    (DIY) Builder Burnout

    we put the poptop on ours then built a bed platform. then started camping. make it so you can use it and you wont get burnt out. that way its not a distant goal to have a camper, its goal to have a finished camper. if you can enjoy a minimalist setup while building, the goal of having a finished...

    an unforgetable night at sacajawea hotsprings

    ^^^ I have a buddy whose wife is a nurse. she is rock solid when **** happens out in the sticks to our group of friends and is always front and center to assist. however, I did see her crumble when her hubby broke his femur. totally caught me off guard. I was so used to her being a rock and...

    econline side windows - options

    ^^^ love the looks from afar, but hate how they dont sit flush against the body up close. otherwise i would have picked a frameless up myself. ive seen a couple of people having issues with the windows falling off too. of course they suck compared to oem, but theres no oem slider/screen...

    Why I'm not allowed to browse local auction sites anymore (I bought a shuttle bus)

    ^^^ it was 24 degrees when I kicked the motorbike over. freaking frigid ride in this morning, lol. do you leave it plugged in all night? was told its a pretty heavy draw and the heater will only get it 30 degrees warmer than the ambient, so I put mine on a timer to kick on about 2am. that way...

    E350 Grill colour... Silver Rattlecan?

    ^^^ yep. I do that often. works out great especially for colors you cant find regular rattle can for. best deal is to buy a quart and have them fill 3 cans. that way you will have some left over to color match other things on your rig. diff covers, brake calipers, etc.

    Roofbag.com--Anybody use one?

    :D that was good... those look like nice bags and price is right. the extra straps seem excessively expensive though. seems like a good accessory to add, but for 30 bucks id probably use some tie downs.

    Why I'm not allowed to browse local auction sites anymore (I bought a shuttle bus)

    ^^^ prolly best advice yet. bummer. I am not a fan of the jc batteries at all. had a buddy working for jci and got one at cost. this was after optima sold to them. ive not been impressed with their optima branded products since. an alarm led light shouldn't drain a battery in 2-3 weeks. unless...

    Why I'm not allowed to browse local auction sites anymore (I bought a shuttle bus)

    ^^^ that's longer than the run I got out of the first pair of interstates I purchased. and no...service was not an issue, lol. I actually married the parts girl we had :D this was 10 + years ago so maybe im just remembering all the failed electronics we dealt with. will look into these...

    Why I'm not allowed to browse local auction sites anymore (I bought a shuttle bus)

    that seems contradicting... in my experience car-quest and good generally dont go together. mind if i ask what they cost you and what kind of life you get out of them with the 7.3? i bought interstate since thats what the van came with simply because they honor warranties and will pro rate no...

    there were 4 of us total. before those guys took off phil had mentioned that I could go into town (45 min away), but its a mountain town with maybe a couple hundred full time residents at best. he said I should stay put and focus on her. if she took a turn for the worse, he said to head that way...

    ^^^ thank you for what you do man. Im sure you've had a few folks writing stories like this about you and my hats off. I was amazed talking with Phil later to find out no one had ever tracked him down to say thanks. That floored me. I was bummed to not hear from those guys this year. I was...

    ^^^ booze was our first assumption as well. he mentioned that it could have been a contributing factor, but thinks the root cause was just the radical temp change and her losing blood pressure. And np sharing. If I can save one person from having to go through an experience like we did that...
