VF Series 2 Camper

[wbute]

You might want to get rid of the wheels and put on some steel ones? Those alloys and low profile tyres won't last too well. Probably put a tuff bullbar on it too. Are you going to lift it up? Those jacked up Ford Utes from a few years ago would have been right up your street.
I think everyone thought you were building a street ute. Looks good and sounds like it suits what you want though!

I think you're right about the rims, they will have to do for now though, have been looking at rally tyres, some really tough stuff in car sizes.

A small body lift, say 2" might be in order, however I want to show other car/2WD drivers that they can get to these places, so if I modify too much it might ruin the deal.

Rather than a Tuff bar I am hoping to get a steel nudge bar custom fabricated, it will hold some Fyrlyt driving lights, cover the engine bay air intakes and run along the front lip, might have to settle here as the laws are tight as to what shape a bar can be.

For antennas (GPS, 3G, VHF and UHF) I'm thinking of reinforcing a section of the rear canopy roof and have them fold forwards on swivel brackets for city times. Rather than on a front bar or roof rack.

The camper will be a classic drawer under bed style, pull out kitchen on one side and storage on the other. I really like the Drifta kitchens, light weight timber construction and Teflon slides. Would be great if the bed platform could come right out for those fine nights by the fire under the stars.

Maybe get crazy and put some of those solar film panels on the canopy rise, nice angle and wouldn't ruin the profile. Hell, I've even thought of a moon roof over the bedhead for star gazing.

Like so many of these projects, the limit is cash more than imagination.
