Talk to me about those front fender flares - why and how much trimming? Tire size/lift now (245/65?70?75 R 19.5...)? And did you upgrade the rear axle? 14 bolt10.5" are usually only rated to 7500# The 10,000# CUCV axle is the D70HD on the M1028 A2/A3 dually

Love it.

I was planning on using folding boat steps like you did, how were those secured?

Did you weld a back panel on the back then cut a hole and mount a door or ???

That's great! Super job. I especially like the extra tool boxes / storage areas that were added along the lower part of the box. A sink and a 2 burner stove too. Really hope you post some more pictures sometime. Thanks for sharing.
