Reading thru an NRA rag the other day and ran across this coupon. Good until Nov 11. This has GOT to be the best winch deal out there. These things get really good reviews, and usually sell for $350-400. I took a pic of the coupon, you can save it on your phone, walk into the store and read...

I outfitted a short bus for boondocking. One stipulation of my better half was the presence of a proper toilet, as she has to pee all the time and doesn't like to squat in the weeds. I didn't really want one in the bus...but I do like having her along (she likes to get nekkid outside) so I had...

OEM oil filter on these things hangs down lower than the oil pan, is made of plastic, leaks (at least mine did...even after the usual fixes)...and just looks like it wants to get torn off by some obstacle on the trail. That, plus it's just a paper filter and doesn't really filter oil as well as...

Building a E450 short bus into a dirt road camper. Will have to stay 2WD for now. Installing 32" tires. Rolled my own suspension lift; about 2.5". Need shocks that will be compatible with driving dirt roads. Reading trip reports from Death Valley talking about miles and miles of washboard...

Recently snatched up a 2004 Ford E-450 based 6 window short bus w/ 6.0L diesel. 157k miles. Supposedly this bus was mistakenly put up for auction when it was only supposed to be sent out for a new alternator. Somebody put it on the wrong list. I bought it for $3300. Rode the train to central...
