    What's a good propane cooktop?

    Make no mistake, anything Dometic is Chinese garbage marked up 4x. I have the 3 burner in my Northstar flatbed camper. 3rd burner is useless as there isn't space for 3 decent sized pots at the same time. It works but is slow and I don't think it really high quality. I'd search AliExpress for a...

    IMHO I'd really kill for access to the back of the engine like that!

    ✅ Questions about Ford E450 w/ 6.8 Triton Gas V10…

    I have a 2006 V10 in an F450. Great motor, lots of grunt, super thirsty on the MPG. I get about 9mpg around town and 11 or 12 on the freeway no matter what. But my truck has a heavy 9 foot steel flatbed. I think the 3v V10 is way better than the 2v (pre-2005 I think) at not spitting out spark...

    SOLD "Jake": 2006 F450 Extended Cab w/83k mi. 9ft Flatbed w/Boxes, V10. $13,500 in SLC

    Hey all. Finally posted some vids. Cold start, walk around, various driving conditions. Note the noises you hear jangling around is all my tools. Drives great, nice and quiet. The 225 mud tires make a racket, and I did have them siped for snow driving. Worked great going to the ski resorts in...

    Changed to a Cassete Toilet

    I have a cassette and am looking to switch to a "composting" toilet. Although the better units are not really composting. They are urine-diverting dehydrating toilets. Lots of options out there. Way easier and less gross to handle than a cassette. I think cassettes are better than black tank...

    has anyone looked into a fiber optics splicing trailer for modding

    I've seen a bunch of really cool splicing trailers and have thought the same thing. Many of them I've seen have monocoque fiberglass construction though. This one appears to have sort of a typical cargos trailer (ply and skin) construction. I'd hop on the industrial auction sites and see what...

    Diesel Hilux question

    Also pretty sure these Hiluxes share a bunch of components with the same era USA and international models. Suspension, body etc. if the diesel isn't really supported down there I'd do a solid once over, fix anything engine, turbo or tranny related and bring a select group of spare parts. Maybe...

    Diesel Hilux question

    😂 A place near and dear to my heart! I grew up rallying, and destroying, my various crappy $500 2wd cars up there. And that road has gotten really bad over the years so it's a great test for your truck! Man I've loved those Hilux truck for years. I'll be following along closely.

    "Cheaper" seats for overland travel?

    I'm struggling right now with the same thing. I've never seen one decent usable seat for my 99 Super Duty at a junkyard. And people price used ones like they are filled with cocaine. What's the make and model of your vehicle?

    Fiberglass cloth on plywood: order of operations

    Echo what other folks said. On a purely cost basis, most people don't value their time into the equation. Also, the TIME you'll spend building it and not camping. But if you love projects, I'd say give it a go. Keep your eyes on the used market. You might find a shortcut on the time thing...
