    Actual off road capability of composite campers.

    This ^^... It may 'feel' like it's going to tip, but you are likely a very long way away from that happening. I have flopped my 1985 Toyota 4Runner over on its side once and was a passenger in a Toyota truggy and a Jeep truggy, both on 39" tires when each of them rolled completely and came to...

    Demountable composite box to flatbed mounting system without pivoting subframe.

    Watch the next 60 seconds of this video: This is true for every truck frame, unibody car chassis, mountain bike, trophy truck, side-by-side, go-kart, race car and trailer on the planet. A frame/chassis is not suspension, neither is a 3 or 4 point mount. Both are undamped springs. Focus on...

    E-Series is Best for Overlanding; here's proof

    Failing to realise that a truck frame is NOT suspension is common in this community. It is an undamped spring. Speak with any race car, mountain bike or vehicle engineer worth his salt and he will tell you, if he's honest, that tuning a suspension on a flexible chassis, frame, tub or monocoque...

    Unimogadventures - Our build and travel thread

    Scheid has your pump, as long as you swap in a 12 valve ISB, which can be had with an SAE#2 bell housing. I know of at least one 424 or 427 Series truck that has an ISB 5.9L Cummins in it, here in the States...

    Designing and Building My Own "Earthroamer", a story. (with photos)

    Cool build, glad to see it posted here and not exclusively on facey-gram. I am a bit confused however, as Minimalism ≠ babies and babies ≠ freedom to travel in your new truck, go para-gliding, live tiny, on the cheap, flexibly, spontaneously and so on. 🤔🤔 Best of luck to you, sir.

    2022 RAM 5500 Composite "Super Camper"

    Avoid Stazworks and Daniel Little/DBL. You can read for an eternity the headaches those two companies have caused hundreds of people, on multiple boards/forums. I am certain there are other clowns out there, so do your research before you take 5k - 7k out of your wallet. I know several people...

    Megatron - New turnkey expedition vehicle from Supertramp, Elevation Off Grid (EOG) and Liquid Spring

    It is nice to see the 400-pound, two foot tall bumper fabricated using 6" diameter and 4" x 8" rectangular tubing, so common on F550-based builds, has been left off.

    Bliss Mobil 8ft lifting roof debut at Abenteuer Allrad

    The Landcruiser pictured was TÜV cert at 4.2 tons. Didn't think taking that photo was relevant hahaha. This LC79 also featured the new 2.8L diesel with auto transmission.

    ...and they were all correct and accurate.

    Isuzu npr 4wd

    Take a page out of the Honda Civic design manual and use a prop rod. I've only recently purchased a car that has gas struts to keep the hood open and they don't do a very good job. A prop rod will never fail and if it does somehow get broken or stolen, is quick and easy to replace. There is...

    Warning!! DBL Designs - Install Issues & Dishonest Business Practices

    There's no reason to be objective or sugar coat anything. This guy, Daniel B. Little, a.k.a. DBL Designs, his latest scam, has been screwing people for more than 20 years. He should be rotting in a prison in Haiti...

    Running truck idle all night....

    Please do not go "camping" anywhere. Stay inside, preferably in a large city, watch pro sports and the news and play on your phone. Thanks
