I've camped in that very spot many times. The first time was nearly 30 years ago.

I've got a "new-to-me" 2004 Chevy Express AWD that I'm starting to tinker with and I'm wondering how much difference rotating mass/unsprung weight really makes. I know it's important for race cars, but does it make any noticeable difference in our lumbering behemoths? tirerack.com allows you...

Stupid question but when I look for information on my TRANSMISSION, the 2004 1500 Express, AWD says I have a 4L60E transmission. I looked up info on both the 4L60E and 4L65E transmission on the web and youtube and it sure seems like my van has a 4L65E. Was the 4L65 E just a variation of the...

Nice looking Ford, What size Mickey Thompson tires are those?

I was aware of the chance I was taking with Copart. For $950 I was happy I got a solid rust free AWD chassis. I got lucky and the interior was in great condition and I also got a motor that purrs like a kitten (so -far). I was pretty sure the transmission was shot before the purchase and sure...

Nice looking cutaway, I look forward to following the project. As far as which auction sites to follow.... I was extremely impressed with www.copart.com , beware the additional fees, but you can find incredible deals which make the couple hundred dollars in fees insignificant. I look for...

"Why did the Chev sell so low? No interest? Was it a local auction or online? I'm looking for my next build. I prefer a van based minibus, but I'll take cheap and reliable." I purchased it on an online auction. I had been watching it and a few others for months, I bid on a number of them and...

My first "expedition" van was a Mitsubishi cab-over. I don't have any photos nearby. My second was a Ford E250 Cargo van that you can see here in Moab Utah: I just purchased this Chevy Express 1500 AWD at an auction for $950 1/15/2018

I just purchased the lowest priced ever 2004 Chevy Express AWD at an auction. It needs a new front windshield, rear view mirrors and a new transmission but everything else seems solid. My plans for it are to be a go-nearly anywhere family vacation vehicle. I live three miles from East...

These lift kits look great and I'm thinking of purchasing one but on the Ford I Beam it says "DO NOT BEND OR WELD" why does Ford have the warning on it and why do so many companies bend or weld them anyway?

I've got an older 1997 Ford E250 with rear drum brakes and I'm wondering if it's worth the time and effort to find a newer axle with disk brakes at a salvage yard and update to disk. My current axle is a Dana 60HD 4.10 35 spline with C Clips and drum brakes. I've got the sad little...

Still looking for a paint scheme? Since you're in Utah, how about something like this?

Here's another one: http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/22129-Converting-a-standard-cargo-box-to-a-camper?highlight=converting+standard+cargo+box

I did a quick search of the forums and did not find an answer to my question (I probably looked in the wrong place or used the wrong search term) Can someone point me to a few good threads that cover this subject? I'm considering building a camper from scratch to mount on the back of a FUSO...

You can buy one of these with a 5.9 cummins ISB In the US they were sold as the Ford CF 7000 and later sold as the Sterling SC 7000 and even Ford/Iveco. The one pictured is a military version sold in India called the Ashok Leyland Stallion. I'm seriously considering building something similar...

$295 USD right now on Ebay, I think they have at least a dozen of them at this price, new never used. At this price I should buy them all.

Searching for a good front axle I found these on Ebay: The gearing is too low for my application but for someone these would be an incredible deal $295 for something our government was originally paying over $19,000 for. Specs: These are new un-issued axles used on Mine Resistant Military...

Was thinking about something like this: 26,000 GVW, shorten the frame by around 5 feet and put a camper on the back, Make it look a little like a Dakar T5 Truck: Perhaps some day in the future convert it to 4x4. For some reason I really like the 5.9 Cummins 12 Valve and this already has...

There are a ton of bolt on performance parts for the 6BT. Super easy to get 300 hp - 400hp out of them and a lot more if you spend more.

I realize I'm posting in the Heavy Japanese Truck section but there does not seem to be an area devoted to other cab-over based Expedition Campers. All I seem to find are FUSO and NPR on this site. Is there a reason people are not doing more camper builds on any of the following platforms...
