Hello from Canada!! Great Video Mike! I really like your work! Really wish we could get trucks like that Hino here. It's really hard for us to find a 4x4 cab over truck. Keep up the good work sir!

Wonderful to see thank you for sharing 🌟🙏🌟 I am just starting my overlander MAN Le200 4x4 building May I ask are you a tilting pivoting subframe And if so Will it pivot behind the Trick cab Or will it pellet pivot at the end of the chassis Best wishes

Thanks Vanlife. It depends on the amount of flex in the chassis of the truck. The Hino 1322 is a rigid truck so there is some twist but not much so I can have only the one pivot. Ie the front is fixed and the rear is a pivot. The unimog is at the other extreme as their chassis have a lot of flex which gives them their exceptional off road ability. they have one connection in the centre and a pivot either end. the MAN trucks also have a lot of flex and I suspect you will need to have two points. the rails on the Hino are 9mm thick where as the rails on the Unimog are (I think) about 6mm. checking the thickness of the rails is a good way to get an idea of what sort of flex you can expect. Hope this is helpfull. Mike
