Been following your build and thought you guys dropped off the planet, so great to see the end result. What an amazing build and journey, enjoy and safe travels👍
Great to see you have created such an awesome rig, I've watched your build and really appreciated the insight with your tearing down and rebuilding. Enjoy the results of your hard work.
Congratulations on an awesome job, lots of blood, sweat & tears I bet. Safe travels, we may see you on the road one day. Looking forward to the next video.
Awesome job guys. The rewards to come will be worth it. I would love to know who made your pod on the back. As I am about to start my build in April. Ish
Thanks mate, we're so happy with her! Box was built by Damien at Transition Composite Panels in Perth. He did all the cabinets inside too. Highly recommend his attention to detail is 2nd to none!
Thanks mate! Absolutely, It was done by Damien at "Transition Composite Panels" in Perth. highly recommend! His skills and attention to detail are second to none.
Not at the moment, we've been moving towns every 3 months or so ever since we met 4 years ago. Gonna have a break from that in Melbourne for the next little while and then head overseas for an extended trip. Suzie will be waiting for our return I'm sure 😂
Looks brilliant, especially when you know where you started from. May I suggest you go easy with the awning winder handle. We have the same awning, but around 14 years old, nothing wrong with it at all; but the winding handle..... There is a small aluminium axle pin where the handle twists from its straight neat storage position, to the dogleg winding position. Sometimes with wind or what have you, you end up putting a bit more pressure into the winding and that little pin and its housing just fails. I repaired ours a few times, including changing the 150mm (?) long aluminium sleeve with the spring in it, to a steel pipe. In the end I popped into a blind place in our local shopping strip and picked up the middle of three lengths available for external sunblind awnings on houses. Easy peasy, we just store it under our mattress in-between the slats. Its incredibly strong, longer so I'm not standing on my toes, and just does the job with no fuss. And, most importantly, super cheap compared to the original replacement item. Yeah, the overhang, I did wonder about that.... 😀
So, after watching the video 3 times, I have some questions 1) How do you plan on easily disconnecting the accordion rubber and closing up the passthrough when you want to take the slide on camper off? OR is it that 99% of the time it will be on the truck, and it's really only a slide on so you can take it off once a year and use the truck as a truck? 2) I spotted the locating pins for the camper to align with the truck tray, but didn't spot any fixings. I assume you're just bolting up through the sheet metal into some threaded holes in the campers subframe? 3) Did you make that initial folding mechanism for the stairs, or is that just part of whatever kit you bought? (The initial fold to bring the stairs further into the truck before collapsing the stairs) 4) are those stairs fiddly to put up everytime, or was that just the first time?
Haha Terry you must be our most dedicated watcher! 1) you're 100% right, not planning to take it off at camp sites or anything only when we need truck will it come off. Mind you the window only takes 5 minutes to put back in once you get the hang of it. 2) Yep bolting up through the tray into the sub frame. Those locating pins have m12 threads in them. Not just through the sheet metal though the recivers the pins locate into are braced into the structure of the tray. 3) look up "glow step revolution" ridiculous name for them but a 10/10 product. There are a few different types, the ones we got come with that folding mechanism. You pay for it though ~$2k all up 4) haha it was my first time. You're supposed to collapse the stairs and then lift them into the under tray section. Super easy when you do it properly 😂
@@youmesuzie dude, I've watched most of your stuff multiple times. 2) okay, did you make the pins/receivers or buy? Im going to go down the same path but if there is a product I can just buy off the shelf, that will save me the hassle 3) alright, Googling them now Thanks dude
Thanks for the update. Finale? Thank you for sharing the SU2IE journey. It’s because of you guys I bought wheels and tyres from Kim Bolton. But! How did you finish off the front lower step that you cut off? I have to do the same on ours when I fit the wheels next week on our NPS300.
hey Bron, no problem! thanks for always watching! The plan was to weld some flat bar to the end of the step where I cut it off and add an additional support. I never ended up getting around to it, the step is less ridged now than before but its actually not bad without any extra bracing.
Awesome. I’ll probably do the same. How did you get on with getting the compliance done once the new tyres were fitted? Did you have to put flares on the front? I couldn’t detect any from the video. So many questions. Sorry guys…
@brontarlabta.k.a.briantayl3484 haha all good happy to answer all the questions! Compliance was easy, had to get an engineer to inspect and issue a blue plate and then take Suzie back over the pits at the department of transport. It was a bit annoying cause it ment a full roadworthy again so I was scrambling to get her back up to scratch for that. Yep flairs on the front, they came with the kit that AAV supplies with the wheels. Along with a gear drive to put in the speedo sensor.
Hey guys we love your truck and you have done a awesome job and looks fantastic. Could you tell me where you brought the pass through rubber seal that you installed in rear window of truck to the camper ? Cheers
Cheers, we're so happy with her! It had to come from the states, not 100% sure if we got it though this website but they are the manufacturer www.accordionboot.com/camper-shell-pass-through-boot
Sweet thanks for the info😊 we are also building a truck camper in Tasmania and we have been watching your bild from the start you guys have done a magic job well done .hope to see more of your adventures now in Suzie 😁👍
Great you’ve put a lot of work into the build. What’s your rear overhang length with the bike from the centre of the rear axle? Only allowed 60% of wheel base. Some people are saying that if you have something removable without tools, like the bike, then it doesn’t count. Not sure about that. Have you looked into it?
Hey mate, we're definitely over 60% overhang with the bike. From memory I think we have a spare 300mm from the back of the tray to stay below it but the bike is over that. From my understanding removable or not it cannot go over the 60%. I figured we would just cross that bridge if we ever got pulled over by it 😉
@stand4807 3/4 gun is really only needed for the wheel nuts when they're good and seized. I've only got 1 so I leave it at work. Full-time in the truck I have a 1m 3/4 breaker bar and a 1/2 gun. If I was rich I would get another 3/4 gun but hard to justify the price just for the wheel nuts
when are you guys going to release more videos seems like you dropped of the face of the earth . i have enjoyed your content just finished watching all your videos
Hi guys where the fuck have you been I take it you have both been working long hours. Last time I saw you you were ripping out the inside of cab and cleaning it
Haha sorry Nigel, I wish we had a better excuse, Suzie was just consuming all of our time and we moved a couple of times for Immanuellas contracts too. Ended up saying goodbye to WA and crossing the Nullarbor. We'll stay put in Melbourne for the next little bit, hopefully with some more time to work on videos!
Been following your build and thought you guys dropped off the planet, so great to see the end result. What an amazing build and journey, enjoy and safe travels👍
Excellent to see that it is now all finished, thanks for the update.
Great to see you have created such an awesome rig, I've watched your build and really appreciated the insight with your tearing down and rebuilding. Enjoy the results of your hard work.
I’m literally dying for more content! Is there more videos on the horizon?! Absolutely huge fan of the channel.
Congratulations on an awesome job, lots of blood, sweat & tears I bet. Safe travels, we may see you on the road one day. Looking forward to the next video.
Well done ! looks amazing, hope to catch you on the tracks some time. 👍
Thanks mate!

