Simple, functional mount for the compressor, I like it! Will you have enough battery power to run that mini split off grid?

Tomorrow, we're heading out on a 2 week trip to the PNW! Just in time too as it's getting warm here in AZ... having said that, the forecast near the coast is looking like 50-60s and rain (that's frigid for us Arizonans). I had a stressful couple weeks. The DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) was...

Agreed, 3 people in the cab with a manual is a little tight. I found a center seat for mine and built brackets to move the center seat back a few inches. It's enough room for now. When my daughter rides in the back, we fold down the center seat to make an arm rest and the cab becomes much more...

This should be a fun project! It looks like you have the same truck body manufacturer as mine, Phenix Truck bodies. I think this is the model you picked up...

I don't think you're going to find a better price than Colony Tire on Ebay, unless you find a "one off" deal. Everything is more expensive right now. Colony Tire had the 335/80R20 MPT81s at $400 last year when I was looking (now $450). I paid $280 for terminal shipping on 5 tires from VA to...

Aside from the nice interior craftsmanship, we're talking about a 4x2, short bus, 205,000 miles for $210,000 ... um what?!

Looks like an incredible spot to camp! I'm interested in talking to you sometime about the logistics of your trip, as the Baja is on our list too. Sounds like you're having a great trip, all the best and safe travels!

That's a good point on the three piece design, I'll check out the pro bar... and yea, hopefully it breaks in half on em'!

Someone stole my Halligan. Super bummed, it was a gift and matched the truck personality. I actually used the Halligan for mounting the heavy tires (pry bar leverage to lift in place). Also strange, the box has a decent axe and other tools left untouched. I noticed the door was unlocked...

I sprayed the raptor at 50PSI, using the standard bottle sprayer with adjustable nozzle. No thinning for this sprayer, just 3oz tint and 3:1 hardener mix. I went through 16L and it was barely enough. Covering the yellow fully took a lot of coats. I went back for a second round with 3-4L...

Awesome! Glad the thread is helpful. Is it one of the hotshot buggies listed here in the classified section? If so, looks like a great setup and I really like the angled rear and the slide out tray. I look forward to seeing what you come up with for the high top... and the rest of the build!

Looks like an awesome project! I think your initial layout looks good for utilizing the space. Is that a half door on the driver side too? Do you plan on putting a wall up behind the bench seat for the bunk bed tracks? Since we have a trifold sofa for our bed (only thing that would fit), we use...

Nice! Have you seen the Laveo dryflush? Pretty much your setup, just automated with a bigger bag. Not gonna lie, I'm considering buying it.

So... I bought a DIY compost toilet kit off etsy with good reviews and everything included (urine separator, vent fan, hose). I did the research and looked at what I needed to make this work. The toilet technically worked, but it's not for me. All the steps included above were followed and I...

Sure, everything with the axle/drivetrain will have more wear with larger tires. However, the axles on the 550/5500 are pretty massive and should be able to handle the larger tires without much issue. Ball joints, tie rods, & unit bearings are all suspect for premature failure with a larger...

I've been thinking about ordering a sixth matching tire to keep as a backup. I haven't put much thought into carrying one though, but agree it would be good to have on a long remote trip. The roof is plenty strong, but I like keeping the roof height as low as possible (8'10" currently). There's...

Yes, the build sheet for the box shows the walls and ceiling have R14 insulation (about 3" thickness).

I've been neglecting my build thread, but still working on the truck all these months. Slowly but steadily getting things finished. The water system is complete with 25 gallons fresh, 5 gallon grey, indoor sink, outdoor sink, outdoor shower and on-demand propane hot water heater. I also built...

How'd you get that tire up on the roof rack?

I'm sure it wouldn't be an issue using any of the RV finance companies. I was curious too and did a little research. One guy said he bought a used ER with a 3.99% rate @ 20yr term. This ER is a little older though, so I think it would be crazy getting a term that long on a 15 year old vehicle. I...
