You still pay me 50 bucks if I pick it up for you?

 

Hell No, Modify It, more bragging rights.
Even I'm re-thinking it now.

 

Doubt you can shorten it far enough for a short bed though.

 

Build some fold down legs for it like a regular RTT and just support the end. Drive around like a dork for the rest of the time. Or build a trailer out of a bed that it does fit on- viola! Expo trailer!

 

Yes, if you get it I'll pay the asking price and another fifty to hold it for me. I have a friend here that it has a truck it will fit. I'm coming down in May for Jambo.

 

I wouldn't put it on a short bed.
I was thinking about putting it on top of a trailer.

Build the trailer to fit, have a false floor in the trailer which would be the floor of the tent while in use and transport things that will come out when setup.
Under the false floor would be the pull out kitchen, water tank, batteries, all the good stuff that stay on/in the trailer.
Replace the windows with solid panels and reshape the fiberglass a little so it isn't obvious that it is a camper shell.

 

I personally don't want a trailer, but pretty good idea right here

 

Let's see what he comes back with. I got room in the garage, I doubt I can bring it with me to Jambo though. Unless you want to rent a trailer.

 

AAAAAND Texas Overland discovered it. A bunch of more people emailed the guy.....

 

I have a brother in law in Marble Falls that I can have pick it up from you once he gets his schedule sorted.

 

The guy just responded with measurements, it would stick at least 12 inches over the bed......


There is no way in hell I could make that work.


@G.T. I would pick it up for you, but it is already longer than my tire carrier......

I can go a pay for it and you can have your brother in law pick it up

 

I actually have a trailer frame that I am going to make into an offroad camper, but I don't think I want THAT long a trailer lol. almost 8 foot of bed... plus 6ish feet of tongue.. would make it a leeeeetle long for what I want.

Buy it, cut it on a diagonal put in a piece of 3/4" plywood, add the original window or put a door in like this guy and you'll be good to go!

 

I like fabbing stuff, but honestly, I think I'd rather spend a whole bunch of money and get something or make something like the "Habitat" camper on the Expedition Overland taco.

 

Excuse me, how did you guys talk about the 79 and not mention RONNY DAHL?!

 

Aussies have it good.

I swear though every time I see his logo initialize Western Australia as "WA" I have to remind myself that it doesn't mean Washington
