    My FGB71 build

    Oh man that's hurts just to read it. If you were close we'd figure out how to drag that to my shop and get you going. And I have a few Diesel Mechanic Buddies that could help get it repaired. Plus, I have a Nephew who is the Parts manager for a Large Commercial Truck Dealership in Fort Worth...

    My FGB71 build

    I've got to say that is one impressive build Brad. I've followed it from the start, but never found the time to post up. I really like the interior as it doen't look so Clinical/ Dr's Office'y. I've been shopping aroud to find an FSR here in the USA that I can convert to 4WD. Hoping to...

    I have been binge watching your videos and love them. Enjoying seeing someone as crazy about building STUFF as I am.

    Build Thread: Burni

    I want to keep up with your build, so color me subscribed. It may not work for you, due to your overhang legality, but I solved my motorcycle carrier on the back of my Camper by building an upscaled version of a bike carrier that was designed by a guy I knew here in Texas back in the 70's...

    Aftermarket Seats: Recaro Expert Vs. Scheel-Mann Vario F

    These SM XXL seats look to be a perfect items for my Class A Motorcoach upgrade as I do the complete remodel. It's what we use as a base camp when we tow our 4X4. Mainly because it has plenty of tools, a mig welder and plasma torch in the basement for "after" trail repairs. That. and the wife...

    '97 NPR build

    I think your statement of getting carried away with the suspension might be a true under statement. But being a rock crawler type guy I understand completely. I prefer diesel mainly because I know how to hot rod them so much better than gas motors. Plus I can run them on waste motor or veggie...

    '97 NPR build

    That is impressive Tim. I think the gasser motor might be a good choice given todays fuel prices. I'm looking at a 2002 FSR 14' box that I want to build up like yours only I'm going to keep the box and add the bed to the rear. LIke he did here. I like how he kept as much floor space as...

    2004 isuzu npr 200 sitec 140 engine mods.

    I'd bet the turbo is toast! You aren't getting any boost. And since you say the plumbing is solid & the waste gate is stuck I'd say it's been like that for a while. I think that if it had boost, that waste gate should have hade to operate enough that it wouldn't be stuck. The 4JB2-TC's are so...

    92 Isuzu Trooper money hole

    That is one Nice Trooper! Been thinking of buying a Trooper like that, and building it with my grand daughter. She loves the adventures I have in my Extreme Rodeo. And she wants to join me in a rig of her own. She's 21 BTY. If you guys are looking for OEM parts and someone with extensive...

    Rattle can truck bed coating

    I've found that the Bed Liner in a rattle can has to be prepped really well and put on very thick. I use some on my SXS's utility bed and have beat the heck out of it. When It gets scraped I just wash the bed and spray on more. It's a work vehicle and I'm not worried about Mall Crawling Opinions!

    DIY Winch in a Box.

    I have several winches mounted in the bumpers of my off Road Rigs, and I have a 12,000lb winch mounted on a reciever hitch plate. That is the one that gets more usage than any other. Primarily because it will work with any vehicle I have, as long as it has a reciever hitch on it. I even use it...

    What do you carry on your bumper?

    Haven't run into many Grizzly Bears in Texas, so no automatic weapons on my bumper. :) But, My Bumper on my Isuzu Rodeo is a lot different than many. When I built the bumper I made it out of 4"x4" square tubing. I ran the mounting plates all the way through it so my recover rings tie to...

    NPR Build out

    Well, as usual I'm a little late to the party. Really jealous that you've managed to build your dream Expedition Camper. I''m a KLR Guy too, so here's how I transport my bikes. My way is a little different than how you solved the problem. I thought I'd share this to you and others who might...

    Hummelator Off-road teardrop build

    I had a cousin that built a nice looking drill stem pipe framed barn and used garage doors for the walls. It was hard to tell what set raised up and which ones were walls. But talk about insulated! Even his windows were just normal garage door windows. Cleaver guy. Lost him last year to cancer.
