Thanks dgorila1,

This is the main reason we built the rig ourselves, instead of buying one. To buy a rig like this new would be 150,000+ We can't swing that kind of expense. We've also built every other hauler and competition vehicle we've had ourselves, so why stop now? lol

We love the steps, it took a lot of engineering and tweaking to get it to work correctly, but it works great now.

As far as we know the longest box made is 28', but you can order the upright studs, rub rails, top rails, cap pieces, roof beams, floor parts and aluminum panels all from the box manufacturer. If you can weld and splice the aluminum rub and top rails and merge the floor, in theory you could merge two boxes or even take one and make it as long as you want.

The book idea is a good one, but it might take us as long to compile such a volume as it did the build the semi, lol. It's something to think about though. We could possibly narrate a DVD slideshow, I have 1,000 pictures start to finish.
