That's so cool!

they probably have original metric ton springs lol. Those things are SOFT after that many years (mine certainly were).

Woah, that looks soooooo beautiful and clean with those hard lines!

Leatherman on the belt, usually wallet and keys in right pocket, phone in left front or rear pocket (depending on what's more convenient at the time).

You missed ME (also, NT has 3.5 and 4.0 before swapping to 2000 before merging back into the consumer OS line ).

Those are fascinating. Do you have more pictures or the design file?

My folks loved the idea of a tiny house but also wanted to travel. They live full time out of their truck camper now and have for 6 years now and love it. They have a reserved spot in my shop that they use sometimes (complete with a dump hookup), but it works for them since they're retired and don't need or want much in terms of material possessions. If anything, having the tiny house helps to avoid the accumulation of "stuff" because you always have to think about whether or not it would fit from a space standpoint, or if you had to give something else up to get it.

Wow, a true tear down build up...that's awesome! Looking forward to ongoing updates!!

Love the RTT

That some tight clearances around that front axle!

gorgeous!

While true, at a certain tire size, snow tires become very limited in avaiability. I do generally have a tire shop sipe the center blocks on my mud tires though and it helps. Winter traction is all about how many "edges" you can get on the ground (which is why siping helps). My wife's subaru, however...I put winter tires on that because I want them to have ALL the traction. Gotta protect the wife and daughter. This is a handy underrated reminder of the benefits of that. I need to get some fresh bags as the bags from last year are a bit frayed.

I tried a bunch of the tracking apps and ended up liking the carfax one the best (plus, for the wife's car and such, it automatically tracks the work done on it as the dealer uploads info to that site). Fuelly/aCar was a decent app otherwise though.

Correct, "had a lot of money". We own jeeps now, remember?

Built a new desk with a lot more space on it...it's not complete yet (still have a hutch to build to raise the monitors and give me room for the keyboard on the desk itself), but it's getting there. Otherwise, got lights in the shop and a "big boy" welder plug added in there for one day in the future, when I have a welder that requires more than a 120 plug.

I like those A-Pillar mounts! How hard were they to attach?

The truck looks great! I love the spare tire mount :)

At some point, the added complexity has got to kill the benefits. Cool to look at though!

This is the saddest statement that I see all too often when I come back to see progress on a cool build.

Excited to see the progress on this!

So...with ORIs, it always has to be asked...does the ride justify the cost? Does it drive comfortably both on and off road?

Headliner makes a HUGE difference (I added some dynamat under mine too). Putting it in made the interior feel "together" for me and sort of made it feel bigger, even though it wasn't.

Looks great!

A few pages back, a little over a year ago now. :) I picked it up from another member on here.

To be fair, the more built a rig is, the less there is to be done. I'll bet the excitement level of the build portion of things probably lowers and they just go out and drive it more than talking about it.
