A little more progress. The inside is tan and the bottom bunk is in. It will look better with some tan sheets, but the kiddie stuff is fine for now. The other bunk goes on top of the 1st one even with the top of the cabinet.
It will have wall to wall removable carpet and a curtain hung...
I ordered this shock (04-237) and received it today. The one I got in the mail is two inches longer than the original. I don't know if the specs for 04-237 have changed since 2008 or if it will ok as is. As soon as my spring arrives I'll give it a try and report back.
Just an update -
David contacted me via PM and we switched to email. I gave him a list of plates needed (common M35A2 stuff - no custom, no screening, no etching, etc - just pull and ship). He quoted me a price that reflected a military discount. He mentioned it could take three weeks to...
It stopped raining so we finished the bunk bed frames. They are 2 x 4 boxes bolted on three sides to the bed walls and sides. On the aft cross bar is nailed to the box and the attached through the sides with two three inch lag bolts on each end.
It is very sturdy. My boy is about 150 and I'm...
I thought about raising the sides and sheeting in the gap but -

Made nine more of the extentions and installed them. Only mods to make it work were replacing the bolts holding the top board to the sides and drilling a hole through the bows to attach it to the extention.
I think wood will be fine in the application since it's only holding up the top and...
Probably, but with all the stuff crawling around in the dez I like being off the ground. I also like the near zero set up time and the fact it can hold a lot of beer coolers and spare parts.
It also has a higher cool factor than a tent at Dirtbag.
:driver:
Ok, thanks to Brentzilla I took it all back apart. Keeping the sides in the factory spot makes them the strongest, so I decided to raise the bows. Here is what I came up with in a couple minutes:
