Some thoughts: 1. If what you’re doing works for you keep at it! 2. Presta valves. Agree they can be finicky. I try to use versions that have removable cores - one of my favorites is produced by Cafelatex. They also come with a bright red metal valve cap which I find easy to locate when I...

Hello Chasespeed: I’m with you and MTVR - happy with tubeless/sealant combination. A question - you mention carrying a tube as a backup - has using a tube worked? I ask because after a couple of weeks of goat heads and other thorns in my tubless tires (all sealed up fine), the inside of those...

Hello Bill: I've not found a gpx editor for iOS. The only one I found referenced, GPX Track Editor by Garfa.com, is no longer available (confirmed by email to their customer support). So I don't think there are many iOS gpx editors out there. But I'm not sure there is a big market for that...

Hello Kylekai: Thanks for the suggestion, GPX Editor is fine on a Mac - thanks for developing something so useful. However, I'm interested in an editor for gpx files that will work on an iPad or iPhone. I'm trying to avoid taking a computer on some types of trips where space and weight are...

Hello Poohbear: Beautiful truck & planned house. I noticed you mentioned a cassette toilet. We had a cassette toilet in our first EarthCruiser and while it worked fine, we decided to try a composting toilet in our 2nd EarthCruiser. For us, the difference is night & day - we love the...

Deasocld: Your brother did a nice job. Depending on his eventual potential buyer, the ease-of-sale might be increased if your brother took the time to get all of the recall & update work done on the Fuso. While still under warranty the work won’t cost him except for time, but if the VIN is...

Well. Heidi and I were sure we could resist ungrading a third time when we heard about a V8, dual speed transfercase, all wheel disc brakes, 37" tires, etc., etc. But nobody told us you were doing a Coffee Bar! Now we're in trouble! Kidding aside, looks great you guys.

I'm with Gregmchug. No sparkplugs and no approach angle on the Chevy! Howard

Hello Cameron: I use an LSD fluid from Mitsubishi also and favor it over others combined with LSD additives that I've tried. The Mitsubishi fluid I use is "Mitsubishi DiaQueen GL5 LSD Gear Oil" which I get from Modern Automotive Performance, Is that the same as you use? I can't find the Fuso...

Reminds me of a USPS slogan - "If it fits, it ships!" Now if they only had a flat rate shipping container......

Hello Dale: I'm with you all the way. I've mentioned this in other threads but it pertains well here- My wife and I have purchased five things in our lives that were priced in this neighborhood - Two houses, a 40' sailing vessel and two EarthCruisers. One of houses increased in value and we...

If I was buying a new bumper to house a winch (I've used 5 on 4 trucks over the years) I'd rank design considerations like this: 1. Minimum effects on approach angle. 2. Perpendicular fairlead (hawser or roller). 3. Access to engagement lever (engaged / neutral) of winch. 4. Access to line on...

Reviewing our last 6 years of wandering about in an EarthCruiser EXP weighing between 11,000 and 13,500 lbs for around 65,000 miles, we've actually been stuck (couldn't go forward or back) four times that I can recall. We self recovered each time. Based on what we actually used in those...

Hello: I seek a means of directly editing GPX files in the iOS (iPad & iPhone) environment. I need the ability to trim, simplify, and split tracks and I would like the additional abilities to alter and merge tracks as well as edit descriptions, etc. I'm aware that this can be done with at...

Hello Kevin: Following from pdf of workshop manual purchased online for Canters sold in USA from 2012 through 2016. Brief comparison to workshop manual for 2017 suggests process is the same for that year. As I mentioned above this lets you read the numeric codes. Interpreting what those codes...

While I don't know for sure, I suspect this code reader is similar to what you can determine & clear via the diagnostic access through your dash. That allows reading many error codes (interpreting the code takes a shop manual) as well as clearing many of them. However, that diagnostic tool and...

I think that kit lacks the Smart Controller which retails for $749. Howard

I’m just too weak to take an E-bike on the sort of adventure pedals that interest me the most!:

Hello John: You've probably already run across this, but the forums at bikepacking.net are packed with information and refreshingly free of scorn and cantankerous dribble. There is a lot of information on the GDMBR spread among several of the subforums. The Ultra Racing subforum is a good...
