V2 is so awesome. Any word on the expected weight of the production version?

NothingClever, congrats on the new setup ... I was very enamored of it at the Overland Expo. You've got good taste!
Thank you very much...I did a lot of homework.
You sure did
This was our first "turnkey" vehicle. We did a suspension upgrade, tires, fabricated rock-sliders and skid plates.
Removed the bench seat and installed heated bucket seats.
Designed a longer flatbed to store the spare tires behind the cab and therefore came up with some really large storage boxes in the process.
This was a real fun build.
Adam's rear boxes with departure angle have been AWESOME on Colorado's switchback 4WD trails. All the difference in driving experience.
Slider steps have been PERFECT.
Full-size truck with long bed entirely capable for shelf roads and switchbacks. Lot of credit to my wife for her excellent spotting efforts.
Flatbed on frame articulation on 4WD trails has been great. Truck tracks like an arrow with no XP feedback once back on the highway.
OBA on both sides of the truck in Adam's forward boxes is a treat. From 46 psi for trails back to high 50s for highway in a few minutes.
Webasto appliances erased any and all doubts about propane versus diesel camping several nights at 11,000 ft ASL. 24F outside, 65F inside poking along in the bottom third of the dial.
From extra kitchen counterspace to toilet and shower in 10 seconds or less = incalculable advantage.
Solar system rocks...house batteries only drop below 13v at night. As high as 14.4v input to the solar charge controller during the day.
Stopped in Gunnison last night to fill up. From stepping out of the truck door to eating freshly prepared & grilled kabobs at the absolutely awesome dinette in 30 minutes. Left rear Adam box is the dedicated barbie box. Weber grill + 3 bags of mesquite charcoal.
Pics to follow.
If it helps you can upload direct to ExPo, no 3rd party web hosting requiredPhotos of all our "test results" coming soon as soon as we can get a decent wifi connection. Having trouble uploading from our iPads to Photobucket (both with their app and on their web page).
Here are the Recaro seats, Tuffy middle console and and ARB fridge we installed on a Dodge. Fridge is powered through the campers Solar system.
