^^^^ nice truck

 

^x2

you should paint the front and back CG red



Let us see the pics of the hinged platform when you finish.

 

I've been lurking this thread forever.

Although i have a pre-runner, i'll def be converting it to a 4wd(its my baby)

I want to do something similar to box-rocket, its my inspiration for sure(that and we've got the same color truck more or less )

I'm def going to try and do it all right the first time so i'll be lurking...

 

dude thats freakin awsome!!!!! but there actually needs to be a little space of white behind the front orange the a thin strip of light blue then the white till the back orange

 

Vinyl wrap that thing. Should only be a few hundred bucks!

 

You would probly be the coolest person on kodiak if you actually did that! Then stencil AIRSTA KODIAK on the top back corners of your canopy haha! So funny!

 

Subbed for this thread for sure. This is the direction I'm headed with mine as well. DCLB should prove useful. I gotta say that that vinyl idea would be sick. Is there any wheeling down there in kodiak? I'd love to drive down there sometime (ferry from anchortown?) Meet up with you guys once I get all set up. Lived in anchorage my whole life and never been to kodiak.

 

OMG dude there are miles upon miles of 4 wheeler trails and logging roads!!! you should def make the trip over here. i like there are 4 tw members on kodiak. jake (jeverich) and i are gana be hitting some trails once i get back and get my ICONs on. our tacomas can fit down most of the trails until the summer growth make it to tight. but thats why i got a beater broncoII for free too. nothing like 2.9 v6 Power!!!!

 

so i wasnt able to get the platform to hinge like i wanted to but it will be small enough to slide in on its side so i can fit all the decoys, ice chests and gear for hunting.
its 6 feet long by 26in wide

now just need to go to the dump or the wood hobbyshop and get some plywood for free. oh and ya all the 2 x 4s we sources from the dump for free. this only cost me $5 for the screws.

Subbed for sick expo rigs

 

Way to build cheap man, I've been debating building a really simple sleep platform as well. I just don't camp out as much as I used to

All these rigs are material

keep em comin guys

 

I approve! Might be getting away from the expedition theme but definitely crossing into the realm of BA rescue vehicle theme!

 

Subbed. Been very interested in this. I'll have 3 years in Japan to build my truck up.

 

Just finished a couple weeks ago getting my expo/chase rack custom fabricated by my buddy Brandon at Dynamic MetalWerx in the Orange County, CA.

 

badass thread. subbed

 

sup. good looking stuff in here so far. oh and this is the plain for my truck, not just weekend wheeling. some mods i will have, roof rack, rear bumper with tire swing, gas cans and hold a high lift, may have a bed rack as well not sure yet. also going to build a trailer. was thinking M416 with RTT, but i’m now thinking 5’x8’ inclosed. one reason i don’t like the M416 and rtt is winter camping, and i have to take time to set up and take down.

 

If you do a lot of winter camping then an enclosed trailer would be nice (maybe a teardrop) but the setup time of a RTT shouldn't be the reason not to do one of those. Most RTT can be set up and you inside, warm in a sleeping bag in under 3 minutes.

 

This.

Teardrops are quite nice though, good for those Offroad trips with on central camping location, can be a pain if constantly on the move.
