That's a pretty smart set up for sure and I considered it, but I think I want a large Cabinet toolbox around the frame as I'd probably use that more often. I'll go ahead and spring for a front removable winch. And possibly add a rear winch. I like the fact of how they run through the...
Me too. That is what I envisioned before looking at these pics. Wanted to make it so I can get a snow plow on it, thought about swapping it out on the front with a winch when out of the off season. We are retiring in the mountains and if we stay up there during a winter we will need that capability.
Anything is possible, but is it practical? I guess that’s somewhat as subjective as the trade offs are and usage may change.
I am going to put batteries in a wrap around U shape bench at one end of habitat. Water tank and filtration under there too. I may have secondary water under/outside...
I was looking at those, can they be submerged?
You going to add a switch to turn them off during water fording, maybe slaved to a relay off the fan cutoff switch ?
Swing out and pin someway Or Even Swing up with Hydraulic assist and pin out of the way for recovery without removing. There are always compromises. Eh?
Sacrificing 10 Deg of departure angle really is not going to be a problem I don't think... There is a video of Endless Adventure romping his truck on an impossible to climb hill without winch.... I am not sure I am going on much trails like this where the truck can't get up it in low gear...
Might be easier to engineer beefy jack stands.
But I thought this way a guy could pour sonotube to the height he needed to create a resting pad in between habitat flat bed swaps.
Could make a nice guest suite too in between excursions.
Saw this video of RVGlobeTrekker navigating some deep holes and was observing the tire mounted on top.
Also was inspecting torsion on the sub frame, the compactness of the habitat. Gotta say I was quite impressed. Now this is not to say that the tire on top isn't a ticking timebomb, but thought...
I was considering utilizing the suspension compression hydraulic circuit to make my truck kneel ( install a second set on the rear) so that I could hook up stilts to the habitat and drive out from under it.. hook up to a flatbed and then raise truck (unkneel).. but I think I may be too ambitious...
I second the call for thank$
General Is an awesome asset to this community.
I found out I have an A1R “tween” and needed two kits instead of just 1 previously spoken for.
I'll look.
I was just being facetious when commenting on the rough ride, but I'll check the seats. We should meet up and drive each other's to get a feel for what just shocks verses Giant Coil overs feel like....
