My Contis are noisy but round. Maybe I'm crazy but I feel like tires should be round 🤷. I have also been very pleased with their performance in snow, which I was worried about. Probably due to their soft rubber. Counter to that is they wear quickly but I'm not daily driving any beast with 42s...

Probably the best complete small expo rig for sale in the USA right now. GLWTS!

That's a cool little unit. It's an inverter driven scroll unit. Should sip power and it looks like less than half of my RTU now. It's also 6 inches less tall than mine. I'll be watching.

This is awesome. I have the Contis and they are way too loud. They wear extremely fast on hot tarmac. Installing a set of custom Centramatics from Wehring and we shall see if they help. Anybody know if there are any shops in the Intermountain West that can work on these beasts like Staz does...

What's the plan now! Something smaller? I'm almost there lol

Followed your adventures in this build and have found it very inspiring in my build. This is a smoking deal for somebody. GLWTS!

@Howard70 completely agree. The ESRI sat layer was a big loss. The World Imagery layer is really bad. Along with with many other layers that they have disabled over the years. Gaia has always had its quirks. But I'm used to the interface and will probably stick with them for a minute. Can...

Usual path is to do both. But if you don't ever plug in maybe not. Love thing about the converter is you can run a Genny to get it up to par. DC DC is great. Need to look at possibly upgrading your alternator and for sure a long run thick gauge wire setup, breakers fuses etc.

Absolute Unicorn truck! GLWTS.

Depending on your converter Progressive Dynamics makes drop in lithium conversions for your box. Took me 30 minutes: https://www.progressivedyn.com/lithium-converter-replacement-units/ Don't be intimidated, it's easy and you'll kick yourself for not doing it sooner. I've been really happy with...

Agree with above! 4r100 is a stout tranny that need cooling. It's the gearing that sucks! Wide gals between gears. I was able to mount the Lee PS pump kit by grinding it a bit and pushing the mount backwards (towards the cab) to make room for the dual alt radiator hose mod! Works a charm. I'll...

No disrespect , but I don't think that importing is an issue. It's a vintage vehicle and customs won't even know where to start. Plenty of old (25+ yrs) modified vehicles have been imported. I imported a 1991 Hino Ranger fire truck. Imported to Virginia, titled same, re registered in Utah...

Awesome platform I think you'll love it. The 7.3 is my favorite truck engine. Simple and easy. I've only gone about 5 adult years without one. A few things: - Fuel bowl sucks. Too many points of failure. I'm deleting mine soon. - Carry a spare sensor set. CPS, IPR etc. - Not sure which tranny...

Stellanis will be lucky to be a company in 2027.

Unicorn truck. Best of the RRs. GLWTS.
