"yonah" on the Sportsmobile Forum found some more photos of this top and the original van. The passenger side of the top has a huge crack in it.

Any interior photos?

I've also wondered about this. This thread talks about E350 frames, and flex: https://forum.expeditionportal.com/threads/mounting-a-composite-camper-box-on-4x4-e350-chassis.224393/

For the past 22 years I've had a 2000 WJ with the 4.7L (plenty of power) and the Quadradrive. Quadradrive has a low range, and three mechanical automatic-locking differentials. Worked surprisingly well. I pulled myself out of a couple hairy situations with all four wheels spinning and only one...

Earthcruiser was "just about" to start selling their recirculating shower when I checked them out in 2020. I haven't heard much since then. I wonder if anyone has actually used one regularly out in the field? I can imagine a lot going wrong. Maybe we need to wait for the technology to get...

This is looking amazing! How did you decide to go fully custom with the Total Composites rather than working with a cube van like Spartan Supreme?

I've used my pop top heavily for the last 19 years, and am looking into a fixed top of some sort on my next van. I love the view. Mostly I'm switching now because I want a bed I don't have to make every night. The Fiberine would be more appealing to me if it was covered in windows.

Over 60 issues: from the very first Spring 2007, through somewhere in 2019. Only missing issue is: Summer 2009. They are in fair condition. Not marked or ripped, but some pages got folded and scuffed as these magazines got read and tossed around over the years. Would anyone want this collection...

yes. never had a problem. I bleach the tank every few years, also.

I am guessing by the silence that this isn't quite what you all are looking for ? But I figured I'd post here first, just in case. It's now on Craigslist: https://seattle.craigslist.org/see/cto/d/seattle-1966-deuce-and-half-m109a3/7532634561.html

I think I posted the whole story here on EP a few years ago, but here are a few more details: I actually patched both my ripped tires. And this is good because my first tire only got me 30 miles before failing (my wire stitches fatigued and snapped). To break the bead, I drove up onto the...

Yeah, I certainly considered multiple spares. But in the end I just figured I should learn better how to sew up my tires - for when this happens to me only once a decade or so. Improvements for next time... I now carry: kevlar thread & a big needle (instead of wire - which fatigues and breaks...

This got me 60 miles to pavement and a tire shop. Yes, I know I was doing it all wrong. But it worked.

That lovely feeling when you've just ruined the sidewalls of two tires. And there's only one spare. Might as well be no spare at all.

Cool idea! No front passenger seat is ... interesting!

My friend is selling this 1966 "deuce and a half" M109A3. The M109A3 is the same as the more common M35A2 (open truck) in the M44A2 "deuce" series, but the M109A3 "shop van" has a box mounted on the back. Ready-to-go camper! 1966 M109A3 2½ ton shop van 6x6 (10 wheel drive) multifuel engine...

How does the Chinook deal with frame flex when you are on those trails? Is the plywood floor just bolted to the truck frame? Or is there a subframe?

Sometimes the stock steel wheels just aren't wide enough to support larger tires. I was very sad to finally lose my "ugly" stock steel wheels. I found the plainest aftermarket wheels I could find, but I still prefer the stock steel ones. Though the new ones do have holes, which are...

Well, I have four times adventured with friends who roll with duallies -- and one of those times I ended up having to pull a rock out from between their duallies with my tow strap. (It was a 10-tire Deuce ½ with old military tires.)

Nice Ford E-Series cutaway in the background. Is that your next project?
