The Perfect Adventure Platform? SCAB 90's Diesel

Here's why I think this is one of the best options for someone building an adventure truck

[@paulrogers6182]

Here I thought putting a truck camper in a service truck bed was my genius idea. I stand corrected. Damn it! Lol. Awesome build sir!

[@foregonetrails]

I’ve been obsessed with service bed trucks lately. Think you’ve got a great setup!

[@JimSlim7031]

all the "oVeRlAnDiNg" tools who've spent 100k on their "rIgS" either hate you or want to copy your "pLaTfOrM". Things sick, looks like a good truck to drink some beers in after a surf

[@Sleeper7.3]

So real. Thanks man

[@elikultgen4853]

It sounds like you've got something I call "overlanding fatigue." There's so much hype, marketing, and aggressive advertising that it's exhausting after a while. I just call it endurance camping now. Great setup! I've got a 1st Gen Taco with a high-clearance flatbed with the side boxes you've described. I run out of room real quick even though I made it wider and longer than the stock bed. The service bed looks much more appealing due to the variety of boxes and storage options since I often have to empty a box just to get to something at the bottom.

[@gromit848]

I was literally telling my wife about this type of setup with the service bed and the camper and here you've done it! It's better than I imagined

[@buddhaweatherby368]

I have been thinking very much along the same lines as a versatile platform. Currently, I have both a dedicated for travel 100 Series Toyota Land Cruiser and a 98 Tacoma for moderate truck things. Having 1 vehicle capable of hard travel and convertible back to ranching, logging, and construction has a ton of appeal. Well done man!

[@BrianSmith-ql5nj]

Super nice! Much better than big expensive rigs ive seen.

You should be able to do a 38 gallon rear tank conversion to add fuel capacity

[@mtnbound2764]

man i want something just like this. heavy duty enough without being overblown. old trucks are the best these days, you can actually fix them if they break.

Needs an Eezi Awn gutter mount rack over the cab. Sweet truck!

[@Sleeper7.3]

@@morgangriffith6226 Roof racks are for posers! Haha no but really I don’t have enough usable roof for a rack to be useful

[@morgangriffith6226]

@@Sleeper7.3 fair enough, I was just thinking to fill that gap, all personal preference!

[@Sleeper7.3]

@@morgangriffith6226 Totally. It’s crossed my mind so many times. It’s tough because I like to try and keep this truck period correct as much as I can, and there’s not many old farm trucks out there with roof racks. The gap isn’t terrible, but it’s definitely not great for aerodynamics. I’ve been working on a solution but haven’t nailed anything down yet

[@morgangriffith6226]

@@Sleeper7.3 now you got me looking at these trucks… found one but it’s a gasser

[@Sleeper7.3]

[@xcracer311]

I drive an 06 ram quad cab with a short bed and a GFC camper, the wheel base is only 2.5 inches longer than a gladiator and with stock suspension it also has a lot more ground clearance than the gladiator does stock

[@Sleeper7.3]

[@richbowie76]

NICE ! .....do the camper tour next 👍

[@Sleeper7.3]

@@richbowie76 Thanks man! The camper interior isn’t much to look at but I will definitely do a tour soon

[@Logan_James_32]

Such a sick build!! Any future plans for it?

[@reidmartin3479]

So frickin sick!!

[@TIICProductions]

Would love to see inside the camper

[@mtnbound2764]

I’ve followed you on IG for a good bit. Love the truck dude. Cool set up and video

That's a nice looking front bumper. Any idea of the brand or if it's still available?

What size tires you running there?

Brags about how little the build costs and then lists it for $40k
