    Box/Cube or Custom Bed Replacement Camper on Ranger Chassis?

    I'm curious how a custom bed-off camper build might go on a newer Duratec based Ford Ranger. These little trucks get pretty good fuel economy, are fairly reliable and easily repaired. Part of my problem is I don't know what this type of camper is called? If its not a slide-in but uses a truck...

    2nd Gen 4Runner N130 Reliability

    I'm a Jeep guy. I know the 4.0 I6 quite well, and I'm comfortable with wrenching on them. However, I'm looking for something just a big longer. My goal? A dead-nuts-reliable 4x4 I can sleep in the back of. I don't need a huge life or huge motor, I just don't want to worry about it. In any case...

    Conversion Van Builds

    I've had far more success finding E150 Conversion vans with low miles and low rust than I have E350s with the diesel or even early models with the Windsors. I've pretty much ruled out any modular engined vans. I cant seem to find any builds of conversion vans. I know they are just RWD, but for...

    Toppers that Cover Lowered Tailgate

    Non-Pop Small Slide In Campers

    I thinking of something for a Ranger that is a parallel sleeping arrangement as to not be very wide (like a Camplite), but is not a pop up. More room than a cap and taller. A Van is still my #1 choice, but just seeing if there are any other options out there for the Ranger.

    Most Reliable GAS Vans

    I'm on the hunt for a van, 4x4, AWD, 2WD, doesn't much matter. Gas mileage is a concern, but the real test is reliability. Seems like there are tons of gas E150's floating around, and Astro/Safari are fairly common as well. I've heard vastly different opinions of reliability between the 4.3L...

    Mid-Size vs Full-Size (Astrofari vs E350)

    Hi folks, I have settled into city life, and either ride my bicycle, motorcycle, or catch a ride with my girlfriend to work. Space is tight around here, so having a smaller vehicle is nice (a bigger one won't fit in my off-street parking). My 93 Ford Escort Wagon has been a good road trip...
