    Unique opportunity at Mt. St. Helens

    Gas Webasto Airtop 2000 install

    I figured i'd post this in here since webasto and espar do such a poor job of marketing the gas powered versions of their heaters. I'm sure most people assume you can only get them if you have a diesel vehicle. This is just a little write up of installing a webasto air heater in my van...

    Impulse purchase!

    While I abosolutely love my Trooper there are some temptations I just can't pass up. :jump: It's a 2004 E-250 5.4 V8 with the Quigley 4x4 conversion and the Sportsmobile penthouse popup roof. It has 72k on it which is obviously high for a 2004 so hopefully those were mostly highway miles...

    Ptarmigan Pass and McAllister Gulch Loop, Colorado - August 17th 2006

    Time for a shakedown run for the newly improved trooper! Last week I replaced the original tires with 265/75r16 Mickey Thompson MTZ's, these are taller and much more aggressive than the original tires. Then over the weekend with the assistance of Graham Jackson I installed OME springs and...
