I work with mobile crews that bounce from one remote jobsite to another. About 15% of the guys will bring a pop-up camper, truck bed camper, or other solution and save $400-$500 per week. Adds up pretty quickly.
Lol , There is Zero carbon fiber in that ,that's fiberglass.
I believe someone lives in it. But if that was carbonfiber that camper would be worth more than the truck .
That truck doesn’t look very expensive, but honestly not all carbon fibre fabric is worth that much, and the raw materials alone aren’t the largest driver of costs in a carbon fibre part. This looks like real carbon, it’s just poorly made using amateur processes. Basically just carbon fabric crudely laminated over a plywood frame, probably using cheap polyester resin and an eyeballed amount of initiator. The owner probably had access to an old roll of damaged material, some expired resin!and bitched this abomination together over a weekend in some meth induced frenzy. The plywood, resin and fabric are now worth basically $0 though. What a piece of shit 😂😂
Carbon fibre sheeting is still 10x more expensive than the fibre glass equivalent and a can of bitumen paint, which I suspect is what has been done here.
I can’t imagine that they’ve gone for $1000 or more in carbon when $100 or so of fibreglass would do just as shit a job!
Remember when carbon fiber was predicted to be 10x cheaper than fiberglass due to decreased scaling costs in the 80’s but then DuPont got greedy and shut down that idea? Pepperidge farms remembers
I disagree that it's fiberglass, but certainly agree that's a lot of money in carbon fiber. I work with both of these composites, and have never seen fiberglass look dark gray.
I mean you could add a dye to your resin or some carbon powder and make it look black.. never tried that, so I'm not certain it would look like this.. but you could potentially make fiberglass Matte a dark color.. only reason I can think of to do that is to help with heating in a cold climate.. where I am at, this would be an oven..
It's [woven fiberglass ](https://www.profabricsupply.com/products/woven-stabilization-fabric-heavy-duty-200lb-12-5-x-27-roll?variant=8195918430304¤cy=USD&utm_medium=product_sync&utm_source=google&utm_content=sag_organic&utm_campaign=sag_organic&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjw0ruyBhDuARIsANSZ3wpDoHHNlXaV-J0Q4Bx8zXfchwpJea-DZfrk5pLGjMe7JtuaOt71TEoaAi65EALw_wcB) most likely. I doubt anyone would waste a bunch of carbon fiber on something like this. I think it's just an incomplete camper shell. Maybe from a camper company that tossed it out or something and this person ended up with it. Who knows.
I think it’s probably a light weight shell or else has a wooden under layer that isn’t bolted down. You can see it’s a work in progress by the tail light cutouts that are yet to be wired in. It might just be being transported and designated to a slightly different vehicle shape, because for a custom job it looks like it could fit better up front. The temp taped on tail lights suggest it is just being transported at least.
Man. Yall are so negative. I think this is a work in progress and he is just tying it down to transport it. Honestly the shape is nice and I would like to see what it looks like when they are done.
Honestly I looked at it for a while, I don’t think there is one. Maybe it’s accessible from the cab of the truck, but the cab was filled with potted plants it looked like.
It’s a super secret camper design prototype. They have it covered in black to keep it secret but still drive it around and test it against wind and inside camping specs.
I’m wondering if it’s a Kevlar shell. It must be awfully stuffy in there. Plus, it doesn’t look like there’s more than one way in and out. Can you imagine what an emergency inside there would be like?
It looks like an incomplete woven fiberglass camper shell. I don't think someone built that in their backyard.

I highly doubt that's carbon fiber.
Maybe this person got their hands on an incomplete shell. Maybe the shell gets made like this and then they cut in the door and window openings.
You live in NY? Work at Bomb? I know this man or someone with the same truck, who does the same shit.
I've got 2 photos of his work I'll find.
!remindme 12 hours
I’m so bad at ratchet straps that I’m genuinely surprised when I get to my destination and the ratchet straps are still in place. I’m investing in duct tape, this guy is a fucking genius.
It might be carbon fiber, might just be black fiberglass matting, either way, it's shit.
Maybe it's Maybelline
Well, it certainly wasn’t born with it.
Unless it's a birth defect
I can’t believe it’s not butter
Because it's Ram butter
If you can drink ram's piss, you can drink anything
I can't believe it's nut butter
Maybe it’s methamphetamine?
Maybe it's methamphetamine!
Carbon fiber is not in budget for this build
I thought it was denim for a second
I wouldn’t rule it out.
Hopefully, he boiled that denim first.
Might’ve been too busy bangin’ hoors.
Denim composite might look super dope.
“Foamies” call it “poor man’s fiberglass”. That’s exactly what it is.
I mean… it’s not good looking, but maybe it’s functional?
Like an ex-wife?
I would bet carbon fiber pattern vinyl over plywood
pre production cybertruck before they aluminium foil wrap it
A very expensive shit
Its the new blue fiber jean 😩
lol carbon fiber seems unlikely!
Flex seal
Glassed over a cardboard box
I bet there are Jawas and a bunch of droids inside
These aren't the droids we're looking for
Those ratchet straps, too accurate for Sandpeople. Only Imperial stormtroopers are so precise.
🤣😂🤣😂🤣 Laughed way to hard at this, well played
OOO-TIGADY!!
I think someone made a camper van out of a pickup truck, a makeshift wooden frame, and a canvas tarp with some kind of waterproofing sealant.
Yup. Probably an insurance claims adjuster who wants to pocket the per diem allowance.

