EXPEDITION TRUCK BUILD - Cutting it Up!

Building an overland/expedition truck was always going to be a challenge, but when you've got to cut holes in the cab and box it's nerve racking, and when the weather’s not playing ball it causes a problem.
Find out where we've got to in our habitation box build, our thinking, the challenges so far, Ohh... and does Phil cut the holes in the right place?
But that's only the tip of the iceberg, cos there's so many other things to think about and get right, if we want this to be our dream overland rig.
Will we bring it in on time, and more importantly, on budget?

It's going to be a beautiful truck

@GrandadBaz

Great job Phil,

@notseamus

Had to watch this one from behind the sofa (if we had one) 😮 cutting holes in habitation units is a very scary business. So Fair play to you. Can you believe the UK is predicted to have a water shortage this summer. 🤷🏼‍♂️

@London2Turin

Nice to see your progress. Of course the weather will clear up once all the doors and windows are in and you start on the interior....

@henrik.r

Great build and very good job!

Hey Phil, don't get ill. Classic situation, you've been head down bum up and then you take some time out and bang...you get ill. Plenty of Vit D, sleep, decent nutrition (including the wine of course..) and try to stop thinking about the project...easier said than done!

@pathfinder303

Very interesting video. Bloody weather !

@davep1499

Awesome 👍👍

@webmastercampervideo7604

Great progress and nice to see it on YT. I just visit Outbound last week and it looks great.

@censon

Who would have thought that watching a box get built would be interesting. But after watching all your adventures, I can understand (a little) how important it is to get everything built right. I keep thinking about how things would flex when you go off-road, etc. Truly fascinating, and educational.

@TheDrleephd

I notice that your box has a large aluminium plate around the base on the inside. Ours has too and I've had a bit of an issue with cold bridging and condensation on the inside. It might not be an issue with yours as my daughters bed is low down just about it. I've had to insulate with stick on foam and put an air vent in the floor to cure it. Good work and best of luck to you both 👍

@peterfinch3548

Clearly measure 17 times, cut once, works.

@MogsAndDogs

So impressed at how quickly you are able to source parts and get things done. Great progress!

@Aidan-tu4un

Think it’s a good idea to cut slightly small… you can always cut a bit more, very difficult to put any back!!😮😂

@Subgunman

My patience is way too short for rain and wind delays, I would have rented a garage to do all of the cut work, installed and sealed all of the windows and door. This way work inside can proceed. One has to value their time on large projects. Other than that this is looking to be an interesting project!
