$2.50!!!!!! Now to be serious. I would suggest that you provide a price and give consideration to posting this in the for sale section before the mods jump on it. I do know a few people actively chasing something like this and will pass it along when there is sufficient details.

Wahoo the other set of rims/tires just arrived. Now comes the hernia trying to fit them in. Looks like some sawzall engineering will be required.

Mine has clear ones and they come on with the interior light and shine on the running boards.

Actually they are MXT rims and the whole kit may be for sale soon. I have some beadlock military wheels coming. 20x14.5.

Instead of the scan gauge grab an Autoenginuity kit with the enhanced ford package. That way you can run the injector buzz test etc. Also I'm sorry I just scanned this thread but I will throw another thing for you to look at. Does your year have the impact switch (under the floor below the...

Even more evidence it is not a money pit. As it is registered/titled as a motor home I just did the registration for the year. A grand total of $24.92. It costs more for the emissions test that the registration.

New front springs. And the aluminum used in the blocks is not your grandma's saucepan. There should be no issues but I do have a spare set of blocks I can get machined if needed. Freightliner actually use aluminum taper blocks for the diff alignment. And these were heavy enough to get in. A...

Yeah I am a tight ********. But one of the reason I went with ambo's in the first place is that I am not willing to take anything into another country I am not prepared to leave behind. While I love the big unimog rigs and even some of the Sportsmobiles they cost enough that the value of the vehicle...

It is not a generator of the same type as you are talking about (which is actually an alternator as it produced AC). It is a 12v DC motor driving an 120v AC generator on the same shaft. It takes the place of an inverter to convert 12 volt DC into usable AC power. But it is fairly heavy and the...

Finally a vehicle with a short build list. Put on winch bumper and winch (removed from gold ambo) Put on alloy wheels (removed from gold ambo) Check all running gear especially brakes (I think the Freightliner has spoiled me) Replace the motor-generator that supplies 110v with an inverter...

This one is going to be our North American rig. The big yellow one will eventually be going through central and south America but on a long term basis. We will store it in other countries between visits so we are looking at it being unusable for 10 months a year. So enter an opportunity to...

One lap around the block. Well ok it was a big block and I picked up a nail already. Bugger.

Also consider the BMW XChallenge if you can find one. Capable offroad and can run the pavement easily. Fuel injected and gets exceptional mileage. But probably the biggest benefit for you would be the ability of the fuel injection to handle the elevation changes. I ran a carbureted Ducati and...

It really comes down to what you are gaining with the 200 - 300 dollar plus time investment. Personally I would leave it gasoline only buy a couple of fuel jugs for extended use. Then use the time and money on other toys for the rig. If it aint broke don't fix it.

Stewart and Stevenson 1997 M-1078. 4x4 diesel Clear AZ title. Phoenix Last day exclusively on Expo. Tomorrow it goes on crazies list.

A few little updates since it is starting to get cool. Bit of a wordy post but you guys have plenty of spare time. :D I have tried any number of seat combinations over the last few builds. Finally (famous last words) settled on using the Sienna relining buckets with the theory that I could...

Good call. Swapped that relay out with one that wasn't being used and now we have a very excited alternator :luxhello: :luxhello: I had a bit more of a look at the hydraulic oil leak from the control panel. It is not the buttons I believed and have indicated on the prior post. It is coming...