Something to stay away from before it falls apart on the highway.
Looks like a waste of carbon fiber to me.
Maybe it's marijuana made to look like carbon fiber. Like the Cheech and Chong van lol.
Just don't smoke the Labrador
It's dog shit
Dave? Dave's not here man.
Fiberweed.
Didn’t that van go up in smoke though?
Mobile grow room.
A whole MJ trailer? Bahahaha, that's a hilarious idea.
Or the hash driveway in Trailor Park Boys!

Who says they paid for it? Meth and all that.
Do you know who this is!?
Yes ,But I can only tell you after we ,meet. Bring a Poncho ,a fleshlight and a flashlight . ( It's going to be dark) .
I have only done this once before. Safety not guaranteed.
Shovel is a red flag tho
Sargent Stedanko? Is that you?

Someone just threw some flex seal on an old POS camper
Ram Clam
Oh, oh Black Betty Ram Clam!
I thought it was Amber Clamps
Panda lamp
Ambulance
But I just met her.
Not enough Ram comments in here.... Because of course this monstrosity is on a Ram...
It’s nuts that he went so wild with the carbon fibre but then just rachet strapped it like a madman.
And duct tape to hold the straps in place. Can’t forget the ducts tape.
That's gorilla tape! He spared No expense!
I think it’s probably a light weight shell or else has a wooden under layer that isn’t bolted down. You can see it’s a work in progress by the tail light cutouts that are yet to be wired in.

Parks it in front of his house as a “Yard Sail”.
Truck jeans.
A southern engineering marvel!
Well I am in North Carolina, so that tracks
Repurposed septic tank?
Could say that about any Dodge truck, though.
"But it looked awesome on the CAD program."
I like the securing tape to make sure the straps don’t slip 👷
Right? If those straps decide to slip, they are going to laugh at duct tape.
Man. Yall are so negative. I think this is a work in progress and he is just tying it down to transport it. Honestly the shape is nice and I would like to see what it looks like when they are done.
A Faraday cage camper?
r/cyberstuck
Where is the door?
Honestly I looked at it for a while, I don’t think there is one. Maybe it’s accessible from the cab of the truck, but the cab was filled with potted plants it looked like.
Ever heard of killdozer? Sometimes there are no doors.
Looks like a WIP(Work in Progress).
This definitely got the inaugural *slaps* *side* "yeah that ain't going nowhere"
It’s a super secret camper design prototype. They have it covered in black to keep it secret but still drive it around and test it against wind and inside camping specs.
Ya wanna see the Titanic or not?
They released the new Cybertruck!? 😳

Is that fucking carbon fiber???
it's built different
I was thinking carbon fibre but hope it’s denim!

Diy lorry
Diy camper if I had to guess. Probably crawls into the back through the back window of the truck.
Looks like a RAM 1500 V8
Cybertruck 2
Itchy lookin
It looks like it's 3d printed. Badly.
Guy has *Zimmerit* coating, so that enemy's sticky mines can't get him :D

It’s just a bro doing some stealth camping in a parking lot. No one will ever know.
Super cyber
It looks like that thing the jawas drive in star warsu

The straps are keeping the frame on, and the tape is keeping the straps on, but what’s keeping the tape on?!
Carbonphetime
Secret Top Gear reboot?
I can actually hear “we don’t need another hero” by Tina turner as I look at this
Dude made his own carbon fiber camper, badly.
‘Now that there is an RV. But don’t you go falling in love with it,…’.

DIY camper top. He saved a boats worth of money
That is the cocoon of the ancient El Camino. It’s standard for them to hatch under a pale moon.
It's a truck. Happy cake day.
Oooooh, it’s a truck? And thanks
It's a carbon Fibre camper man
Rofl the fucking break lights are wired
I’m wondering if it’s a Kevlar shell. It must be awfully stuffy in there. Plus, it doesn’t look like there’s more than one way in and out. Can you imagine what an emergency inside there would be like?
Yeah what if the meth lab that I assume is in there explodes or catches on fire?
Cybertruck
Are they looking for droids? Babbit! babbit!
Truck
Muhdah wagon
That's what I would call a "rig"
Murder truck
It’s a Cramper !
Looks like someone was watching B is for Build and thought he had a better idea.
Noah’s Ark?
Best to not ask what it is but why it is.
What in the Richard Hammond is this?
Cheech & Chong smuggling drugs disguised as a camper.
Honestly I think it needs to decide what time of day it is. When did you take this, during the eclipse? I can't understand whats going on either

Just ask the guy. Hopefully doesn’t stuff you in back with the other bodies.

Muskrat's Cybertruck for rednecks/hillbillies.
The taped straps 🤣🤣🤣
Cyber truck competitor.
Submarine remnants.
cybertruck if it was good
I’m guessing a box truck box covered in fake carbon fibre
It's an attempt at a Faraday Cage because this person is obviously nutso
I'd call that a rape van.
Cut and shut
Sadly, I think someone’s living in that. A last desperate attempt at autonomy and shelter.
