    Sleeping/storage/drawer platform for square body Suburban

    Bummer. So close. Nice build. But then, I have not purchased the Burb yet so it was a little early.

    F250: New or Old, which would you choose?

    Mine is an '01 7.3l the same color as yours. My vote is for you to move away from the 7.3 truck only so I can score a deal on the bumper.

    2005 F-450 4x4 Utility Body w/ Starcraft Pine Mountain Lonestar Pop-top Camper

    Very nice rig. Impressed with how it was set up, well thought out and smart additions. Well done for you to recognize the value of the truck and to pull the trigger on the purchase. Regarding your awning/canopy, consider some of the Kelty awnings or tarps. They could be mounted to the side or...

    Project "Autonomous" F-350

    Nice shot with the helo. Should be Larry R behind the wheel at that stage of the race. The classes do stretch out. We were already through Pit 3 by the time the JeepSpeeds were leaving the line. I am with you, next year going the long way should be fun. One of these races I'll get to see the...

    Project "Autonomous" F-350

    Yes, that is it. Raced in the 4700 class as the engine was not yet accepted for 6100. Really nice guys up from South America; good people. They have racing experience but this was their first off road race and the first race for the Herbst Smith Fabrication truck. It was a respectable finish for...

    Project "Autonomous" F-350

    Great story, thanks for sharing the link. Terrific photographs; really brings back the memories and feeling of the Nevada desert. Your scouting efforts or just years of experience show, what great and interesting vantage points to capture the images. Beautiful photos with engaging settings. As...

    Hanging two hammocks from custom truck mounts, help me think this design through!

    Saw this picture in a trip report: http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/138140-Boise-to-Baja-in-a-60-Series-Land-Cruiser http://s1170.photobucket.com/user/jasondginn/media/Baja%201-15-2015/IMG_2905.jpg.html Clean set up. Inspired me to do the same; I just haven't built it yet. He...

    Yeti Rambler - The Tumbler to Replace All Tumblers

    The Yeti is absolutely worth the price. I have only used for cold drinks, but on recent trip to the desert outside of Las Vegas ice remained after several hours and three refills of ice tea from the fridge. While the lid is not as drop proof as the Contigo, the quality and build of the Yeti is...

    Boise to Baja in a 60 Series Land Cruiser

    Nice story and pictures. Brings back lots of memories. What a fun idea and excellent trip. And some serious monkey butt award to you guys for the long miles in one effort. Your lift setup for changing out the rear springs is true Baja engineering! Your hammock rack is awesome. Would you care...

    2013 Edgestar 80QT fridge for sale

    I can lend my voice to the size and operation of the Edgestar. I have the same size unit and am very glad I purchased the large size (no offense to the OP, my Superduty cargo capacity is more forgiving than the FJ). My first impression when looking at the outside was fear of the large size...

    Cast Dutch Oven(s) in SoCal

    Hey BB - let me know how your test run goes. I am also in AG and am interested in the 14", pending looking it over for any issues. Wayne PS-DRV15 I think refers to Desert Rendezvous 2015. I had not made plans yet to attend either. Although it looks like a pretty fun time.
