I don't often get an opportunity to be awesome AND help out a fellow Oregonian . . . :) (As you might suspect, these get bigger if you click them.)

Thanks, buddy. That was helpful. Not sure why I didn't see/remember it from then.

Does anyone know where the truck is located? Header information has poster in Oregon but phone number is a Denver area code.

I want to add my sympathies for the loss of the photos. :( Such a great build thread; I've always appreciated all the effort you put into sharing with the forum participants. Good luck with the recovery.

Thanks for posting the photos. Congratulations on getting your trailer; looks nice.

Thanks for letting us know how you're getting along. Glad to hear all is good with the rig. Keep enjoying your travels, Mike

Bless you, sir, for solving a big problem. I hope we all make you rich. ;)

I, too, am eager to see what's next. Congratulations to you on the sale, and to the new owner for getting a world-class vehicle.

Dr. Dan is one of the country's most experienced Unimoggers and his group's trips through the Altair Desert were high level inspiration for a lot of us 10-15 years ago. As is obvious from the photos in his album: he and the truck are both very capable off-roaders. I haven't seen Dan or the...

Hey, Jason--The "soundbar" overhead speakers got discarded before I got it. EarthRoamer also took out all of the stock padding, trim, etc. from that area. FWIW, I did have Paul install the tweeter kit on the dash top and upgrade the at-your-knee speakers, so in the end, it sounded okay (and...

Check here: http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/26415-Mikey-s-Sprinter-Expedition-Camper-Systems for some more information about the AC system in the my first Sprinter. Unfortunately, the photos vanished with Picasa Web, but it'll give you the general idea. As you'll see, putting the...

This XV-JP originally came from EarthRoamer with a Teraflex suspension and, while it was decent on a trail, I didn't like the pavement handling at all. In fact, all the flex seemed to me to make it scary on freeway-speed curves. So I wanted to change it pretty early on. The suggestion to change...

In response to a request, I've annotated the set of bathroom related photos to (one hopes) make it clearer what's going on with the bathroom layout. Note that doing this layout requires three custom parts: the steel shower pan, the catchment box that houses the bilge pump, and the fiberglass end...

Ummm, let me check. :) Yep, still here; hasn't moved. The description above is still accurate in all respects.

They're self-tapping screws. It was a bit of an experiment to see whether Rivnuts would have been required, but apparently not, as the cabinets are still holding on just fine. With that said, though, I need to mention two caveats. The first is that none of the cabinets is called on to hold any...

No worries. Even though he didn't strictly need to, Mark was considerate enough to ask my permission to create graphics resembling the XV-JP's. Given the talent he and his Lite Industries crews have shown, I was happy to give it to him. I was, in fact, flattered that he liked Jame's design well...

There's screw attachment to the metal in about four places in our front (over-cab bedding storage) area. It catches points where there's a sort of flange that has something to do, I think, with mounting a partition behind the cab seats. For a heavier load, like the cabinets, you'd want to move...

Oops . . . I haven't been a good steward of my thread. Here's the information I owe you guys . . . The roof rack supports are Thule Super High gutter feet. In the old days, they weren't available here and I had to get mine from Europe. Nowadays, though, it's just something you can obtain from...

And in my typical "close the barn door after the horse is out" fashion, the price is now boldfaced and in red. It probably would have been better if hadn't treated the price as a minor detail. ;)

I don’t have much residual left from the XV-JP fiasco with Dion Krantz and Red Cannon Expedition, but I did get back an Engel fridge I bought for the project. Having no use for it, it seems sensible to see if any ExPo builders need it. The unit is the well-known and reasonably well-loved Engel...
