I got rid of my trailer for my mobile business due to it being too much to drive and park around...... and I got a box truck instead!!! 2010 Isuzu NPR-HD. Awesome truck. Less space but i somehow found a way to cram everything in there lol . What do you guys think?


I like! :cheer: Looks very professional. Are those LED lights I see in the ceiling?

Thanks!!! Yup those are led's. Took me about 4 days to install the frp paneling and get everything setup. One thing ill have to say is get a Isuzu npr if you want a full service mobile shop. If you can find a 20ft body with a npr-xd chassis that has a gvwr pf 16k you can fit alot. And its so easy to park now. I can get set up lightning fast compared to the trailer. It was like driving a boat

That's funny, 'cause I used to absolutely HATE these things when I was a lube tech. :lol: But after doing real work/repairs on them for awhile now, I've really come to like them.

Definitely tons easier to drive than a truck/trailer, too. Any other hassles getting this squared with the local law?

Nice.

We plan on going off the grid. We are currently converting an 88 Bluebird All American bus to an RV.
Should have framing and wiring done this weekend !
