    can it be done?

    Can you get any measurments of the trailers you are looking at? That is really going to be the deciding factor. I think its a great idea. This is what i am thinking of. I have not taken any measurements so i am not sure it will fit. I know I could probably build a narrow version of this.

    can it be done?

    I think anything can be done. When i was building my off road pop up i had seriously considered mounting it to a flatbed on the truck. The biggest issue i had was that it was quite wide and would have not been good for any type of trails that were tight. Still i have seen a pop up that i think...

    Military Surplus camper vehicles

    I hated driving the deuce and a halfs and five tons when i was in, especially off road I couldnt imagine doing an extended trip in one. The exhaust is so loud and they just plain beat you up. I think it is really cool some of the stuff guys are doing to them.

    Superduty V10 vs 6.0

    I see allot of negative talk about the power of the V10. I must have got lucky or something. I purchased a used 2000 F350 with a V-10 originally from Nevada / Arizona (cant recall which state) I have towed my 65 mustang up some pretty good climbs (Grapevine outside of Bakersfield) and had no...

    Theoretical overland flatbed design for F-350 DRW Crew Cab

    The front boxes might snag some rocks depending on where you take the truck. I have never been to Maine so I might be way off. Here in CA some trails can have some very difficult rock and rutt obstacles that might damage that type of Box. If the boxes are removable definitely keep the stake...
