    Tool Overkill?

    Great work and you already did the most important thing which was swap out the jack setup. Ok I totally understand on using the ratchet as breaker....but I recently got a Tekton 1/2 ratchet BECAUSE it has the same max torque as the breaker bar :) 560lbs for a flex head, angle arm, quick release...

    Looking for a comparison of 270 awnings

    I absolutely love my 23Zero Peregrine 270 awning and walls.3 https://23zero.com/product/peregrine-270-us-passenger/ I had the Darche and really think 23Zero fixed everything I didn't like about the Darche. Before I owned an Hannibal no pole straight out awning which was the super cool thing back...

    FJ75 Troopcarrier from the Middle East

    You are running a big group even for a Troopy, good idea on the extra rig while things get sorted.....but at least you are getting the family out and that is all that matters. Those lady bugs must have been crazy to see in person.

    @Atl-atl well if you need a place to work on your rig after the house sells (depending on the new digs) let me know.. I don't have a garage but I do have a concrete slab and plenty of tools :)

    Is 4x4 really necessary for a cabover build?

    With both of my vans 4wd was more about control and making sure I didn't get stuck. Rain during the night can really change a campsite or road as others mentioned. Hard sand with soft spots can stop you instantly. I am of the school of engaging all my levers and buttons BEFORE I need them rather...

    Ram air vs centrifical prefilter

    I ran a FACTORY Toyota snorkel on my 75 series Troopy and used the Donaldson centrifuge prefilter, it was great in our desert DUST. I never did deep water crossings but I could see the amount of dirt/bugs/dust in the prefilter and a couple of times I took it off and did a trail and there was a...

    FJ75 Troopcarrier from the Middle East

    Absolutely we should meet up...and good to know about Riverview, loosing Murph at Camelback sucks... Good call on the Victron, I have used them on my last 2 builds and love the stuff..

    Ambulance Newbie (solving battery/power issues)

    When it comes to solar go with residential size panels...I have used them on my last 2 builds and since I have the roof size for 65x39in panels I am getting 300watts for under $200. A Victron SmartSolar controller works great with these panels for another $120 and the bluetooth lets you monitor...

    Exped Megamat Duo 10 torn after zero trips

    I have used a number of Exped Megamats and any issues were my fault and they still took great care of me. I am super rough on the one in my van and it holds up great, that failure is a freak and I look forward to hearing how well they take care of you.

    2020 Ford Transit AWD

    @Van Compass any thoughts about custom lower A arms? Something to give caster/camber adjustment? something that will allow better articulation? Every time I wheel my van or jack up the front I think about the soft stamped steel lower A arms and cringe. I am happy to pay extra for the 1st set as...

    Fridge and Dust Issues?

    I have run fridges for over 10yrs and a couple times a year I will use either my on board air or one of the cans of air for computers to blow out any dust on the coils. I have never had any issues and I know folks with truck bed installs that are fine also.
