Id say there is a third type of person in there... The one that knows what they want, is willing to put in the effort to do it and do it right, and reaps the rewards. While I loved every portion of the build, from design, to construction, to finish... from the word GO I designed it to best...

Thanks, now if parts actually show up.... This evenings bit of work was held up by a single $5 O-ring. :LOL: Discontinued by Suzuki/GM, but I managed to find a NOS source. This single O-ring seals a coolant passage that travels between the main block and the midblock/girdle. It showed up...

Sorry, no. Due to this forum and many members and their inability to accept anything wood as a great building material, I chose to post it over on the (old) pirate4x4 forum, which has since been lost to the sands of time. If you'd like some fun reading material check this thread out.... ;)...

End of the year this rear is officially the 10-year mark for our custom camper. I know the list will be painfully short, but Id like to see who else we have here in the club. A short bit.... I designed and built our camper from the ground up. Its a true 4-season camper, that weighs 2200lbs...

Ive turned mine off using Forscan

Still waiting on the cylinder head to be finished by the machine shop, so I dug into the transfercase gear swap. Trans was removed from the chassis and transfercase separated and plopped on the bench. Its a cute little thing :ROFLMAO: The gears are legit Japanese gears, that provide a 72%...

There are plenty of benefits for narrow(er) tires. Id never consider wide, "flotation" type tires for one reason.... Snow/Ice winter travel. A narrower tire is simply safer. Especially for those of us that do not bother with a dedicated winter tire. We walk that line. Capacity, stability...

This thing was born for snow. A have to say... its looks a bit out of place in northern NV. :LOL:

Machine shop is have trouble finding some parts to rebuild the cylinder head. But I got the block back, cleaned up with a good hone. Turns out even after 200k miles the cylinders were still straight and round. So with that I ordered some STD pistons and here we are. DNJ standard pistons...

Yeah, sorry for the confusion. With the myriad of floatation tires it gets a bit wild. What I was referring to was larger, load D’s that many are running that have similar max ratings at 65psi. Going down the rabbit hole, we also have the Load E1 and E2 rated tires, with the E2’s being the...

Ive got my eyes on them for when these finally wear out. (y)

While I don't disagree, I should point out that its not that simple when running heavy. For the same load rating, a higher PSI tire is typically narrower and typically has a heavier sidewall. That heavier sidewall and running higher PSI results in a more stable tire.

We run Toyo (AT2) LT285/75R18's specifically for the load rating. We typically scale between 11,000 and 12,000 lbs. @ 80PSI they are rated at 4080lbs per tire. Roughly 35k on them now, doing a 5-tire rotation. No doubt we will get 50k on them, provided I put up with some reduced winter traction.

yep, model year changes, 2011-2016 is the same. And I can attest, they are the most supportive and comfortable seats Ive ever had in a truck. I routinely do 400-600 mile days with our 2011 Superduty.

back in town after a week and a half on the road. While in transit I nabbed these... Promo + BlackFriday discount.... Less than $375 shipped :cool: https://trailtough.com/product/trail-savage-31-transfer-case-gears/

Casually shopping real-estate in Humboldt and Pershing Counties as we travel south to Carson City and Lone Pine, CA We are both originally from Lone Pine, and still have some family there. The photo was from a spot NW of Rye Patch. (y)

Good luck. Ambulances are typically an absolute mess of upfitter wiring. This is also a platform that utilizes CANBUS, so the changes/fixes you need to make may require access to the ECM/BCM. I use ForScan. I do know for certain that headlights/DRL as well as running boards (puddle lights)...

If Tern currently offers an insulated/dual pane option, Id say it would be worth considering. The only downside with our marine hatch is that it is not insulated.
