gettinroundtuit Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 (edited) Just for shits & giggles I acquired a 4x4 some years ago, which I dragged up to Hanmer Springs. Having tried wearing out the increasingly sad 2.7 ..... & failed so far its time to give it the setup I really wanted from the start. So, I obtained a factory flatdeck cos my pockets weren't deep enough to get 1 built specially & some of the aftermarket decks I didn't like how they are put together Yup, there's a catch, buy a deck & get the rest of it for free. Swap decks & sell again as a wellside. Apparently it's presold already, she with the battlescarred bitsamissin has now expressed an extreme interest to relieve me of this column shifted underpowered rolling roadblock Edited December 27, 2022 by gettinroundtuit 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gettinroundtuit Posted January 3, 2023 Author Share Posted January 3, 2023 I started mocking up, where the tape is is the height then a pop-up roof goes on top, interior bench height is top of the long stringer @ 900mm off floor 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gettinroundtuit Posted January 3, 2023 Author Share Posted January 3, 2023 Being a factory deck the sides don't come off kiwi style, that's probably not a bad thing, means once camper slides off it's back to being practical again. There's method in the madness of the angled arse, (angle may change abit yet,) 2 piece door, bottom half doubles as steps & top as a veranda. And better departure angle! As the whole lot goes on the 4x4 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
