Knapheide makes a low service body. I've seen one of those with a custom Callen camper shell on a Forest Service truck. I think I have pics of it in my laptop. I thought of doing a build like that for my current truck, but couldn't afford the extra dough for the service body. And with a...

Welcome to ExPo!! Another option for tires is the Bridgestone Revo 2/Firestone Destination AT. They make them in a 315/70R17 E rated. I think that's what I'm going to put on my truck which is almost identical to yours, only with a Callen shell instead of the larger one. Yours might be a bit...

Hey Dave! Looks like you found ExPo! <end hijack>

One important piece of advice. Never attempt to clean up in the dark using baby wipes and accidentally confuse them with Clorox wipes. I do like tingly feelings below the waist, but not that kind.

I do have to say that with the right mindset, going above and beyond your scope will help improve your skills. That being said, you still need the experience to actually operate in such fields. As a fairly new medic, I was having some trouble intubating. There happened to be an opening in a...

Bigger target. We have a pretty active tactical EMS program here in San Diego. Our guys are all firefighters who have been through the SWAT academy. Some double up as helo medics or on our rescue or wherever. They used to also fly out to cruise ships with the USCG, but they don't do that...

I had a chain shop cut down some RV chains for the 315's on my Ford. Just looked for the right width and cut the length down to size.

I can't even pronounce rales, no less hear them anymore... ;)

Actually, it appears to BE a Ram 3500 bed.

What do you have against poodles? Charley, my 65 lb standard poodle, takes great offense to this bit about "poodle shooters".

Trading a Treo for a Droid Well, my Treo has been slowly dying, so I ordered a Verizon Droid on Friday. It should be here tomorrow or Tuesday. I'll post reviews as I learn about it. I'm not normally one to jump on new technology, but what the heck.

I use a dual band cell amp with both my data card and my Treo. I have both regular and Yagi antennas for it. It certainly makes a difference. Sometimes I *have* to be online and with that set up if it's at all possible I'll get online. My issue now is that I'm thinking of getting the new...

Clamshells In the wildland fire world, we use clamshell battery adapters for our Bendix King radios instead of NiCads. They hold 9 AA batteries, so they're 13.5 volts. Batteries are supplied by the case at camp. Of course some enterprising soul built an adapter to be able to use a cigar...

Yep, Callen is who you are looking for. A couple of us here have Callen shells. I know Scott Callen was having some major problems lately and I've heard tales of long delays to get shells. In fact, mine took a lot longer than it should have. Nonetheless, they're about the only builder...

This is not my Rover, but rather a friends. I haven't seen the truck. Heck, I haven't even seen the guy who owns it but for once in 20 years. Thanks to Facebook we're talking again. He's adopting a fifth child and needs to sell this Rover so I told him I'd post it here. All I know is that...

And..... SOLD last night to a nice young couple from Orange County. Finally! The economy must be getting better. After no action for months on this truck all of a sudden I got about a half dozen calls in the last week or so. Guess it's time to edit my signature!

Hey Todd... when I moved to my new place, I found a box with Caddy calipers in it... and your name on the return address. Those things have been kicking around my garage for years! Actually, more like a decade! Good to see you're still around.

How about a Donna Frye? Once again, the purchase of a new (to me) house prevents my purchasing a toy!

Oh, you're killing me here. I've got an older toughbook that's ridden full time in three different trucks now... still keeps ticking. I'd love to upgrade but just can't afford it right now. Grrr......

I've been thinking of using something like that in red for night lighting in my camper shell. These may be a bit too much, though!
