Watching with interest.

 

[Josh Tagg]

That's a gutsy looking move, look forward to seeing it

An alucab or similar flip up roof system going on is it Karl?

 

[karl webster]

Cant afford alucab ben. Ive had a outback alloy shell tent for a while so thats gone on it. Bit of a protortype thing but will do the job for us.

 

[karl webster]

This is its Ben. Still got lots of work to do. Cutting the whole was the easy part.
Its virtally weather tight at the min.

Not happy with a sub-machine gun mount, Karl’s going for a full-on mobile Missile Silo

Looking good BTW Karl...

 

[Karlosfandango]

Is there anything structural up there or just a big sheet of steel? Just wondering how it will fair with any twisting.

 

[karl webster]

Up where karlos? The existing roof or do you mean the tent?

 

[Karlosfandango]

The existing roof. Just wondering really as the vehicle is designed to go over difficult terrain there must be loads of twisting force. They always say when a sports car gets turned into a convertible it loses structural rigidity.

 

[karl webster]

Your right. A sports car doesnt run a full chasie though.
Theres a full support that ive left in all aroubd the roof. Ive also left the support at the back where the tailgate is. Theres only really one other support thats been cut out.

Takes courage that mate fair play to you , he who dares wins , its gotta be good

 

[karl webster]

Not all all shayne. You would have done the same

Im not one to plan something over and over. Im just a guy that does what he wants rather than wanting to do it but then bottle it.
Half hour with grinder and hey presto.nothing to it lol

[Shayne]

I know what your saying Karl , it took the mrs a while when i first met her to accept i was fixing things when i took a sledgehammer to stuff in the house , when its gone we have a blank canvas to start fixing

Thanks ben.

Its nice to be stood up inside the truck with the tent doors down. Looking forward to the travels in him sat on a beach somewhere.

Tonight has proven that cutting the hole was the easy bit.
A ljttle more head scratching needs to be done to work out the best way to moubt the bed so i can keep the bedding up top.
