On any sort of reasonably flat ground a sprinter with a good trailer behind should tow 3k lbs just fine

I hope no one reports you to the hire company. I know lads who've been charged for a set of brakes and tyres after a few laps on the ring in rentals.

If you're into auto museums then maybe stop off in Sinsheim on the way back, it's about an hour maybe south of Frankfurt. it's a crazy place, they have military, auto, motorsport and aviation stuff. They have a Concorde on the frickin roof!!!! https://sinsheim.technik-museum.de/en/

The trail factory lift is a body lift, it's the same geometry as the so you can still do a spring lift. Videos here on it:

Good video but he completely missed the fact that the Prado has been sold for years in the US, just it has a lexus badge on it. He's not wrong about Toyota's completely random naming though On this side of the pond the Prado has been sold without the Prado add on and it has been the big land...

I wear steel toe cap boots, my toes are always well protected! and I'm here to learn. I'm pretty happy with the fat cable. It has a very good boot on the battery terminal, shrink wrap around as much of the cable lug as possible and and an ok boot on the breaker terminal, the sheathing and is...

Never been my experience. Countless times over the years I've jump started something and let it sit in the yard idling to charge the battery.

Sorry I never saw an alert for your reply. Yeah cable 1 is in a flexi conduit and as short as possible for that reason. All my breakers are well below wire rating so should all trip before anything bad happens. (But I put 2 in a conduit too for the sake of it, 150A is a nice bit, I'd rather...

In the last few years I've had Toyo AT2, Falken AT3WA, Cooper AT3 and Yokohama G015s as I'm a very road biased user. For noise the Yokos win hands down. I'd probably rate the Falken second, Toyo third and Cooper fourth Off road I'd say the Falkens probably won. toyo and cooper joint second...

This is my wiring plan for a van conversion. Renogy 50A charger, battery and 1000Winverter. I'm using circuit breakers on all the main circuits and then a fuse box for the individual house loads. Ignoring the blue and green lines for a second, everything is straightforward and simple. I have...

Now the focus moves to fitting out the kitchen unit, electrics and plumbing. The kitchen only had a cheap alcohol stove installed in it for the inspection as the fastest cheapest thing to tick the box for installed cooking facility. I have a single ring 800w induction hob to go in there (the...

Right, I'm wayyyy behind on updating this. I spent ages in the spring searching for plywood, looked at a few alternatives but none were good enough for what I wanted to try and achieve here. I almost went to the UK for some but at the last minute found someone to import four sheets for me...

57 pages. I'll admit I didnt read every single post, but it's kept me going for a few weeks now dipping in for a few pages at a time. Some thread, hope you and the family are doing well. Will the new truck build be getting it's own thread? throw up a link if it does. It's a lovely truck and...
