hubs and WOW they're Bad A*%!!!

Looks awesome Chris! Double check that rear pinion angle though before you get on the highway!

Looks awesome.

Thanks!

Since days off are for people with real jobs, I've been trying to use every second to get things done. Tired and worn out, but I only have a week to finish. We've been wiring, hanging more parts from paint, mounted the bed, set the rear pinion angle and installed the rear shocks, mounted the compressor & air tank, and I'm sure there's more that I've forgotten. I'm really excited that its coming together!

Hood grille and F valance installed. Trying to find some black rivets to install the hood vents tomorrow.



Front dual 5160's



Bed is on! We still have to fab up the doors and spare tire holder.

1st look at how the spare tires will fit.

It looks like an 'merican Unimog.

That's looking totally ************ Chris, a simple roll hoop behind the cab bolted to the bed with the spares mounted to them would really finish it off :drool:

Try your local Dirt Track shop for colored rivets.

It was cool bare, but will be more durable like this (I hope!)

I guess thats a good thing!

Space is tight between the camper and cab, so I'll have to whip up something simple and space efficient. On my list for tomorrow......

Wish we had resources like that here! I found some @ Fastenall, should have them tomorrow.

Worked on more plumbing & wiring today, bed lights are up & running. If everything goes as planned, I'll be driving it tomorrow night!

Chris that looks incredible, all of a sudden I have the urge to go to SEMA to see the finished rig!
