My camper is directly mounted as the bed was. Yes, my camper weighs less then the bed system did on the truck. I am going to take my shafts down to my drive line shop and have them checked out anyway, and that will give me a reason to look at the u joints at the same time. Who knows, it might be...

Good morning all. So I posted a few pages back that I had my bracket issue fixed. Well it was for about 3000 miles. I was just out in the mountains near Idlewild Ca and I noticed that my belts were loose. I looked at the mount that I had built and noticed that it had broken the welds. all the...

My alternator bracket was missing two bolts when I bought my truck. I replaced them and drive the truck a bit. Rechecked them and one was missing and one was halfway out and the ear was broken off. I made a new l bracket and also welded a gusset on the new bracket on mine to keep the bracket...

I've used Lizard Skin for years. Both the sound deadener and thermal coating work great. Its easy to apply and works best with their spray gun. you can role it on but it doesn't get the coverage as the gun does and also doesn't look as nice as when its sprayed. I didn't use it on my truck but...

I agree! Do not personally add or alter your vin. Only DMV can do it. That's why I posted that "DMV added zeros to my number to make it 17 digits" If you alter your vin= game over!

When I was ready to register my truck, as an RV, I just went to DMV and they took my number and just added zero's at the beginning to make it 17 digits. I chose the number on the dash plate that I wanted to use. I then had to have a brake and lamp inspection done to certify the two systems were...

A couple more pics of the trip. One of the trails ended at a train bridge that was just a little to low to fit under, So we just went over! As many of you also enjoy firearms, You can tell by the pics with the sign, we still have those idiots out there who shoot up things that they shouldn't...

Good morning everyone. I just returned from a trip that I took out through the Southwest deserts from Ca. to Nevada. I took my 80 year old mother out for just over a week. She has wanted to do a good 4x4 camping trip in the treehouse, ( that's what we call my truck). We started in Vegas and...

Looks good to me, nice and simple. Surprised there isn't a flurry of "can't weld to the frame" replies yet. Or did I just open that Pandora's box?

So yesterday I finished my AC install. I had a friend come out and help as he is a mobile AC guy. Built all of my lines on site and got it working. It wasn't plug and play. My truck didn't have all of the connections in the dash to just plug it in. I had to improvise a little to get it to work...

I'm going to use the stock condenser mounted in the stock location. And if that doesn't work I'll go with a different condenser mounted probably in front of the radiator. If I remember correctly I've got both the air compressor brackets and the pulley from Superman. The belt tensioner, I...

So I have all of my ac parts installed on the cab except for the hoses. I just haven't had the time to work on it. So tomorrow I am having a guy I know come out and just finish it for me. He works on RedDot daily so it should be easy day for him. His mobile truck is quite amazing as to how much...

Finally was able to take some pics of my gen mount. Its just a simple cage with slides to be able to service the unit. I don't feel the need to encase the whole thing for theft or protection. It works great.

Your Camper box is looking very nice. I think you are doing just a fantastic job. Cant wait to see it mounted on the truck! I know you will really enjoy it as I do mine. People just want to talk your ears off about it when you get it on the road, but I enjoy it. Again. BZ to you and your truck...

My 1997 1078 had the sticker still on the windshield and it said just over $106,000. It didn't have winch or any other options other than base model.

Maybe that's where many of the Premier axles disappeared to?

I concur. I am enjoying this build also. I love seeing people build things from scratch and then actually use them.

I have personally used bed liners on the interiors of off-road trucks for a while now. It helps in many of the ways mentioned above. However as far as the easy cleaning goes, I would disagree. Yes you can just spray with a hose, but its not the same a s the bed of a truck. There are items you...
