    . Looks like fun was had. Nice looking scenery too... And a good turn was done as well.

    . Not exactly a glowing report. Not exactly the cheap alternative either. Maybe we need to call "Joe" and ask for a better deal.

    . Here is the Ultimate Tilt mechanism! I didn't bother to do any real research. I spotted one though out in front of the car wash down in the big city of Monroe, NC. On a rainy or windy day it folds itself up to protect it from the "elephants of the weather". Have no real idea how much...

    . The actual glad hands up behind the cab - where the hoses are used to feed a "king pin type" trailer air - have a shutoff "ball valve". Keeps stupid stuff from happening like trying to use the glad hand connections by the pintle and a pintle trailer at the same time. The hand valve will also...

    . You definitely need some sort of pressure regulator when you connect to "city water" is pretty important. Like @chucky mentioned, a hundred PSI is a lot of water pressure to deal with. Friend of mine with a basement in his house lost everything stored in that basement (and the neighbor...

    . Looking good!! Mighty Fine! I remember seeing all that space back early in your build process (now that you reminded us with pictures). Heck of a good idea to have that space available for sure! Even better that clearance under the tank is NOT going to be a problem.

    . That is AMAZING! Looks like a perfect fit like you suggested in an earlier post. The top is fine, so what about under the truck? What do you have for clearances down below? No driveshaft or axle flex problems - Right? I mean with all the measuring and fitting that you have done, the...

    . 3M for whatever reason seems to have managed to avoid stupidity in their product lines. Unrelated to building a habitat or sealing in windows - the pressure sensitive vinyl that 3M makes lasts twice as long as any other product on the market. AND their stuff is still great many years after...

    . For sure Chucky! I see a lot of triangles on that structure. I would guess it is going to be amazingly strong. Being used as an entertainment platform until the build is complete makes it pretty sweet :cool:

    . Almost looks like you need to hire some gymnast in some brightly colored spandex to do flips and spins. You could have a top rated parade vehicle - and then you could add the sides a little later :cool:

    . Sad but true! I can go outside, look at what I want to do. Everything is cool and a little cloudy. By the time I gather some tools and parts - the clouds are gone! Almost every time...

    . I almost wonder if some of the survival school teachings for capturing water could be used? In a long encampment, you could setup a water capture. Things done with low effort using something on top of the habitat (may not work because of solar arrays). Captured water could go into...

    . Absolutely!! What the heck IS that noise!? Hey, I am almost back to normal. Went for a ride yesterday and my depth perception is back to normal. AND the honeybees were exonerated! The ball of wasps under the fender of the jeep came roaring out a couple days ago. Zipping all around...

    . If loudness can be fixed - I think maybe I bought the wrong truck(s)! And, I suppose if noise bothered me I wouldn't be playing truck. Say what? What did you say? Sorry, I couldn't hear what you said... ... over the noise of my truck.

    . Definitely Neat! I know I have mentioned the steps before - but that is definitely a good way to do that. A wooden box with a no-slip top outside would make it easy to step up into the truck. First Class so far!!

    . Wow! That is nice. Should make it nice to crawl back for a nap if you wanted to :)

    . Swing of the overhang is no problem at all for me. Being alert to it will make you do the right thing. Where it was bad for me was when the truck was loaned to a perfectly reasonable person that took a turn a little too tightly and the steel bumper on the Civy truck knocked the plastic...

    Hi ckouba, I am going to repeat (echo) the comment from coachgeo: You really need to give some real consideration to that part of your bix beyond the rear tires "swing" when you turn left or right. In tight quarters, you could easily take out another vehicle, a tree, or a building with the...

    . Definitely like the idea even better for the door and stairs! Heck of a plan! Sadly, I too work solo about 99% of the time. I guess that is why I have a forklift at work. It is the extra hands I need most of the time... And then there is the boom truck to raise things higher and further...

    Really Nice ckouba , Steps are really nice start. Hard to tell from this angle, but I am guessing the bottom of the tank lines up with the bottom step? And up on the deck (much later) there will be some sort of wall to keep you from tumbling down those steps in the dark :) Definitely a...
