As long as you get to it while it is still twitching it's fine. [emoji1]

We having a saying around our house "never use the F work with trucks", finished is the F word we reference. I class it as an evolutionary process rather than a defined project. Good to see it out being used.

kLRs would be OK but can be a bit of a handful in the dirt. DR650s tend to be better for the dirt but not as good on the road. BMW 650s are available at reasonable prices these days. But depending on what sort of travel you are thinking of doing you could go with smaller and lighter bikes. I...

Hmmm bit of a tight fit. Especially doing it by myself. But it sort of fits.

Nearly right Rlrenz. But it's 1500# battery operated and cost me all of $150. Worth its weight in beer[emoji481]

Small game as in roadkill???? Is that truck fast enough to get any. [emoji1]

But I could be trying to fit 10# of crap in a 5# bag.

Oh and here is the hours on the generator.

Now the other part of the equation I picked up. A diesel Hydro-Hot (Aqua-Hot) system. On demand hot water, hydronic heating as well as engine preheat and 110v element for the rare occasions that we are in a camp ground. Now to find somewhere to fit this monster in.

Like a kid with no front teeth. Maybe this will fill the gap.

Checkout this video. Interesting concept. We currently use the sleeper sofas from discountvanandtruck but are considering making something that is a little lower. https://youtu.be/UseNkYZ5Yds

Did you find any real specifications anywhere. I would like to see the dimensions especially for the outside unit.

Cleared up a bit of real estate today in prep for fitting some other goodies. Removed the condenser for the front AC units and will replace it with the unit from the back mounted under to cab (with one in front of the radiator as well if required). But look at how much space I have spare now...

Side car does not have a driven wheel (BMW not Ural). The rack comes off the chassis so triangulating to the box would increase the stress on the mounting. I have considered running a strut up from the frame to do as you suggested but in the end I will double up on the bars coming out to the...

Just in case anyone is contemplating carrying a sidecar behind their expo truck! Here are a couple of photos of my rig on a rack behind my (just sold) truck. If anyone wants more details just send me a PM. I have only done one trip with this combination which was 99% paved roads but it handled...

Any price is painful when you include the time and effort needed to swap it in [emoji22]. But I think I can get an old school bus or something like that with a Freightliner chassis for a reasonable price. Biggest thing is the rebuild price on a Cat is much less than a Mercedes.

1st order of business is finding out how many of the 280hp it is producing now. The engine can be flashed up to 330hp by a calibration change only. Now I have one less vehicle to work on I can hopefully focus more effort in finding the lost ponies and then working out how many more I will need...

Just delivered the truck to the new owner. Great guy/family. I will let them introduce themselves.

Yeah maybe I can buy some more ponies to put under the hood [emoji237][emoji237][emoji237]

Looks like it is sold. Deposit received and we are on our way to deliver it. Delivering to Portland via the eclipse and a little look around. We are now in Tonopah NV and having done this route a month ago using the little wheels I can do a pretty good comparison. Short answer is this truck is...
