Scuba 1st stage regulators usually output around 150psi. IIRC, the racers use well over 100psi without any issues. ARB recommends 150psi now. 90 psi was an old spec. If I'm using just a tank, I want 3000psi of air at least, or go Co2 instead. Such a tank would be no larger than a 2...

Yep. I've seen racers use Detroit front, Arb rear, with the Arb connected to an air tank. Unsure if it was Co2 or not. But it looked like a Co2 tank. Small aluminum Scuba tanks look similar. Arb's don't use much air.

Hate to break it to ya, but we don't have any trucks that old. And we've had both failures. In the case of the exploded xfer case truck, it had both issues at the same time. Front drive has to spin. The disco thing only opens one sides axle. If the drive shaft never catches up and spins...

Joints or xfer case?

Pepsi can stove never fails. Kerosene always starts a camp fire. Wet wood, humidity, snow, it doesn't matter. Nothing to fail on a cast iron pizza pie maker...

Bummer. I'm limiting my time this winter with my hubs locked. Used to lock them all winter, but the Ford case might be similar to Dodges. Not rumors. We still have front end problems with Dodges. They eat ball joints. It's not the end of the world though.

That's a lot of issues, even for a dodge. I wonder if the lack of lube on that front driveshaft is what is grenading our transfer cases?

Outlaw Black. Goes good with flat black vinyl wraps. Add some sort of design to the wrap on the flat sides and doors.

Depends on where you're going. Lockers front and rear are 100% needed for anywhere I camp off road. I'm suffering with just 1 locker in my new truck. The earth is just too soft around here for half of the year. We're always getting sunk in a harmless grass field, pipeline access road...

Don't let the hundreds of death wobbles stories scare you. It always a very simple fix, and components that need replaced regularly anyways. Might want a Yukon free spin kit. They aren't too expensive. Ball joints. I should have a vid stored on my phone still of nearly 1/4" of knuckle...

About how much is a box kit that size? Without the nose.

You can source the AC, stove, furnace, etc. etc. etc. from any old moldy ruined junkyard motorhomes. Many people wreck RV's in just a few years, equipment may still be fairly new. There's vendors supporting this forum that can provide nice windows and such. I'd insulate and wall in the box...

The better built trailers aren't so bad, they get bounced around pretty bad as trailers. You need to stay on top of maintenance and plumbing. Anyone expecting a hardcore expo rig to be maintenance free is in for a wild ride. I'd consider mounting one on spring isolators for a small...

That's why I mentioned the Acela cab over as well.

I'm going with ridiculously over priced. F550, 4wd, CC, chassis cab = $55-65,000. Acela Military truck, rebuilt as new = $100,000 There's no reason you can't build a nice box on the back of those for only $45-55,000. Now that being said. Earthroamers and such have tons of frivolous...

But at least you don't get stuck with a Honda Crv kinda thing. Hopefully, at the last minute they name it something other than ''Defender''. ''Allis'' or ''Burt'', maybe.

Now Volkswagen is trying to partner with Ford to produce VW Rangers. For you west coast guys that like flower pot holders on the dash, and eyelash headlight covers.

Fords used those big yellow bumps for a decade at least. If that's what you saw. They're just squishy bumps, the first inch or so is hardly noticeable, you'll be dragging tail bad before they kick in on a Super Duty. I haven't decided if King bumps would help big hits better. Our GM fleet...

Nope. It was slang for as long as I've been alive. 3/4 is 3100#, 1 ton is 4500# cargo capacity. Subtract 1000#, or more, for diesels.

Why even bother with a filler at all? Add a clunk to each tank, with a pump in the middle. Flip a switch to pump into the aux tank, from the main. Stop at gas station to fill up normally. Reverse the pump later in the day to top off the main tank. Airplanes do such, in flight, all of...
