Most building supplies in our area (Vancouver Island) sell flat deck material. It is tung and groove fir. I sealed the bottom with por15 an the top with Sikens SRD and inset tracks.

We fly to Nicaragua each spring so I keep an eye on Encuentra24. Not sure about the importing but interesting. https://www.encuentra24.com/nicaragua-en/cars-auto-trucks-truck-bus/mercedes-benz-unimog/15414326?q=keyword.Unimog&list=searchresult&catslug=all

My recommendation is to do as much research as you can and take it to a small independent fabricator. There are very few people with experience with these subframes but they are not rocket science. I am only comfortable when I have seen lots of their previous work and when they value their...

I have no association, I saw this posted in a Facebook group. https://bend.craigslist.org/cto/d/bend-2012-mitsubishi-fuso-fg-4x4-box/6887500754.html

I thought I would share our truck it has been a work in progress for the past 8 months. I bought the truck as a cab and chassis, build the flat deck, and bought the camper from someone who sold their truck. Easter weekend was the maiden voyage to Port Renfrew on Vancouver Island about 2 hours...

How did your claim resolve? Is this why you are looking for a new insurance company?

I thought I should post an update making slow and steady progress.

Just bought the manual looks good so far. File appears to to to big for my iPad so I will break it into chapters. Interesting old PayPal accounts don’t expire I just needed to update the account details

Wow, that both terrifying and frustrating. Get the truck the way you want it and have that happen, at least you walked away. I am in the early stages of my build and am not far away on Vancouver Island if you are selling any parts keep me in mind. Cheers, Dan
