I was curious if you don't mind sharing the method you used to secure it to the truck. I'm on the fence on wether to build one or just get a 1079 and mod the van. I mounted the box just as the original bed was mounted to the truck. 8 bolts down each side. There are many debates on "How to...

HAHAHA this quote made me laugh. That's how my face was when I got my truck, stuck in smile mode! Very happy for you and your new to you truck! If you need anything please let me know and I will help anyway I can. Eric 619-952-4337

Thanks for the compliment. I think the first time people ride in these trucks they feel they are tall and top heavy. When people come visit me to see my build they always use the grab bars. but after a few miles they start getting used to how they ride and lean around fast corners. I don't even...

Pointman, I don't use Facebook. I am getting as far from the "system" as possible. Except for the internet and this site! LOL. Would love to talk to you about any questions you have. Eric 619-952-4337

"On a side note does anybody know what this wire that is coming into the cab on the passenger side. I have no idea. I added a picture of it and a new one with my cab raised." As fro the wire on the passenger side. It could either be an radio wire or the amber strobe light wire. I had the...

Finally able to log back onto the site! Thanks Steve for contacting the site for me so they could get it mine working again. We had some down time to go out to the desert in the Yuma area for New Years. Had a great time visiting old friends. Now back to the working world. I have been working on...

Yay it finally let me post pics. Site must get pinged when I post issues like above, because it seems to work again really fast.

I will post more pics when the site will allow. I click on the Pic icon but the browse window under "From Computer" wont open. Anyway, I'm heading back out to Glamis dunes for New Years. Its always a great time. New Years is the busiest weekend of the year I think. More pics to follow from then...

12 Foot 2 Inches to the top of the Roof AC. However, the Flag that I have to have on the truck in the dunes is at 17 foot. "that way people can see me" HAHAHAHA silly flag rules. (California, its not all that special. Don't move here.)

Hey everyone. I'm back from the flu and Christmas travels. I have no problem answering questions that people have. It is however easier for me to text or talk over the phone as I am not always near a computer with connectivity. Its better to text me first and let me know if your calling me. As I...

Finally able to get back and post the pic of the bushing with the part number on it. This bushing is a blank bushing with only a hole in it that fits our sway bars. If you use it you will need to turn it down on its outside to make it fit. Use it if you want to pay 30 bucks for two of them and...

I cant get a pic to post right now. The browse window wont come up to load the pic. If you go back through my posts and look for sway bar bushings you can see them there. I bought them from my semi truck parts shop called San Diego Friction or Wetmores. they will send them to you I'm sure They...

Morning all, Let me start out by stating if you are a purist, you may want to go run and hide in a closet for this. I am not a purist. I am function over form on my truck. Not looking to get $$ taken out of my pocket for a correct NSN part from a few dealers that control the market, when there...

It was great having you two down to look at the truck. I hope I helped catch the "bug".

I talked to a company that manufactures FRP. Thay told me that I shouldn't use it in an RV as it will see very different temp ranges as it will expand and contract up to 1/2 inch. They said in a home that stays stable in its temps it is fine. But they said you may deal with buckling walls. There...

I don't have time line yet. Plan on working maybe 2-3 more years and then go. But I reserve the right to punch out of work at any moment. LOL

Try and find an RV dismantler in your area if possible. I use Stardeck industries in Corona Ca. they are 35,000 sqft of new used and very cheap. pennies on the dollar! I have no affiliation except to buy from them. Reg RV dealers will bankrupt you buying parts.

I built the floor section mounted on the truck and then removed it to finish. Didn't want to buy scaffolding or fall and break a hip at my age! LOL

Hey Michael! Thanks! yes I use it every week. next week I will be out in the mountains working and will stay in it the whole week. Going to meet with another couple Friday and let them see it. Hopefully they will catch the bug also.
