This overlanding truck is what dreams are made of...it's my favorite by far!!

[@drivetheglobe]

Thank you so much!

IMHO.. next time you got access. put a large backing plate on inside of door in the mirror area to spread the load. For some reason if I recall right someone made inner piece for this and either sells them . or maybe the drawings were made available.. don't recall which.

[@drivetheglobe]

I may still do that to make it more secure. I did put the top two bolts through the main support from the old mirror.

[@SeanFillner]

Hi Mike. You probably won't like those mirrors unless you add a large reinforcement plate behind them inside the door itself. They are very flimsy without it as you probably already know driving down the freeway trying to see vehicles in them through the vibrations....

[@drivetheglobe]

I hear ya, a little vibration- I probably will add a more significant backing plate this summer. I did mount them through the original brace and put in a brace that I didn't show on camera but I agree- still not enough. They definitely look better though 😂

Great to watch the build progress and love the Scheel-Mann seats.I have a set in my Mercedes Sprinter, not cheap but well worth the cost in terms of comfort when driving long distance. Keep the content coming as this may be my next project in the UK.

[@drivetheglobe]

Thank you so much. Yes, the seats really are the best.

A little pucker when drilling the first holes in that great paint job? 😅

[@drivetheglobe]

Ooooh Yeah! Always scary.

[@alphatruckhouse8223]

yeah those locks are legit , have one for the spare tire. Ya just gotta WD40 , every so often ~peace~

[@drivetheglobe]

Good idea, hadn't thought of that.

[@Vaskomyr]

Always a great build. What color is that anyhow, looks like a red/orange. Can't wait for more vids!

[@drivetheglobe]

Thank you. It is a reddish orange. Kubota tractor orange.

Mike. Great Video. I’m for sure taking notes. lol. I have a 6x6 six wheel steering myself and will start the build in the spring. I’ll be using a 24 feet long use moving truck truck box for it and go from there. Truck has also hydraulic commercial airliner shock that travels up or down 12" Could you please tell me what seat model you used for your cab. Incredible seats. I agree. Thanks Mike.

[@drivetheglobe]

Thank you. I have the Scheel Mann Vario F seats with heat and dual arm rests.

[@sportroameradventures647]

Thank you so much for the info Mike.
