    E350 Modular Interior Kit Advice Sought.

    We seem to be drifting here but I recently finished my build with a new, clean and nice PP and I still hate it. I'm considering the move to a composting or at least separating type toilet like the Boxio or similar. I stay off-road as much as possible in my van and simply hate knowing there is...

    Possible new class 5 rig. Am I nut's to choose gas motor ?

    There's your answer. The lean towards diesels is simply male human behavior. If there's a bigger, louder, stronger tool or toy I must have it. Getting past this is a healthy exercise in maturity, IMO, but you'll never tell most guys this. I used to be most guys, I'm not trying to sound like...

    Possible new class 5 rig. Am I nut's to choose gas motor ?

    Hard one to answer. I do not like the power loss with my V10 in high altitude, which is where I prefer to be in it. But it's simple and reliable. All it uses is gas. I get about 11.5 average hauling 9500 lbs. around. I know, V10 is old tech. I would love to have some time with the new 7.3...

    Grenadier OWNERS Thread - Answers by Owners to questions from Everyone Else!

    My buddy finally hooked up his 4kish travel trailer and towed a couple thousand miles. This was a big reason he bought the Grenadier, as a capable tow vehicle as well as capable offroader, and he said it shined in every way. A modern turbocharged V6 with good software and the 8 speed should be...

    Grenadier OWNERS Thread - Answers by Owners to questions from Everyone Else!

    What dealer? Much more info online on these than I would expect from any dealer, even the selling dealer, at this point. There is a Grenadier Forum and lots of knowledge there. A close friend of mine has been thrashing one for a few months now. He ordered early and picked up in Atlanta...

    Econoline roof fairing?

    I'd talk to some of the truck body companies. Surely they have a supplier for these, I doubt they make them themselves. Fiberine maybe? They are the ones that make almost all of the legacy van fiberglass roofs used in every industry. But, I would strongly caution against cutting out the...

    STUPID IDEA

    It's a crime that you didn't watch The Greatest American Hero and never saw Convoy (a movie). Did you see Maximum Overdrive? Race for the Yankee Zephyr? The Last Chase? This stuff made me the boy, errrr, man I am today!

    Any 7.3 gasser owners?

    Ouch on the fuel mileage. I'm feeling happy about my V10's 11 mpg again all of a sudden.

    What Tundra do you recommend?

    Not being a Toyota diehard the best truck hands down I ever owned was a 2012 Tundra Crewmax Platinum. 2012 was the last year of the sliding/fold down/reclining rear seat. I don't spend time on Toy forums but I don't hear very many people talk about this. It's worlds better IMO than the fold...

    Awning recommendations?

    I've had about every awning I can name and I've come back to the cheap imported ones you don't speak very highly of. My current one was <$200 from Amazon. It's a direct copy of the basic soft bag ARB/CVT light awnings that have been around for years. It is about 20# and I can set it up...

    Best Primary Battery - Jeep JK

    I have been very happy with the East Penn made O'reilley AGM starting batteries. I used get one year tops out of FLA's and I'm at 3 on these, still holding 13v overnight with small stuff plugged in.

    Frustrated Dealers May Succeed in Getting Corp to Reduce Ram Truck and Jeep Prices

    I've been very fortunate in the last few years to get to the point where I can pay cash for about any vehicle that I want. I am not bragging, I'm not rich and not young. 3 years ago I paid cash for the first time ever for a 2021 loaded Wrangler for my wife, because we could and because it's...
