    Ambo vs E350 4x4 vs Excursion vs 1 ton w/ topper. Pros and cons of each.

    Hello Skooter. Thank you for the welcome. I am at 8 mile and Woodward now but grew up in Trenton. Its funny the last 3 trucks, 2 diesels and a lifted Bronco I sold to guys from White Lake, and I got the black truck from Howell. Thats where all the good trucks are for sale too. Are you building...

    1996 Disco 5 Speed 4.3l Vortec engine

    So it's still for sale. I saw it a few months ago and people were asking if you sold it and you never responded. I see you were working. I need to crunch some numbers but I like this a lot. Its turn key fly and drive to Detroit right?

    Ambo vs E350 4x4 vs Excursion vs 1 ton w/ topper. Pros and cons of each.

    Hello, I am Lane. I am new here within the last couple of months and have been inspired by all the creative energy here. Im looking to get out in the world and never look back. I started out looking for an suv type vehicle. Was looking at 80s, WJs, Monteros, etc. Then I was digging the pickups...

    E350 4WD Camper Van Build

    Good info. So it would not be worth its weight. How top heavy does that tent make it feel? I know you are selling so it must have had its downsides. I am a man and his dogs and you have a family so is it just that. You need to accommodate too many variables? So you need more size space and room...

    E350 4WD Camper Van Build

    What was the fate of that rack that was on the top when you purchased? Im assuming its long gone. Is that a custom rack or are those mass produced? What is its intended use maybe I can search by that? Thank you and good luck on the new project.

    Project "Autonomous" F-350

    This is a hotly debated topic that will rage on for years. I am fairly young (32) but I am a Diesel Engineer at Detroit as well as my father and grandfather 30 years a piece. I own a 6.9, a 7.3idi Banksed, a 7.3psd, and a 6.5 Detroit in a Chevy. I just bought a 460 because for one gas is cheaper...

    SOLD.... Mitsubishi Delica L400 4x4 Expedition Van for sale $12,500

    Wow amazing rig. I saw it on the Va craigslist also. Now this is every bit of a 12 grand Delica. Too bad I'm in the states or we would be talking a deal. I have looked at a few 90 Delica in Va but decided to get one from Germany where they are LHD and manual and really cheap for some reason. I...

    My OBS build inspired by Portal members.

    I was browsing ideas and came across this flatbed. I always liked the Aussie style Hilux flatbeds and think I may want to go along those lines a little bit. I found this custom flatbed and with a few touches I like specific it would be perfect to put the topper onto. Anyone know where to even...

    My OBS build inspired by Portal members.

    Fresh meat. I went and got my new Duratrac mounted and they ride nice. Not much road noise for an aggressive tread. Now I just need to get them muddy and we will see how they do. A pickup truck with open diffs won't do much. I mentioned that this was inspired by members here and this is how. I...

    My OBS build inspired by Portal members.

    Im starting a build here and wanted to give a little backstory. I am in my early 30s and wanted to get outside more I've been busy chasing the dollar and wanted to get back to my roots and nature. I grew up in the outdoors of Michigan and lost my way in my early 20s and got away from the things...

    OBS F250 slow adventure build

    Great build and very detailed insight I appreciate that. As a owner of now 4 OBS Fords this thread really helped me decide that I wanted to build a OBS into a camping rig. I already own 3 diesel OBS and a just recently got rid of a 90 Bronco. My plan when joining this website and setting out on...

    1999 Dodge 2500 CTD Build AKA Han Solo

    Great read and great build. I was online looking at those same tires yesterday best I could get was $196 in 285/75r16. These are for my 96 f350 so I looked for some 255/85 and could only find bfg km2. What size tires are those replacing? We have the same size truck. I had 305/75r16 Toyo Open...

    '86 Mitsubishi Delica 4x4 turbo diesel, 5spd, 123k. California reg'd, maintenanced

    Not a rant or flame. Its just my opinion based on lots of research. Nobody said anything about Nissan Skylines or bringing cars to sell. You are offering this for sale. Why would someone pay 15 grand when they can pay 6. ANY car over 25 years old can be imported. So all those examples will be...

    '86 Mitsubishi Delica 4x4 turbo diesel, 5spd, 123k. California reg'd, maintenanced

    "You may be able to find a "cheaper" van, but it will likely need 5k$ in maintenance done, as well as importation fees and full sales tax to DMV for transfer....I have done all the work and paid all the fees." Is the price on this van based on that statement alone? Or because its legal in Cali...

    Best value Suburban as an all arounder

    Lightly used just means used enough to not break until you actually use it. Look for one with about 180k with a rebuilt or new motor at some point.

    Best value Suburban as an all arounder

    That looks clean Troopy but why do you need a lift? That will totally change the ride and with a 350 and those tires to will reduce mpg. Whats the rear end? It could be a 342 and that would be not fun. I say if you want a slight lift find a 2500 with a 350. It has a natural lift. You can fit...
