I used to race sailboats hard. I spent a lot of time in tents at events when I couldn't afford hotel rooms or to rent a house. I always thought about buying a slip in camper for the pickup, but also thought they were retarded for what they cost and how little space you got out of it. You can buy a lot of hotel rooms for that money
I wanted to build something like this for a long time, but for a flat bed on a pickup. I don't need a complicated kitchen or a head. Just a dry place to sleep that doesn't cost a fortune. I didn't want to get a hotel room for this event, because I want to hang out with you dopes in the camp ground.
Two guys and a dog in my rooftop tent for a week? Ummm, no. I'd have to burn it, the dog, and my buddy by the end.
Damn, that will give me enough time to finish the 40!!! Ever worked on anther project and felt like you were being stalked by a different toy?
Hmmmm.... I know I am in Minnesota... And the weather here can fog the glasses.... But if your taking the red 40 to SAS, you might need all 179 days.. lol.
When I tell the guys I’m gonna have a h55 and rebuilt transfer case along with literally everything else done by GSMTR 32….
Then again, what do I know.... I just cut all my suspension out for a 4 link for SAS....
Lol I'm gettin going on mine right now as well lol.
Save judgement for when you see it. I'm pretty good at my job.
I'm going to cheat fibreglass it on the outside, and paint it up.

I’ll judge for now, but if it starts raining, you may find me at your door looking for a dry place to sleep
Man with all this work going on makes me want to tear into my 80 series with my LS 4L60E, rocks slayer front and rear 4 link swap!!! Yeah right I’m just gonna sit back and enjoy the wait.

Was pretty far down the todo list…but can’t go wrong with an 8274 on an ARB.
Going cyclops for now.

I'm hoping its a pretty easy prep this time. Well, compared to bending a rod right before we were to leave like last year...
.
- replace master cylinder (working fine but it's the last original moving part in the system)
- Swap 4.88's for 3.70's
- Install standard clutch to replace self adjusting clutch whose cam springs have been hitting the fork making embarassing racket
- Put a relay on the starting circuit (loosing too much voltage at times through the original circuit)

@DangerNoodle Good morning my young Jeti friend . Do you remember how to get here and the name of it? I knid of do but not sure. I hope You are going to lead that run again ? That was a good day.
I'm planning on it. I believe that was the Minniehaha mine site. It was a super pretty run for sure.
Really close to being able to cut this out.
I need to add a ton of bracing behind all of the goofy joints.
Drill a whole mess of holes
Then there's an acre of machinging that has to take place to clearance the material in the corners where the box joint is going to be.
I'm up to 16 sheets of material..... lol
So much for ten, and optimism.
At the bottom there's material stacked and stitched up for fork pockets.
The lower bed frame with the interior storage added.
Roof Ribs in place
Back Wall with the door opening
and, all of the parts including the door being shown. If I have time, I'm going to cut a TEQ logo out and put it in the round window in the door.
My buddy said I should make it a half moon like a s***house. I told him I'm going to put the TEQ logo in there, he said "Same thing isn't it?" I laughed pretty good.
I need to come up with a clever way to make those side windows apron out for some ventilation. I've gotta sense that the dog farts and stinking dude smell is going to get thick otherwise. Maybe I should think about some sort of door to add a fan to shovel air through there too.

Dune Beige was the color chosen for year three. That was the year we implemented letting everyone chose.I just voted Pollux hoping to possibly influence a DUNE BEIGE option for 2024.
Year 4 was Olive, 5 was Cadet Blue and 6 was Freeborn Red.
