I'm looking for ideas on just the opposite. I'm thinking of building a swing away tire carrier, but I have a single rear door on my camper. How do I build it so that I can close the door and close the carrier. Or more likely, close the carrier and then close the door. This is the back of my...

My '99 F-250 has a 46 gal Transfer Flow replacement tank. I dig it. Admittedly, my bladder is smaller than my fuel tank so it doesn't save me all that much on stops.

Yes, but who would leave the light on for you? Here's a no BS story. My wife was travelling up 101 and stopped in a Motel 6 in King City. Being chivalrous types, our friends let my wife have the bed. (I wasn't there) She peeled back the carefully made bed and found a pair of panties in...

No affiliation, just saw the ad. 2007 Sportsmobile $79,900

It does have four doors. It's just that the rear doors are a little small. ;) Thanks for the bump, though! I really need to sell this truck.

Several companies offers a kit to convert leaf spring super duty trucks to coils. Coilover conversion Skyjacker coil conversion Fabtech coil conversion I've seen the Fabtech kit. It's pretty nice. Pricey though. Still... if you want the 7.3 and coil springs, here ya go!

Shameless plug Speaking of nice 7.3 Powerstrokes, look in the for sale forum for mine!

Pete, during one desert excursion (in Sept)a few years ago I brought two Coleman Xtreme coolers with me. One was filled with a block of ice, frozen water bottles for drinking water and had the remaining space filled with cube ice. The other had a block of ice, food, drinks and remaining space...

One note on FCC licenses. They're all searchable online, including address data. I changed all of my licenses to my business address for privacy reasons.

I've had two sets of BFG AT's on my F250. I've also run BFG's on pretty much all of my trucks including a Toyota with 31's and my Bronco with 32's or 33's. The first set on my 250 gave me nothing but headaches. Took tons of weight, balanced funny, rode rough, etc. I told the folks at Discount...

I've never used this stuff, but have thought about it. T-Track AW Direct does mostly tow truck supplies, but they have a ton of lights, straps, recovery equipment, etc.

Tom, I'm a BC for San Diego Fire, a Planning Section Chief for an Interagency IMT and a Planning Team Manager for CA-TF8. The Dodge is a build based on using the Ford in fire camp for the past 10 years. There's nothing wrong with the Ford... just wanted a new truck and a nicer Callen.

It is a nice rig. I'm buying a house and need the cash. The Dodge is newer and has a nicer shell. I'm not getting rid of the Bronco. Therefore, the Ford must go. And yeah, the Ford is a 7.3.

Nope. I probably will remove the air dam. I don't do any hardcore wheeling with this rig, but you never know. I definitely like the 285's. I'm debating a leveling kit and 315's, but I'm not sure I want to go that route again.

Good tip on the air dam. I guess I'm trying to squeeze every mile per gallon I can out. How do you like the Toyo 285/75's on that rig? I'm thinking of going that direction when my 285/70's wear out.

I believe that Sportsmobile also does a Sprinter 4x4 conversion.

I swore that I'd keep this one stock. Yeah, right... I picked up this Dodge at a dealer in Grass Valley, CA last summer. It's a used 2007 2500 Quad Cab long bed 4X4 with the absolute last of the 5.9 Cummins to go in a Dodge. I wanted a little more room in the bed/bedroom than my Ford had and...

Updates Hey all, sorry for the bump, but I really need to sell this thing. A few updates - I've now paid the reg through June 2010 so you don't have to worry for a year. Here's a few new pics.

I've also used equipment from Maximum Signal with great results. I travel to large fires across the west in the summer. I need to get data there if at all possible, so I use a direct connection amp from Maximum Signal with a yagi at time. I'm very interested in how well the Wilson mounts work...

Hello all. At some point (hopefully soon) I'll be doing the radio install on my new Dodge 2500. I'm not opposed to drilling holes, but I have a cab-over aluminum skin/steel frame shell. The pic below is similar to my current set up, but is of my old Ford. Note where the mag mount antenna is...
