Worked on a boat, going on 8 years, all is fine. PVC will last longer than you will outside. :)

Second for VHB tape. search Amazon, 125.6 inch cord hide electrical chase. Sorry it wouldn't copy and paste for me. Local electrical supply shops will have electrical chase hardware, the box stores probably have something similar.

Sounds like a trip to the salvage yard, find a cargo E350, see how it is fabricated, buy the parts you don't have on your van. Then, disassemble yours, cut out what you don't need, install what you do need. I've had E series vans, I looked up the 2013, E 350, seems headlights are basically the...

Seems the ZR2 at $62k is another city cowboy truck, you know, for that 32 year old attorney living in an apartment in Ft. Worth that has a small parking space and limited storage. He'll load it and mod it, wear his North Face jacket and go to the office, then head to Burning man for a week each...

Why can't the bike go in the back of that F 150?

I think a lift gate could carry toys on the back without taking up interior space in the box. Years back, I thought about military trucks, 2.5 ton and 5 ton with boxes, some have expandable van boxes which would be prima.

I think it all started with a wrong turn in my VW bug, ending up in a river and floating down stream to a sandbar that was dry enough to sleep on. A Deputy Sherrif got stuck in a farmer's field the next morning trying to reach us to run us "kids" out of the area, we learned that a '65 Ford...

do you have a reference that doesn't require a membership to read? pretty amazing that a tree would not grow in 132 years. think about it.....

IMO, GRMS is fine for short distance como, say you're staying in a campground, you can call back to camp from the outhouse and ask for more paper if they run out. They are cheap radios and handy, but don't expect reliability a mile away in high terrain. Just to be clear, every radio, or any...

Nice bikes here, when I was 15 another buddy rented a 125cc bike for me and we rode down to the lake and back, then it was about 125-130 miles round trip, which cured me of ever trying to ride a small motorcycle for more than 20 miles. That TW 200 looks interesting but for a small bike, even...

Get a Jumping Jack, 3 kids on a queens bunk, parents in the other queen bunk and the baby next to mom, on the floor, in a bassinette. Don't put babies in bed with sleeping adults!

I've never heard of a guy leaving his GF at camp to go riding! Where do you camp? (LOL) All primary means of radio commo is "line of sight" regardless of mode (AM/FM/CW) or frequency. A secondary means of radio contact is by "skip" or "bounce" where a radio signal bounces off of atmospheric...

Agreed and I don't try to use an F-150 to crawl over rocky terrain. However, a local lime quarry operation not far from me uses F-150s in the quarry, mostly hauling equipment and crew, they travel that area over rocky steps cut out of the walls of the quarry, but, oh my, not a Lexus in sight...

Does this rig have an island queen size bed you can walk around so you don't need to crawl over someone for that 2 a.m. pottie run? Speaking of the pottie, can you have a 30 gal black water and grey water tank? Entertainment area seems a bit small, looks big enough for 4 people to play cards...

Use aluminum, it will be worth more to you and who ever you sell it to years from now.

Sorry @gator70 , can you get your money back? Let's Americanize your question; Is this IN demand? Certainly good trucks, but there are better choices for Overlanding in the States.

No! But, it's your money, if that tickles your toes, don't worry about the problems ahead, if you have issues then just fix'em. Everything breaks sometime. Go check the Ranger, might consider a Bronco.

Looks like rocket science, let's make it simple, heat air with any heat source, turn on a fan and blow air past the heating source, bam!, forced air heating system. Gat an ammo box, flex exhaust pipe, propane burner and tank along with a battery operated fan and put it all together. :)

Just buzzed through this thread expecting to see off "grid" trailers but only saw off road types, is there a difference?

it's a flam and cymbal, a rim-shot is striking the rim of the head and the drum head at the same time, sometimes done by placing a drum stick on the head of the drum and the rim then striking that stick with another. ! You can ask Alexa. I never burned TP, it goes down the toilet or gets...