Mind if I ask who built the camper pod please
Thanks mate! Absolutely, It was done by Damien at "Transition Composite Panels" in Perth. highly recommend! His skills and attention to detail are second to none.
Thank you very much.
Are you doing the full lap?
Not at the moment, we've been moving towns every 3 months or so ever since we met 4 years ago. Gonna have a break from that in Melbourne for the next little while and then head overseas for an extended trip. Suzie will be waiting for our return I'm sure 😂
Awesome and some times you just need to wind down and relax.
Absolutely!
Nice looking good I'm looking at doing the same thing hope there's more build vids coming since the interior
Looks brilliant, especially when you know where you started from.

Great to know Allan, thanks! Will be cautious of it now. We love the awning but it's definitely on the flimsy side.. what overhang? 🙈
Glad to see all 3 of you back here again. Susie's looking really good. Any plans for a more detailed walkaround?
Yep! I would say it's coming soon but instead I'll just say it's coming next 😂
Great to see how it all turned out for you after the hard work!

@@youmesuzie dude, I've watched most of your stuff multiple times.
2) okay, did you make the pins/receivers or buy? Im going to go down the same path but if there is a product I can just buy off the shelf, that will save me the hassle
3) alright, Googling them now
Thanks dude
Did you make the location pins and receivers yourself? Or off the shelf?
@terrydou7938 they are the design of Damien who built the camper, 40mm SHS pins that drop into 50x3mm SHS recievers that I built into the tray

Fantastic build you guys should be proud.....just wondering where you got those 50 lt water tanks from?
Hey mate, tanks are made by "Poly Mate" in Queensland. I got them from here: www.rainagaintanks.com.au/tanks-hood-diverter
Hey guys we love your truck and you have done a awesome job and looks fantastic. Could you tell me where you brought the pass through rubber seal that you installed in rear window of truck to the camper ? Cheers

WOW that’s the mother of all updates on a build, looks proper
So epic guys super inspirational and some hard f’ing work hey
Well done
Hey guys, are you still with us haha, question for you, where did you get the paint job, paused so many times trying to read the sign lol
Well done guys, looking good. :-)
Great you’ve put a lot of work into the build. What’s your rear overhang length with the bike from the centre of the rear axle? Only allowed 60% of wheel base.

@@youmesuzie yeah we’re building a 4600 box on a single cab and I think we’ll have a 7/8cm margin.
@@youmesuzie get in touch if you are around Jindabyne, we’re starting our build mid march hopefully
What size impact gun and socket is it your using for the wheel nuts?
Just the standard milwaukee 3/4 inch gun. Socket is 41mm
@youmesuzie I got 1/2 milwaukee gun and not sure if I should upgrade it or keep it
@stand4807 3/4 gun is really only needed for the wheel nuts when they're good and seized. I've only got 1 so I leave it at work. Full-time in the truck I have a 1m 3/4 breaker bar and a 1/2 gun. If I was rich I would get another 3/4 gun but hard to justify the price just for the wheel nuts
@youmesuzie awesome 👌, guess I'll just stick with my 1/2 and get 3/4 breaker bar
looks so good! time flys!
Wow what a change, I'm curious did you get your habitat built in WA?
Yeh by Damien at "Transition Composite Panels" down in Rockingham. Highly recommend him, everything he did came out 10/10
What brand is door on camper please ❤
Hey mate, windows, hatches and door were all custom made by AJ plastics in QLD
when are you guys going to release more videos seems like you dropped of the face of the earth . i have enjoyed your content just finished watching all your videos
The truck/ camper looks fantastic we’ll done to you both
“I dont even have kids so I can say that” 😂😂
So Good
👍
