  • The day is finally here and it is pretty surreal! The push to debut this vehicle at the Expo this weekend has been a success, and the team at Bison Overland campers got it done! I shot this walk through just after we pulled the truck out of the shop for the first time, and right before we hit the road to drive it 2 hours to the Moore expo in Missouri! What do you think?!

      @@deepsix1827 If you watch his videos; he’s constantly outside & that’s how a lot of us make smaller spaces work (e.g. teardrop trailers).
      When the cam isn’t rolling, perhaps he’s indoors a good deal, but I get the impression that he’s like me: sleep inside or to eacape days w/ harsher weather, but otherwise living outside & enjoying it.

    Why is there a hige gap between the camper and the body?

  • @plus790
    @plus790 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Looks great Phil! The only drawback I see is the large gap behind the cab. Seems like that could have been usable space. Or if you don't need the space, it could have been used to shift weight forward and improve departure angle. Sorry to nitpick--it's an amazing, high-quality project.

    • @taylorhickman84
      @taylorhickman84 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      yeah I'm curious as to the design considerations leading to that outcome. From the aspects you mentioned, to aesthetics and fuel economy it has me puzzled.

  • @fatmanoverlanding
    @fatmanoverlanding 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Now that you have the camper fitted, it really needs a set of extended wheel arch flares to go over those tyres. Right now, the truck and camper don't look cohesive. Maybe once the rear bumper and under camper storage are fitted it might look more together. But right now as it needs something.

    Super cool build!!
    I am just getting started restoring my old 1978 F 150 4x4 short bed and am looking at tons of options.
    Quick backstory is I got this my senior year of high school in 1979 and it has been in all but 7 states and 2 Canadian provinces.
    My bucket list is to set this up so I can hit the rest except probably Hawaii.

      Cause,almost,all of it is behind the rear axle.I'm curious how it is going to drive on and off road.The dual cab lc79 with with a max carrying weight of 2400lbs needs to get a chassis extension in the middle to get that rear axle way back in order to carry a camper and drive as it would.
