Yeah i have a question... Where the HELL did you find that adapter to come off the wet tank to power tool quick connect??? You HAVE to tell me man!

crushed it, rob!

Great job. That was a bummer with the engine failing.😮

Hey man - Did you buy those anti-torsion spring additions from somewhere you might share the link to or did you fab them yourself?

Can youplease provide more detail on how the camper body was secured down to the subframe? That's the part I'm trying to work out right now...

I’m a bit late to this party but hopefully the OP sees this anyway. I’m. Urious about the construction of the floor. I see it’s 2x2 and you covered it with the OSB, but what about the bottom? Did you skin 5he bottom to seal it up, or are the 2x2s exposed to 5he flatbed deck?

Very cool!!

well done!

Any reliability issues? GF and I are interested in doing this..

thanks

Absolutely fantastic good luck to you

Is there a big difference between a 1083 and a 1088? Thank you

Nice video. You had a great transportation looks like you had a great time

looks great an a man like me in your prime never stop keep on burnin rob blessings to u from the uk

Radical self-reliance check, glad to see you stayed and saw the temple burn, it was great P.S. Only real burners stay since 1992 first burn

ya wind sailing

ya monolink......thanks for this..........................

Looks like fridge) good job)

Post some trips with this thing! Don't leave us hanging lol

Extremely cool build how does it do with the extension out back departure angle is severely lacking does this limit the vehicle off road

Well done Mr. Anderson! Love the layout.

Amazing build. I am looking at building an overlander on a 1989 MB 4x4 cargo truck frame or Steyr chassis. I am curious, is there insulation in the walls of the habitat? Are you concerned with thermal bridging with the 2x2 aluminum? What is the total length of the camper box? Thanks

Well done! Mighty fine workmanship

I plan on getting a truck like this or building one. Taking it out to the New Mexico mountains with some high end cameras and stream live through star link trying to view UFO activity. Which is extremely common in New Mexico.

Thanks for taking the time and showing us the work you did it looks great. I also have a Stewart & Stevenson working on and one of my largest concerns is insurance. Who are you using for insurance and how tough is it to get?

If you can add an email to your "about" part of the page I'll send you my 3d models of my design which is near identical to yours, mine is just a fantasy, yours is superb reality, jealous!!

I have same vehicle in excellent condition. Do you build same thing for customers?? Steve

Awesome what did you Youse to separate the alum from the steel? they can't touch

Rob, Are you selling the M1078? Curious, Steve

How do you like the new truck? You mentioned your previous truck sagged a bit in the back, did you experience any body roll or anything else with the first truck? The reason I ask is that I'm struggling with this exact decision as I look for a truck. Meaning 2 axle vs 3 axle. Seems there's always trade offs with everything. Thanks for sharing. Very nice trucks and really enjoy your fabrication photos.

Very few people know what it takes to finish a project like this. Much respect!

WOW...well done

Do you have anymore spare tires or just the one behind the cab?

is it for sale? :)

This build looks great. I have a question regarding the new chassis. Does the extra axle limit where you can go off road by much?

Love the build! I do think the 1083 is a better choice! Congratulations on a beautiful build!

