Teak soles and decks in sailboats are pretty common. The natural oils in teak make it a great material for it's natural mold and waterproof properties, but it still expands and contracts based off heat and humidity. It's not cheap. I've got a handful of boat building books that describe the...

Did you notice any high roofs? I was just quoted a order date of November 1 and me driving the Quigley conversion of mid-May, so this could be very exciting for me! I emailed them also.... -Chris

Saw your rig at the delaer in town today, so I pulled into the lot to check it out. I followed this build years ago on here and it was cool to see it in the flesh. Hopefully not there for anything too much! Out of curiosity did you consider longer coils instead of the leveling spacers? And how...

I have my Kings valved for carrying a heavy camper, so when the truck is loaded it's smooth. But unloaded is abit rough. It's all compromises. The 5160s were abit softer so the camper swayed more, but unloaded the 5160 are softer than my Kings. The beauty of Kings or any of the higher end...

I had the 5160's on my 2006 for about a year and then upgraded to Thuren Kings(3 years ago). The 5160s were a lot better than stock but compared to the kings you get what ya pay for. 1/2 mile of washboard the stocks would be faded and useless, maybe 2 -3 miles on the 5160s but the Kings almost...

How high is the 'bed' off the ground? -Chris Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I've never rode in one of these, but always but interested. How loud is it in the cab when driving and I assume they come with little to zero sound deadening material? How/will you address that? And how much height room does the cab need to rotate forward? If a camper had a over cab section how...

Thats exactly what i used to test them. And to build on that, I actually disassembled a spare bike shock pump(pulled out the plunger and handle from the body) now i'm fitting a schrader valve to that end so I can screw the "pump" onto the shock to test and bleed, but i have a easy schrader to...

Did you just use a standard airchuck? Ive got a couple spare oxy/acet regulators that I probably could repurpose. Thanks -Chris

I'm looking to get a settup for the shop to check and adjust the nitrogen in my truck's shock and dampener. I'm curious as to what the rest of you use tank size and regulator/fill adapter. This would be for my personal and friends use, but I want a decent settup. Ive seen the King manifold and...

We looked at the livinlites also. I liked how you could literally hose out the interior. The lack of sink in the bathroom(which could've been added with some work) was a big minus for my wife. But I think their going the right direction. They were recently bought by a bigger company, we'll see...

We had a 2001 lance 825 on our dodge 2500. We got it used in 09 and used it hard till this past spring. About 75 nights a year. Pros: good value(5k used) Relatively light Good room for 2 adults Cons: Horrible in cold and hot(almost zero insulation on walls and floor). Plumbing separated from...

We should get an Expo ride together up there. It's right out my backdoor also, and I'm up there 2 times a week. -Chris

I don't have a link for you, but I'm blown away by the thermal/sound insulation in our new camper with tinted dual pane windows. In our old camper(single pane) we had to close the blinds quite abit because the sun would cook us, but not anymore! So if you can swing the $ for dual pane go for...

My local Les Schwab has these on backorder for me. Hopefully next week!

How do these do w/ dust, dirt, rocks and/or snow? I'm interested in the idea but concerned about wear where the cradle and airbags meet. -Chris

I'll keep an eye out for something more along your specs. What size(range) do you want? -Chris

Schwinn tempi w/ columbus tenax tubing. 62 c-c st, 58 c-c tt. Takara challenge. 67 c-c st, 59 tt. This bike is 27" wheel, but i outfitted it with 700c wheels. Let me know if any of these are candidates and I can shoot you some more photos/specs. -Chris

Heres some pics of the Mooney. Im pretty sure it was on a roof rack and went into a garage or similar. Its a beautiful frame. You truly can't appreciate the full beauty of these hand-built frames until you remove the paint. ST 62c-c TT 59c-c. I'll shoot some photos of the other bikes. I need...
