Eric I think I might have told you this but if not I found your new truck for you it's in great shape And you can modify it anyway you want it's a new modular design type of truck. KIMG0453.jpg let me know if you want it I can talk to the owner and see if he will give you a good price. You might be able to persuade him with some candy to lower the price a little. Lol

I am wanting to try and have a full slide out deck on the passenger side of the vehicle similar to this just a lot bigger. Not sure how to implement it though.

Some of my friends have full slide out decks on their Dakar parts trucks. The trucks that don't have room to slide under use a deck that fold up against the truck side. That one is a full deck, the same as the box truck and lowers with a cable system with a hinge. I think there is a Robby Gordon you tube video of his work truck in the shop showing how it sets up. Might be some good ideas for those starting their project.

My M1084 War Pig / Forward Supply version came with self supporting cables on the removable bed sides. This feature is not as nice as TerraTrotters grid deck, but saves weight and is much less expensive! This adds a surprising amount of deck space when the sides are in the down, supported position.

Did you have new glass cut for the original M1081 Windshield Frame? I need to find a glass shop to cut one for my passenger side.
