This truck build series documents the complete conversion of a blank truck into a custom adventure vehicle, covering design, fabrication, electrical, living space, and life on the road The 8x8 truck camper is officially on the move! 🚛💨 In this episode, we transport our monster 8x8 expedition truck to a specialist fabrication company to begin one of the biggest upgrades of the entire build — a fully bespoke roll cage. This isn’t just cosmetic. This is structural. This is next-level protection. With the size and weight of this overland rig, the roll cage has to be designed and built from scratch — engineered to handle serious off-road punishment and real-world expedition abuse. Join us as we load it up, send it off, and take another massive step toward turning this 8x8 into the ultimate expedition camper. The build just got serious.
