The 2.7L Single Cab Thread

I’ve been thinking of doing the same. Maybe more like 2-3 months for me though. I have a cap and a bed platform I’ve built up for sweet camping comfort. I read thru the bed platform thread for ideas.

 

Nah I got a flatbed. I am thinking of making a big box with doors. Inside will be inverter, 2 batteries, solar controller, fridge, and some shelving in the center, with framework above box for solar panels sunk below square tubing so I can still haul my boat. Arb awning that meets up with the awning on oztent rv4. Box would be about 2 foot wide and go all the way up to just below the role bar. That plus a seat swap with a center console fridge I should be able to get by on all that. Simple living for a simple guy.

 

yea something like this, would make it comfy

Sorry, totally forgot you have a flat bed. That sounds bad ass man! Would love to take that direction with my truck.

 

See both of those essentially turn your rig into a fancy 4 runner. I want to keep the use of my truck. I think I might just have to go the winnebago micro mini route, or buy and older small camper and modify it with a composite body to fit my needs.

 

They are 285 75 16, 1.5 wheel spacers if i remember right, i had the 255 85 16 bfgs before but i like these much more, the others didn't rub at all in the front but these rub a fare amount

 

Im going on a 500-600 mile overlanding trip in the beginning of june. I just built this on sat and it should take us around 5-6 days. It'll be my first time ever doing this kind of trip and im super excited.

 

Thanks! Looks sweet

 

If we get enough interest, Mobtown might entertain making a limited run of their new aluminum sliders for us...

My gear indicator lights D to 1 in the dash don’t work sometimes. This has been happening about once or twice a week for a month. I have to move the shifter back and forth a few times to get the lights to work. The trans goes into gear. Is there a sensor under the shifter for the dash lights?

 

Yes, it's a known issue with trucks in the north. The shifter arm rusts up where it goes through the transmission housing, no longer gets a good ground, take a few shifts to knock the rust around till the light comes on. Is it getting hard to shift yet?

 

Almost ready to go to work. Just need wheels and tires.

 

Nice utility body and a great platform for a work truck.

 

Should do the trick for my small business. It is replacing a Chevy Silverado 1500 Work Truck with a similar cap setup. A little less space in the bed, but I can deal with that. Needed a 4x4 to access farm properties and other slushy areas.

 

Although it looks like I'm one of those dudes selling frozen steaks through your neighborhood!

 

Sometimes it feels a little stiffer when I shift it. That is when the gear indicator lights don't work. What is the fix for this?

 

Maybe you’ll have some extra space for some dry ice. Lol

 

Now we're ready to roll!

 

What is the offset difference in those. What size tires did you go with?
