New guy, new build

I ordered a 5x8 V nose, picked it up and started working on it.

How it looked when I brought it home

Started on the tongue, put in a fuse block, made some cubby hole storage.

Nice cubby holes!

Looking good so far.

Like it so far! Good combination of simplicity and possibility.

Slowed down a little on progress, got some work done on the fender / step

Looking good! Looks like you're setting up for off road. Any plans to remove the stock tongue jack? I put on a swing jack. Pinched the stock one a few times running through creek beds.

Yes, but just to get to remote campsites, no rubicon trail, but will be able to handle the Mojave Road. Good idea on the Swing jack. I checked out your build, very nice I might have to "Borrow" some of your other ideas

Got two walls done, the carpet really gives it a "Finished" look.

Looking good. Keep the updates coming.

I sure like my carpeted walls. Good color choice

The walls look professionally done. Nice work.

Fabbed up some cross bars (too cheap to pay $200-$300 for some bars) and mounted a rack & awning
