An Espar heater will keep the engine and the rest warm, without idle. Also it can run off the same diesel fuel tank, as well as keep the house area warm.

Sounds like your on your way to a new life, I admire your perseverance!

It would be entertaining to get all you guys in a room and duke it out! LOL Such passion ! Well I have a love affair with gas and Diesel and find EV interesting, but to soon to get excited about. Now please continue the discussion...

Coopers are doing great so far, no complaints

Tried Rock auto, same problems, thinking it may be time to start rebuilding starters, alternators and power steering pumps, so I know its done right and will fit.

And if you do the repair yourself, its very hard to buy good parts these days, I cannot tell you how many parts I have bought from parts houses that were crap and I had to get another and try again. Stopped buying parts online, since I had to return so many, it was just to time consuming, so I...

Mmmmm

This brings up a good question...and those in the community with experience can help...What is the longest you can spend over-landing before you really need to re-supply ? An assumption is that in a disaster things will get back to normal in about two weeks at the most (Not based on anything)...

Saw an interesting the other day in the LA times about what would happen if LA had a similar earthquake to Christchurch in NZ, Don't think many of those who live there would be going anywhere any time soon, which brings up the subject of sheltering in place and how long you would last? I have 5...

Rear seat is in it, could use a recover. Engine was running 2 years ago when parked. Down on power, thinking the CAT may be plugged up, its the original, as is everything else. Took dash apart to fix the speedo that went bad and remove the old after market AC assy. Have not had the time or...

Found it on Amazon, cant remember the name, a bit wobbly, may need to weld it to make it more stable.

I have an 06 and a 92, 250 k on the 06 and 222 on the 92. Would not even think of buying anything newer than an 06 due to the emissions nightmare. Like to keep it simple.

Mojave Road is more for jeeps, but it can be done with a big truck and camper.

Past my Tech test, I am now a HAM! Thinking I may buy one of the cheap Chinese HAM radios and go with a hard mount GMRS. The reason being the GMRS will be for trail driving and the HAM portable for hiking or SAR work.

Need to get this back on track, saw some silly and some good ideas, but I still don't see anything better than my rig. Something to think about is the fact that it can burn kerosene, veggie oil Etc. While gasoline is more plentiful it could get harder to find in a disaster. BTW will be doing my...

Rebuilt my 8274 which was ancient, and they still had parts. These are not complicated, just tear it down and look for what needs replacing.
