This week didn’t go to plan… We hit a wall on the 8x8 overland truck build, and for the first time, we had to bring in help to keep things moving forward. This build is pushing us in ways we didn’t expect — but weeks like this are where real progress happens. This truck build series documents the full transformation of a blank 8x8 truck into a custom off-grid adventure vehicle — covering design, fabrication, electrics, living space, and real life on the road. We’ve officially reached a point where we couldn’t do it alone… and calling in help changed everything. 🚛🔥 GREAT NEWS, OUR MERCH STORE IS BACK OPEN.
