I milked that job for about 6 weekends….
BTW can you post some more pics of your rig lifted up high enough to stand under? I’m diggin’ your lift and just wonder how much is blocked underneath. All I really need is to be able to remove all my skids. It looks like it may block KDSS valves or make working on sliders tough but not having posts and a frame in the way for the 90% of the time I’m doing something looks like a good trade off.
From translate:
"Hello everyone, If you have if there is a specific key to disassemble the spheres on vdj 200 I tried to disassemble them with a key on the nut that there is at the end of spheres but the one is served Thank you"
Here's my response in english:
Daniel11, I do not understand what you are asking. By spheres, do you mean wheels? Are you asking about lug nuts or anti-theft lug nuts that require a key? Can you post a picture of what you are referring to?
And translated:
@Daniel11,
Je ne comprends pas ce que vous demandez. Par sphères, entendez-vous des roues? Posez-vous des questions sur les écrous de roue ou les écrous antivol qui nécessitent une clé? Pouvez-vous poster une photo de ce à quoi vous faites référence?
I thought about my original response to this request later and realized I didn’t include much in the way of details, we’re home now and I have the time to pontificate.Here’s a quick rundown:That looks like a serious camper. Mind sharing some details of it
camper holds 34 gal fresh water, no gray or black tanks
Propane on demand hot water
Propane propex HS2000 Heater
It’s got an air condition unit that tractor trailers use for their sleep cabins, small but convenient. Runs on shore power or 2000watt generator.
Redarc RedVision power distribution and battery management.
200watt solar on roof and I have additional 320 watt portable that will connect to camper or Cruiser. 200 AH Lithium batteries.
Outdoor shower
Kitchen sink, snomaster 81L dual zone fridge/freezer, I upgraded to 18onch cook partner stove.
For a toilet we have a Wrappon, think food sealer but for toilet use. We go and throw the sealed bag away.
Comfortably sleeps the wife and I in the front fold out bed, kids sleep in the main section bed which is giant and can convert to dinette that seats us all easily.
It’s got a TV but we’ve only used to to review pictures from trips or look at maps and plan routes if paper maps aren’t available. The kids are really into the planning part of trips.
33 inch tires and independent suspension.
Articulating hitch, about to upgrade to a HitchEzy coupler.
With the 40 gallon LRA tow range is anywhere from 500-600 miles. We’ve taken on a lot of dirt and 4x4 trails and it does really well with the cruiser. We ran much of the rim rocker but ended up finding a wash that we couldn’t cross because of the pivot angle at the bottom, hopefully the new hitch will fix that.
Another interesting thing is it’s all metal construction, steel and aluminum with mostly rivets. zero wood and the only plastic is electrical connections. The main compartment is sandwiched with foam in between the panels for insulation. With water on board we’ve camped in the low 20°’s but sustained temps that low we won’t bring water.
It’s not your typical RV but we aren’t your typical rv people. This will almost anywhere we can drag it with our cruiser. We’ve gotten deep into the middle of nowhere and it’s great for that. We designed our cruiser mods around our needs for this and the two are a killer combo.

Thanks you for sharing the envious setup, detail and pics! I look forward to eventually doing something similar.
He might also be asking about the KDSS valves.. as his are rusted shut and won't turn.
Je complète ma question,
sur les sphères du 200 vous avez un écrou pour les deviser,
mon problème impossible de dévisser les sphères, ces écrous sont en tôle et pointé sur la sphère, le problème quand on force cet écrou s'arrache donc impossible de desserrer la sphère
comment faites vous pour la dévisser, existe il une clef spécifique
merci

I complete my question, on the spheres of the 200 you have a nut to change them, my problem impossible to unscrew the spheres, these nuts are made of sheet metal and pointed at the sphere, the problem when you force this nut is torn off therefore impossible to loosen the sphere how do you unscrew it, is there a specific key thank you
Response:
English:
Could also be talking about AHC Globes if your LC has AHC. You should provide a photograph of the part to help with language barrier.
If you are talking about the automatic height adjustment spheres, and the nut on the sphere has sheared off or is too rounded off to turn the globe anymore, some people have drilled a hole into the sphere to use a screwdriver or some other long rod to get leverage to turn the sphere.
French: (Google Translate)
Peut également parler d'AHC Globes si votre LC a AHC. Vous devez fournir une photo de la pièce pour aider à surmonter la barrière de la langue. Si vous parlez des sphères de réglage automatique de la hauteur et que l'écrou de la sphère s'est cisaillé ou est trop arrondi pour faire tourner le globe, certaines personnes ont percé un trou dans la sphère pour utiliser un tournevis ou une autre longue tige pour obtenir un effet de levier pour faire tourner la sphère.
I thought I was getting up there with about 16 months in and 32,010 miles!
Same! I put 55K on ours in 24 months.

Wow, I'm a slacker. 11,300 miles in 22 days shy of two years.

Got these back in. Going to get the hitch recovery point anodized in a few different colors.
Front recovery points are hard anodized in clear(looks gray) and black.
Might drop a website link with mud discount codes soon.

There are pictures in this thread of the various stages of the build, but no official build thread.
