I would suggest having the internal backing plate be taller, vertically. It should extend from the top of the hightop to the flange, or as close as practical. Glue it to the inside of the fiberglass. This will transfer the load to the stongest part of the top, and reduce the chance of the side...

I have thought about this too. How about running a wire back to the trailer to charge the battery, then moving the battery into the truck to recharge its battery. You would have to do some plug and playing to get it hooked up each time.

I have thought about this alot, and done alot of offline testing. First, CCW only for me! No OC because it might frighten civilians lol. So for a more ADV type bike it would be a holster located inside the tank fairing. Even my crf300l rally has room for a 1911 (which is the smallest possible...

You can get automotive seats and belts but probably not airbags. What you won't get is rollover protection or protection from all the camping equipment flying around in a crash. Modern cars are very survivable, because the entire interior and the unibody itself is designed to protect the...

We have tried everything too. Here's how I look at it: if you know where you're going, the trailer works. It sucks for exploring since you never know if there's a turnaround. But already owning the jeep and tent might make a box trailer practical. Sleep in the tent, put the portapottie and...

We've had a Propex for 10 years in our van. It stopped working due to an accumulation of dust finally plugging the air flow sensor. The point being...make sure you can UNINSTALL the heater some day, and tge tubing!! I had to rework some cabinetry and tubing supports. Not fun. The intake and...

This 1995 Tracker 5spd 4x4 popped up in my local FB marketplace. We had talked about getting a toad for our E250 class B, and it seemed like fate was calling. As far as I can tell it's bone stock except the for the aftermarket hardtop. The seller also gave us new parts for brakes. It even has a...

I would think around $2000

I trailer a bike in the PNW, and I get everywhere I want to go. BUT, carrying the bike in a pickup does allow you to go faster on rough roads to access more remote trailheads. I have to creep along sometimes with the trailer.

Ford has additional resources online at https://www.fleet.ford.com/truckbbas/topics/qvmp.html There is a large Body Builder's Layout Book, and then SVE Bulletins for specific things. I found one Q-92 that shows the location of many electrical items. Good luck!

We looked hard at smaller vans, but ended up with an E250 RB/high top. It's all about flat floor length vs. sleeping area. I am over 6 feet tall, so with the bed down, we still have almost 4 feet of length left open. I believe an Astro has about 2 feet less length. That basically means when...

Just wait until you see how much space all the baby iron takes up, not to mention a future baby. Bottom line, she needs a minivan. Whether you or she want to be seen in a minivan, that is the question. But truly they are the king of space utilization.

Did you ever get a Tiger? I switched from an old style WeeStrom to a Tiger 800 Roadie. Even though the specs on the bikes are very similar, I liked riding the Tiger a LOT more. Handling, riding position, and of course the motor were all just "right" for me. The Tiger had a Madstad windscreen...

Wow. I thought it was more of a gasgas road?

On my road bikes I've just used throw over soft saddlebags. They can move a bit but it hasn't affected handling, even on gravel roads. A mc is heavier than a pedal bike maybe its not as important. On my dirt bikes I don't like panniers or racks because they run over my legs and get hung up on...

We like this one. We use it in our heated van, its' only rated to +30. Kelty Supernova

Bike is in good condition with 21,000 miles. Asking $3,900. Please pm if interested.

We've had both and prefer the barn doors. #1 My wife has trouble opening and closing the slider due to the weight. Game over. - The slider makes more noise when you have to go out in the middle of the night in a campground. - You can go in and out of one barn door and let less cold air...

We did some research on ford and Chevy for 2wd conversions. For us, it came down to powertrain choice. The Chevy 4.8 liter was too small and the 6 liter too big and hungry. The ford 5.4 seems just right. Other things we noticed about the chervy - the side walls looked easier to install a diy...

Ensolite? Sounds like Ensolite or Armaflex. It is used for sound deadening in autos. http://www.professionalplastics.com/ENSOLITEPVC-NBRFAOM
