forxlr8n Posted June 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 The interior has been gutted. I've installed dynamat front to rear, roof, firewall, inside and out on the doors. The Alpine is sitting on a shelf along with 4 new air ride seats. "If you can not measure it, you can not improve it." Lord Kelvin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpsinc Posted June 6, 2016 Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 Looks like a fun project. I have a 4700LP with a Stalick bed and a TS. Works great. Bought it from an SKP. I would like to do what you are doing only because I am a fabricator and could add custom touches as I see fit, but the Stalick works great as an OEM product. Enjoy the journey.

Grassy Posted June 9, 2016 Report Share Posted June 9, 2016 Forx, The fold down rear seat (that converts to a bed) was one thing that allowed us to register our rig as a RV.. have you already got it registered as such ?

The four I'm going to use are A) refrigerator B.) 110 v power C) Heat or A/C not provided by the truck D) cooking item. I have a dc Norcold small frig, 110 power inverter and cables. Trying to get a park heater now (from DEX) and a small microwave. "If you can not measure it, you can not improve it." Lord Kelvin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spindrift Posted June 28, 2016 Report Share Posted June 28, 2016 Are those Recon LEDs? I have their shorty light bar on the front of my truck and it will turn night into day. Very nice, BTW. The truck has an ever-so-slight Mad Max theme goin' on. 2012 F350 KR CC DRW w/ some stuff 2019 Arctic Fox 32-5MCindy and Tom, Kasey and Maggie (our Newfie and Berner) Oh...I forgot the five kids.

forxlr8n Posted June 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2016 The LED's came from amazon. They are 2 spot and 2 flood. The bumper is 23" tall made from 1/4" grade 50 steel, this combined with (8) 1/2 bolts and a double frame rail truck. Bad news for anything that jumps out in the road. I'm going to make a roof rack for it also, but it will have to wait till after the bed is painted and installed. I think i'm going to paint the bed satin black now instead of the cab color. Thoughts?