I am new to your channel but I'm not new to fabricating stuff. Back in the early 70's I worked for a Company in Fort Worth Texas that made a cycle carrier called "The Red Ant Cycle Carrier". I worked in the Factory building them, so I knew them intimitly. And being a young 20 something I was facinated with the simplicity of them. You can look them up under that name in the US Patents Web Site. They were still on there last I looked. Basically what they did was pivot off one side (left side) via a 1" Grade 8 Bolt mounted at an angle. The angle meant that when the other side of the rail (right side) was unbolted from it's right side reciever leg and rotated, it lowered the right rail end to the ground at a maximum of 20 degrees down angle. Making loading a lot easier. And this meant that once the rail was swung back to the stowed position it raised that bike rail back up to horizontal. With the bike on it! Your current bike rail set up could be easily modified to incorporate this design. I built up a beefed up version of one to carry my 1200cc Yamaha Tenere ( And KLR) on the back of my Class A motorhome. But I mounted an electric winch to the wheel stop and use it to pull the bike up the ramp and hold it while I tie the bike down to the front rails arms. (Al while standing on the ground too) Then I reposition the winch to a pully on the rail near the back tire, to pull the bike rail back up to the stowed horizontal position. Then I have a securing plate that I bolt that end back to the reciever rail to secure it. Simple and fast! I added a short rail extension in case the rail didn't reach the ground when loading due to uneven terrain.So a tall rig lke yours would be able to use it easy! Here's the best part! I saved a copy of the original patent and would gladly send a copy to you to look at, if you're interested. Free! And I would be happy to help you understand and talk you through any questions. Like I said I built one for my truck, so I have pictures to help it make sense. I'll share just because I think it's a neat carrier that would be worthy of a rig like yours. And I will be building another one (2nd one) for when I get a Rig I can convert into an Expedition Rig. That or I'll convert a Tommy Lift into a bike rail carrier like I mentioned in your other video this morning. Post up here if you're interested and we'll figure out how to exchange contact info. I'm getting old and these ideas and knowlege will do me no good when I go to the grave.. SO I'll pass them along while I can... Feel free to share it with the other rig builders. Love your new rig too!

I was surprised that you used OSB rather than a Composite Aluminum Foam Sandwich build. It would have made it a lot lighter. Riley and Courtney (Ambition Strikes) build their Overland truck camper by gluing together their Foam and Aluminum Siding boards and built their entire camper with minimum aluminum framing. Love this build as I'm designing an Edpedition camper of my own and found yours. The bed extended out of the rear is what caught my eye as I'm going to incorpporate one into mine. Only I want to have a hydraulic tommy lift gate that I will convert into a motorcycle rail & lift that will raise the bike up under the bed and will carry it there in the raised position with hinged end walls to keep the dust off it. And that side entry step build is most impressive. Makes it look a lot safer for entry. Great job Rob.

DID YOU SELL THE OLD TRUCK? I AM LOOKING BIDDING ON AUCTION SITE NOW GREAT JOB BY THE WAY VERY PROFESSIONAL

What is the name of the truck you started with

Love this, and your just a few hours away. I have been dreaming about doing one of these, and agree wholeheartedly with the move to the big platform. Much more stable off-road too.

I thought I had read someplace that the 1083 was only 2ft longer than the 1078, ergo your extensions on it I'm guessing. I'd love to see more details on the interior, like how you did wiring, plumbing, etc. And do. you wish you had not extended the back with the 45 degree cut on the bottom? Would also be interested in knowing roughly how much you spent putting it together. Been looking at these silly monsters myself thinking of doing the same thing, but I don't have a nice shop like you do so that would be a hinderance.......... Oh... and have you ever seen one of the 1078s with the radio box on the back and if so do you think that would make for a good starting template as I think I saw one person do. Thank. you for uploading your video.

What is the use case for that floorplan and if it's truly an overland, will it be only operating in arctic conditions with all that white exterior color and interior color? I didn't see any special cold weather enhancements and it has all those slung under storage trays on the exterior?

Interesting how you built the camper box. Aluminum frame , then wood material, then fibre glass exterior. Lot of people use foam core fibre glass panels. Personally I think your construction would be stronger because you built a strong aluminum frame.You have done a very good building job.

Just awesomeness! Well done Rob

Beautiful build, love the story and your notes :) For someone who's about to pull the trigger and get an LMTV for overlanding... Would you recommend to start with the M1078/81/83? Thank you!

Wow awesome build! Really enjoyed the first 3 video. I am really considering building myself one but not as long. You can answer this or if you choose not to I understand but how much did it cost to build, repair this?

Nice one mate . Great vid. And yes learned something. It looks quite expensive with all that alloy ? + the music cool

Fantastic job! kinda surprised that you used common OSB instead of marine plywood?

Did you sell your first truck? Or going to sell it.
