I make frequent trips to ATC to visit with Marty and Jeff, drink their coffee, and eat their donuts.  Over the last year or so, I’ve been watching a project the guys have been working on during their spare time. Starting with a long bed Chevy 4X4 pickup, they removed the bed, extended the frame and started a “frame on” camper. This was built so the guys could make a few of the WTW rallies, and actually get away and do some camping.  I’m not sure if I’d call it a camper, it’s more like a pop-up motor home. Whatever you call it, it’s really nice. It’s very roomy as I was in it with 3 other men and we could still move around with ease.

 

I asked Marty and Jeff who was going to be the first to break it in, and they said they didn’t know.  I volunteered to take it on the initial trip and report back to them any problems encountered.  I haven’t heard back on my offer…

 

It’s 99% complete, and only needs curtains, the hitch receiver, and a small cover. I took a few photos today…Check out the custom rear bumper with a Hi-Lift jack built in!

 

Marty & Jeff’s new toy…..

That's pretty cool.

I hope they get out and use it.

They build them for everybody else and don't get out themselves.

Go Marty & Jeff.

That is a great looking rig. I really like the idea behind it. Any build photos?

Fantastic, Really like the opening to the cab.

Very Nice!  Looks like the cabover bed is bigger than 48" too...

Sweet, I saw that rig right after they extended the frame.

Quite the palace guys! Hope to see you two out camping!

I think I might like one of those..... That's a lot of room and I like the walk through

[Cayuse]

Very nice.  I'd take that in a heartbeat.
