    Eco-Roamer - F650 based Expedition Vehicle

    I'm curious if you have any idea of an r value for this insulation? Im also trying to picture how you trimmed these "panels" of sprayed in insulation flat w/ a sawz-all. Looks great, it's been fun watching the build! -Chris

    Sweet Hiluxes in "District 9"

    How do you "fabricate" with this stuff? Is it used primarily in large panel type situations? I've also heard this stuff can float.. Do you cut it on a waterjet? -Chris

    Dodge 2500 diesel with Spirson Offroad lift kit

    I've been looking at the Carli Performance 2.0 package for my 2500, but I'm wondering what the changes in payload capacity are. I'm trying to find a good setup to help with my 2500lb camper and get myself some more suspension travel/tire size. I've got air bags in the back and considered rancho...

    VW Westfalia advice.

    I'll comment on what I have learned from my own experiences. I have owned three baywindows 69,70, and 77. The 69 and 70 were virtually the same, neither pop-tops but had the camper interior. The 77 was my love. Pop-top westfalia, not with the stove. The motor is the type iv 2.0. It put out about...

    Expedition Camper by IrbisOffroad

    I'm curious as to what you are using to cut your fish-mouths? I've been hand cutting and filing mine, but I'm facing a larger project and I am contemplating buying an ol' joint jigger.

    Alaska bound (cross-posted)

    You could be stirring up a wasp nest on this one. I drive a 2006 Dodge 2500 standard cab long bed w/ the 5.9 cummins 4x4. I have a smaller, 835, Lance camper on it for now. When I was looking for my truck I wanted a diesel 3/4 to 1 ton 4x4. My search narrowed me down to the Ford and Dodge. I...

    Thoughts on suspension for an expedition bicycle

    If you decide to go with a full suspension I'd recommend the Old Man Mountain racks. I've put them on several full suspension bikes that went on some long distance offroad tours, like your talking about, and I think they offer the best racks for full suspension applications. The debate over...

    Craftsmanship

    I've been banging around on a Surly Crosscheck for a number of years as my "touring bike", but I've been looking to move to a more traditional touring geometry and have been leaning towards the IF Independence(steel). http://www.ifbikes.com/OurBikes/Road/Steel_Independence/

    Craftsmanship

    I'm very happy to see that as companies such as Trek and Specialized continue to, or have already, moved production to far away factories there are still local guys producing beautiful bikes. If your into that kind of stuff you should definitely check out...
