G'day,

I have been building a camper cross-over for the last few months, I joined the forum a while ago but have only now had the time to have a better look at it.
After looking around it is nice to see some people with similar interests.

Looking forward to reading through some more of the mountains of info on here and getting more involved.

Jim

Thanks guys.

I went with leaf spring shackle suspension to keep cost down, but I am working on an independent coil and shock setup to upgrade it, and give it a more controlled ride.

I took a few photos during the build so if I can get them all off my phone I might put up a "retroactive build" post in the build section.

Welcome mate, I'm impressed at how close the real thing is to the rendering!

Thanks but the renderings have evolved with the project.

It started out like this:
