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 This episode sees us take a much needed break skiing in France and then straight back on with continuing the 8x8 off-grid overland truck build with some satisfying progress — We continue on with the prep work for the pipes and cabling alongside securing down the awning. We then have SW Motorsport come to visit us to get the truck cab 3d scanned ready to supply and fit our roof rack, protection and ladders. Bobby, Marie and Dad test the motorbike crane by lifting a bike up with it for the first time. We of course have lots more going on and the expected chaos and fun from a One Life build episode.
