    Check out the build
    I'm just learning aluminum under the guidance of grandmaster @Bentrodder, but I wouldn't trust my welds on something like that. Steel is another story.

    I'd ask Peter to help us build one but I don't want him to take food off the table of a small fab shop.

    But in the DCSB the wheel well goes flush to the end of the bed so they won't be flat. One end will be up on it

    Yeah I'm deciding between a dcsb and aclb. I found a dcsb in the quicksand color which is sweet, I am just worried my skis won't fit and also I can't sleep in the bed whereas with a 6' you can. Do you guys ever find times where you wish you had a long bed?

    believe it or not, welding isn't the hard part. measuring, desiging, cutting out all the pieces and then arranging them to be welded.

    @jAndyMendo as far as the vehicle habitat, there's no passthru. it's two solid platforms, so room for two beds. I was checking out goose gear's and it's pretty room on the inside. they even have this elevated folding seating platform thing and a shower built in. very well thought out. but also another thing, due to all the aluminum, there are some fragile points.

    The gifted money only deals with PayPal's obligation.. the guy still took $335 in American dollars, and his not giving product or refunding it would be covered by American laws.

    I suppose but one could argue the money was gifted not paid for services or goods. Hopefully it doesn't go that far and everyone can get their money back

    Again, it doesn't have anything to do with PayPal and how they differentiate fees/buyer protection.

    There's 100 pages of thread where he's exchanging goods for dollars, there's record of every post (including posts that were edited, the original post is still retained information), every payment, every email, every PM.

    Hope you guys are made whole in this deal. I met that guy down at Gorman once. Nice enough, but somebody to steer clear of in real life.

    I don't suppose anybody would be interested in my front OME setup..

    OME 90021 shocks.
    OME 884X coils.
    OME trim packer.
    1/4" top plate spacer (ToyTec)

    Maybe 15k miles.

    If there's a taker I'd go with Maxtrac spindles.
