It didn't stick because we hate change, and now we're stuck with both systems! I'm old enough too, but I still weigh in pounds (230 FYI), and I long for the days when engines were in cubic inches.....to my ears it sounds better as a 350 than a 5.7! Hmmm, I wonder if I can find a 285 V8 emblem...

Ahh...welcome to the American measurement system, even we can't even understand it! Yes, metrics are easier, but we Americans are a stubborn lot and do not take change easily. As for the doors, we will post some better photos soon, so be patient. The diamond plate, plywood and aluminum sheet...

Looks should be (hopefully) deceiving. The majority of the weight will be over the axle (water tank esp) and the entire kitchen is behind the axle. Kitchen cabinets fridge and the larder full of food and drink should offset the tongue box and batteries a bit. We're shooting for around a 2000lb...

Our school system took the kids there on field trips when they were in middle school. I've been to the caverns once, like hiking SNP, and we spend a ton of time camping in GW.....

With the doors built it was time to move forward. We started at the top, with the roof. A layer of outdoor carpet glue was troweled on. This will hold the aluminum skin down until we can get a few staples in and the trim on that will hold it permanently in place. . . We added a layer of...

Well, it's time to show some more of what we've been up to lately. We started building basement hatch doors last weekend. . What we used is: a homemeade 3/8" thick plywood panel, a .040 mill finish panel, a .063 diamond plate panel, 1/2" aluminum C-channel, a Southco Latch, 3/4" Z-channel (to...

No, the LSD was an option in and of itself If I remember right is is Bilstein shocks, slighter stiffer progressive rate springs, and some really cool steekers Yep That said, if you are seriously looking at a Tundra: If you plan on upgrading to a rear locker, look for one without the LSD...

My compressor (which is currently under the hood, but I'm going to move it under the bed soonish) is switched on at the dash. My Tundra had a blank button next to the heated mirror switch. I bought another (Not sure from where) mirror switch (at least I think that's what it was, I'll have to...

Don't use spray paint on your windows or tailights...... I'm not sure yet, I'm at 180,000 and it still runs great, doesn't use a drop of oil, etc..... The Frame Rust Recall is for (I think) 2000-2003s in the more Northern states (VA to Maine?), if you crawl under and the frame is coated with...

Vanilla is always a good flavor, especially when topped with a slice of V8! Nice looking ride......MAACO can fix any color issues it has!

With the majority of the wiring out of the way ( and by majority I really mean all the wiring that will be covered up by the exterior skin - the rest I can finish as we go) it was time to insulate. . We used RMax Thermasheath-3 frome Home Depot to insulate the roof. It cut super easy on the...

It does matter, but that's why I won't get my Masters Degree in Jack of All Trades class! Attention everyone! My batteries are wired in parallel! The snoam rectangles and triangles fill in the holes in the ply we cut to (1)lighten and (2) add insulation sure thing, give me a bit Yeah, it is a...

Same one we have, great water heater! We use ours for dish water duty at times also.

As a person with a bias towards station wagons, that is one of the sweetest rides I have ever seen! Makes me wish Grandpa's Eagle had survived it's farm truck duties....

After the trailer was mounted to the frame it was time for wiring the electricals. In continuation of my "Jack of All Trades, Master of None" life studies course (subtitled "Too Cheap to Pay Someone Else, so Just Buckle Down and Do It Your Own Self"). I'm told that while I may pass the course...

Word up:cool:

on a similar note, I spent several hours one night copying notes into a new gazetteer after the old crusty one had a mishap......

On the truck we've been using a 21 gallon tank. If we carry drinking water separately, and use the tank wisely the four of us can go a week with showers,cooking and washing dishes. Using the tank exclusively for all of our water needs gets us about 3 days in before we have to find a source to...

Looks good Mike!
