    Mexico Truck Camper 10 Year Temporary Import

    Does anyone have any experience on getting a 10 year temporary import permit for Mexico, it clearly states that RVs and campers qualify and trucks with slide in campers are not allowed. What about trucks with a hard mounted camper such Turtle V or flat bed mounted camper. If anyone has any...

    GMT800 Suburban 2500... dissuade me (or not)

    If you are looking for a vehicle with less electronics the 2001 or 2002 model years would be preferred. The earlier years still had some minor issues which the manufacture was working out. And in 2003 they did a complete overhaul on the electronics and control systems throughout the vehicle, the...

    Earthroamer: new tire/wheel/suspension

    You're correct, I remember they mentioned bringing a computer digitizing system to measure cut fenders and model the new fender flares prior to producing the custom made fender flares.

    05 GMC Yukon XL Build

    They are complete headlights, but you would need to get a set of ballasts, I'm not too sure if i have any more left. I have having trouble having the pictures show up, here's a link to some of them...

    05 GMC Yukon XL Build

    If you are looking for some black after markets that actually preform, I have an extra set with xenon projectors in them, instead of the 9005 ones

    New HMMWV spied

    Do you remember where you saw those rims pop up at? It would be nice to have some 8-lug 22.5" wheels without the need for 10 lug adapters, along with beadlocks.

    Thinking about an 01 - 03 Suburban Z71

    It's not a bad choice to choose an suburban for what you are looking to do, as far as differences I personally prefer the older version of the NBS which is pre 03 which has less electronic controls. If you can get look for an 02 which has the latest updates and fixes in the 99-02 generation of...

    Dell Inspiron Mini 9

    I do not know that much about the Dell Mini 9, I have an Asus EEE PC 1000 with 10" screen. Personally I love it for carrying around anywhere to use basic applications without worrying about plugging in for 5-6 hours. It's almost lighter than my laptop power adapter, I have been using it to tune...

    How do you turn off the door chime?

    On your truck the door chime is played through the front door speakers, you can switch out to an after market radio and use a simple harness without door chime and onstar features to eliminate it. Or just leave the window open instead of your door.

    Window Tint or "Blank-out" Panels

    It really depends on what you prefer and can get use to, going with the dark tint is easier to live with since you can still see out when necessary. With blacked out it would be similar to driving that has a camper with solid panels, box truck, or rv. On my tahoe the windows were tinted with...

    16" or 17" 35X12.5 tires and wheels

    285/295-76-16 would be in the 33" range, a 315-75-16 is around 34.6", but i am not sure how readily available they would be in other countries, even here in the US they can be difficult to locate in some areas.

    LED Off-Road light

    I wouldn't worry about their performance, since they are designed to replace HIDs, and many teams racing in baja have switched over from HID to leds, for them to do that and take a rick against failure is pretty slim. If you do get them finding a good way of securing them would be important as...

    Blue sea fuse block, w/ or w/out negative buss?

    You don't really "need" the negative bus strip for automotive applications, they are for marine use as fiberglass boats can not be grounded to the chassis as the hull is not conductive. Personally I get the ones with a negative bus as it is useful place to distribute ignition on power to...

    Truck Camper Construction Costs?

    I'll keep you guys updated when the build starts, it should begin shortly after may or when I get back from China in August. Hopefully the resin will cooperate under these higher temperature conditions over here in vegas. I know a lot of people must be wondering why not just by a off the lot...

    Homemade Kayak mounting ideas

    Personally I would go for the J style holders since they are a lot easier to use with longer boats and you can stack more in the same space, since you only have an 8 footer any mount should do. To fabricate a j style one just get some conduit or square tube and bend a hook at one end, something...

    Truck Camper Construction Costs?

    egn - I agree with you that disastrous results can occur when an vehicle is overloaded beyond it's limits. Had a similar incident occur with a new Kodiak box truck that I drove across the country loaded with all sorts of metal machinery, it drove fine for the first 1/4 of the way then slowly...

    have you guys seen this?

    You are right, vans have a lot more cargo room over an suv, they are about the same width without rear HVAC, but hight makes the difference, on my suburban the rear cargo area is only 32-36" to the headliner, where a van is around 50" Those are pretty interesting, it's really unfortunate that...

    Earthroamer Tires

    It would be nice to hear some input on those who have run the 19.5s, and what the experiences were. Tire sizes seem to be limited to 35" with a few more aggressive treads, but mostly for street use, looking for some 36-40" options.
