This is awesome, I am happy to see more people venturing out and getting into DIY stuff like this! Sub'd for sure - eventually I wanna go flatbed on my ranger! Settling for DIY wedge camper for now.
Looking good so far, keep up the great work.
I think I am all done modeling for now. Going to double check all of my measurements tonight then create my cut-list. I will be hand drilling all of my mounting holes before I paint the frame and put everything together.
As of right now, my extrusion is shipping on 11/11. That gives me roughly...
I added the bottom platform (6mm MaxMetal Panel) and the extrusion into my model. I also added my appearances to my model to get an idea of how it will look so far. I am going to do a blaze orange space frame, white MaxMetal panel for floors and roof, and black extrusion. All of the side panels...
Changed my design around a bit today after bouncing some ideas off friends. Changed the mounting on the bedrails to 3/16" plate that spans the full width of the bedrail. I added large tabs that go on the inside of the bed for mounting - this mounting design is similar to a lot of bedracks on the...
Yes, I was actually just discussing this with a friend of mine yesterday, haha. I would love to get full bed standing access, much like the Super Pacific X1, but I already ordered my frame material and would have wanted to size up on wall thickness and change some dims to eliminate my center...
Figured I would make thread documenting my wedge camper build. I have decided to make a wedge camper very similar to the GFC design. I am, for the most part, copying the infamous "Ripcord Camper" build that many on the Tacomaworld Forums use. The space frame needed to be modified to fit our...
Beautiful truck and congratulations on your new purchase.
I too believe the markup market is coming to an end. Just this weekend I had a salesman call me and ask if I wanted to trade in my '19 and get into something new. I told him I wasn't interested and when asked why, I stated that it didn't...
Hey all. I am in the market for a GFC V2 for my 5' bed (supercrew). Let me know if you have one and are willing to part ways with it. I am located in Northern California, but willing to drive to meet for the right one.
Cheers.
What data are you reading on gas prices? Crude oil is up 3.5% alone today, and price per barrel is up about $10 from January. Projected to continue to rise through the end of the year. It may have dropped from the crazy summer prices but the data shows its starting to go back up.
Also energy up...
Holy hell, nothing gets you boomers fired up like a good ol' Tesla post.
I love me a good "well I know a guy who had" or "I heard about this one guy" post in an EV thread.
