Bet you all thought that I drowned in a river somewhere didn't you? Funny thing is that actually almost happened a few weeks ago, but that is another story.
Today I am here to let you all know that the "Titan Expedition Vehicle is pretty much DONE! Not only that but it has now been out on its maiden voyage...........and made it back home again.
We are so proud of this thing. It worked perfectly, no hiccups on the trip (and went 400 miles, 78 on washboard road, 5 on primitive double track) and not a nut came loose (excluding my own of course).
Any way I have two new videos up on Hooked Up Films. The first is a complete rundown on the completed vehicle and the second is a "glamour" vid on its maiden voyage.
Thanks for all of the support from my adopted WTW family and I am sooooooo excited to meet some of you out on the trails. Soon I hope.

Congrats on your successful completion of this project. Really looking forward to seeing your camper and DD's custom camper one of these days.

Cool to see it through! (I'm only about 25% through glassing the lower core on mine right now.)
You mentioned 17-18mpg with the camper at highway speeds, is that 60mph range?, also how'd that compare to the stock truck in similar conditions?

60-65 mph. The stock truck used to get 20-22 on the hwy. So not too bad.

WOW! Very well done. I like your use of the plastic drawer storage - light yet functional. Best of luck with it.
