When do you heat it up? I did some testing with VHB and dibond panels. It didn't stick well unless I sanded the aluminum, wiped with acetone, and then applied the tape. I'd love to hear about how to heat it up to make it even better.

Dude I totally agree on your logic for steel over Al. That appeared to be either 14-16g wall you’re using there, and that’s perfect to compete with alu-tube. Not to mention, in the event of a failure in the field, a field expedient stick welder will get you out of all times of jams, and even if that’s not an option it’s MUCH easier to locate a DC steel welder than a AC one.... freaking FANTASTIC build, my dude.

This is a particularly impressive construction, with very well considered materials and construction techniques! Those Dibond sign making panels are a laminated panel in their own right, consisting of two sandwich layers of aluminium sheets with a filling of polyurethane. Using this as an outer panel gives improved strength and insulation properties even before the addition of the pink EPS and plywood sheets. By running beads of Sikaflex 221 Adhesive Sealer along the steel frame and outer sheathing, you've hugely improved the rigidity and bonding over the 3M VHB Tape alone, as the beads of Sikaflex 221 will act as the epoxy fillets on a Stitch & Glue construction! Your meticulous precision and high standards of workmanship, together with your attention to minimise weight and your interesting materials and construchion choices make this a *rivetting read... *Sorry about that!

What was missing here was a level of detail that is critical to moving these builds from amature level to something worthy of the materials and time involved in creating such a build. Where are your waterproofing details? Without proper detailing these builds turn into dust and moisture maintenance nightmares. The hardest part of creating these (the doors and working aspects) was sadly missing. Hopefully you will add this soon. Thanks

With whatever is being built using the lightest materials as possible is key for Toyota’s. I am doing a foam board fiberglass build for my rig and when finished should weigh about half of what a 6ft bed weighs. I have 2500 springs and 5.29 gears so weight isn’t my issue it’s the 4cyl engine. In the end a v6 or v8 swap is in the works to compliment the final build.

I’m doing a wall sandwich with no wood, steel, or aluminum. Outside layer is 1/2” insulation foam board, 1/2 air gap, second layer is 1” insulation foam board. Once she’ll is built I will fiberglass the outside with some boat cloth so it will be nice and flat, once fully cured I’ll flip it on it’s lid and fiberglass the inside with matting fore added strength. Mine will look like a canopy but it will be all concealed in a slid in with the tail gate up or off, I haven’t decided. I like having a truck cause it’s a “truck” and wanted something less permanent, but built well enough I don’t freeze up in snow covered mountains. And it will take a bear a little more effort to get in since they don’t hibernate like they do in say Alaska vs Colorado were I live now.

Thinking when I’m done with the factory extended frame swap, the left over frame and my old 5ft bed, I may turn that into a overland trailer.

Sick man!! I'm planning my GFC style camper build. I've been thinking 80/20 like Ripcord did on his, but I'm getting my uncle's welder sometime soon, so I am thinking I might build most of it out of steel to save cost and I'm not really sure I NEED 80/20. I may change my mind, but I think I can build it faster and cheaper w/o 80/20. Question - what is the angle on top of the frame? It looks like a L bracket. Is that what you're going to be attaching your canvas to? Looks money man! (I've got a '17 F150 5.5' bed). The master plan is to have the truck pull a travel trailer to head west on longer trips and have this to do short day trips, haul and securely store MTBs, ski resort home base, etc...trucks are freaking awesome!
