We final bolted our habitat box to the subframe using 49 Grade 8 bolts. Each bolt was sealed with Korapop 225. The side rails of the frame were bonded to the habitat lower surface using 3M VHB. We are really happy with how solid the mount ended up. 🚛 #wabisabioverland #overlandadventure #expeditionvehicle

Putting the spare tire on our #U1300L #expeditiontruck for the first time. We used a little 1 ton chain hoist that works really well. In the future we will have a lower ladder extension mounted to the ladder on the rear frame; for now, we used the help of a step ladder. 🚛 #wabisabioverland #overlandadventure #expeditionvehicle
