I run about with mine on a Kendon dual folding trailer with the torsion bar axle flipped. Plenty of clearance and very light but rides extremely well. Not much room for extras though. My other trailer is a military one with independent suspension and a 40 gallon diesel tank underneath. The...

Do you want to come by and measure up my hoist to make one up. No rocket science involved.

Thanks for the input rlrenz. I think it is fair pricing and I will not be getting back what we have into it (nor could I build it again for that price). But we have had some great times in it. But I do have this grave concern that when I die my wife will sell my toys off for what I told her I...

Another "nail" for the conspiracy theory coffin!! So I am still fault finding where all the horses escaped to (about 1/2 of them I think). Digging around I discovered an exhaust brake, more digging and I discovered that the wiring harness is in place behind the dash panel and the socket has been...

OK it is officially for sale. Click Here

Sold sold sold sold 1999 Freightliner FL60 Camper/Expedition/Overland vehicle. ready to travel (i.e. bedding, cooking gear etc) Built for extended travel across all types of roads on all continents. From the beaches of Baja to the wonders of the USA we have enjoyed this camper and it has...

I think I noticed on the video that it had 100-240 as the AC input. Even though the demo dude did say it was 240 he was preaching to an Australian choir. Having 100-240 would interest me for traveling outside the USA or North America.

As much as I would like to have a collection Old Yella will be going to a new home. That was the driver for getting it polished. First time it has been washed since I bought it. Getting the left over bits where the gorillas removed the decals took a few hours (and a little swearing)

For those that were asking how to get the tire up on the rack. Here is the Keystone Cops version. There is a winch I put on the rack that you cannot see. https://vimeo.com/196206527

After all these years of calling it "Old Yella" I had some guys swing by and polish the rig the other day. Turns out it is more green than yellow.

Ouch that was Snowverland Expo West. Cold, wet, windy, snow and sleet and that was only during the class I was running. Great times but I was sure glad I wasn't on a bike or in a roof top tent (better than a tent I suppose). We stayed warm and dry inside but getting around was a whole lot of fun.

Hi Yann I sent you a PM with an option.

Just rub some soap on it. Cheaper the better. Or swap to the gates green belts (as used on most ambulances and police vehicles)

Having seen this rig go from concept to completion and crawled all over, around, under and inside it I can say it is one of the best constructed rigs out there. This rig was built with real overlanding in mind. For example it would of been a lot easier to go with normal RV tanks for the propane...

Shuttle bus based on an F series ford (easily converted to 4WD) https://phoenix.craigslist.org/cph/cto/5888205831.html

I usually don't reply as it clutters up your thread. But I am sure there are plenty of lurkers reading through. Good to see the rig being put to great use. Also I just checked and your thread has had over 167,000 views so I would say I am not the only "lurker" :Wow1::drool:

Given that I usually believe all people do the right thing (until proven otherwise) I am going to give them the benefit of doubt at the moment. 2 + 2 may equal 5 with the circumstances in this case. After posting last night I went through the diagnostics for the engine. 2 cylinders are not...

Oh and my 0-50 time. 42 seconds. Compared to 23 seconds for the Cummins rig. ******.

Well I hate to admit it after all the "cruise control" envy I have had. But I can now relate to how you were feeling. When I picked up the truck in Florida the first place we went was to Freightliner and I bought the most expensive set of cruise control switches around. 2 switches were about $80...

Ok I think these guys are trying to turn me into a conspiracy theorist. I went to change out the AMU today and found there was one airline from the AMU going nowhere. It looked like it went straight to the 2nd air tank which had a shiny new brass plug screwed into it. So I went to NAPA and...
