( $45 a bracket to have 3" wide by 5"long/tall L brackets cut and drilled with 6 holes drilled in each one, bare metal not even painted or powder coated)...

    VanKrishna: Operation K.I.S.S.

    At the moment I am just getting the 3 years of Utah dust out of it and trying to clean it up the best I can so we can use it. Hoping that by adding a mattress, bedding and camping gear in it as is will at least get us using it to see how to configure, once it is taken apart back down to the bare...

    My latest Eurovan build "Snap Dragon"

    It was in GWS of all places, the PO is a desert rat so the van has spent the majority of it's time here or the DSW!! Good to know, I really need to sort out the insulation but will probably tackle it this winter as I just want to use it until the snow flies. If I take it apart now there is a...

    Adding Cruise Control??

Does anyone know how to cross reference which F-250/350 parts might also work? I'd like to go the salvage yard if possible, not sure if they sell steering wheels and if so...

    VanKrishna: Operation K.I.S.S.

    I don't want to jink myself but feel pretty comfortable introducing my entrance back to #vanlife.

It is an 5.4 Triton E350 EB Quigley with one of Ramsey's first RIP...

    TundraBirds Go! Picture Thread for Tundras and T-100s

    My solution turned out to be "good from afar, but far from good" however, $11 versus $200 I'll deal with it. 1 can self etching primer and one can spray on bed liner from HD a few hours of prep and spray/drying time and I can live with it. The last couple pics illustrate the depth of disparity...
