Copper Mudguards and Rear Deck Tweak - Expedition Vehicle Build #5

It's been a busy week, Victoria has just gone back into 6 weeks of COVID induced restrictions, I feel very grateful to have a project to work on during these times.
In this video, we take a look at what I've been up to over the past week.
Thanks for watching

you could inset the LEDs into the wheel well such that the LED surface is flush with surface skin ...

Just found u, and loving ur work. But this thing is gonna weigh as much as a small planet xD

[@unimog404]

Really interesting project! The truck will be a chunky boy :D

[@dancampion]

It sure will!

[@kopeducati]

wow ... aren't you worrying on structural rigidity of the box with a big slide out? is that actuator made to carry 200K at the end of the platform ? with a slide out, you ll really need to put the truck level?

[@kathowed]

Nice!
Question: how will you keep the shiny piston things in the actuators clean while driving? (from sand, road soot, bulldust and the like)

[@dancampion]

Not sure yet, I could make some covers for them. The actuator body has a seal to stop dust and dirt from entering. Because they're electric the rod doesn't need as much protection as if they were hydraulic because the end seal is not containing any fluid.
