Hey SouthernJK - I might be interested. I've had my eye on the 16.5ti for awhile. I'll be in North Carolina soon and could easily swing by northern GA on my way to or from. Looks like your synthetic line is the MasterPull Superline, not Superline XD or Classic...

Ahh, all very interesting, Mike, thanks for the add'l info.

stick2 - I'm very interested. Though headed to El Paso TX from the coast of Maine this week, I'd be happy to send a 50% deposit if you'll hold it for me 'til I'm on my way back. I'm going to pick up an XV-2 trailer that this would fit perfectly. I'd be able to pick it up in person within 2-3 wks...

Yeah, cool, great to see another 6.6 Duramax owner with similar results. Same experience with my previous van, too, which was a '98 6.5 Duramax. As for getting off the pavement, I've had both my Duramax's off-road, though never on highly technical trails or rock-crawling. Plenty of "4wd or...

@ClearwaterScott - looks like I could swing through Missouri after I go to CCV in Colorado, but before I go to Schutt in WI. That way, if you're thinking of getting the hard-folding cover, you'll be able to see it on my trailer before I go up to Schutt. This would likely be mid-late next week...

Everyone that's paid has gotten their cases delivered already, and only two are being delivered in person. The bulk of the cases were sold to guys via Overland Bound. I gave one of my own 1510 cases away, including shipping, to a great guy on OB who started a Pay It Forward thread. He's given...

Ha, oh my, reviving an old thread, but that's a hoot alright. I'm not much of a fan of radical rock-crawling or severely technical trails done just for the hell of it, but I'd take my van and trailer on that trail anytime and would love it. Would love, too, to see the images now gone from the...

Interesting, and I wonder if the DICs for GM and Dodge base calcs on different criteria. I know mine (GM) acts quite logically, varying in projected mpg and miles remaining depending on how hard the engine is working, I assume. Semi-coasting downhill or decent tailwind or drafting a ways behind...

I have an '08 6.6 Duramax turbo-diesel, automatic, in an extended body Savana 2500 (with some 3500 parts added by Penske before my purchase) with 3.73, that I've driven for years and consistently get over 20mpg on the interstate, empty or mildly loaded. Around town for longer periods with lots...

Heading out soon for the next big trip and realize I've never used the Pelican 1620 Case I got earlier this year. So, the 1620 is up for sale. $190 + shipping, US only. Free delivery possible IF you are close to my travel plans. Heading out from the coast of Maine this weekend to Buffalo area...

Ohh awesome Rayra, yeah, I like the boxes. Multi-purpose indeed. Easy functional design, the way things ought to be. Sucks that photobucket disallowed remote posting. It's affected a lot of places like this in a big way, and can't be anything but negative for photobucket. Thanks for re-adding...

Would love to see these images restored. . . sounds like a good solution and I love that the box fit two upright or three on their backs. Sounds like the boxes would make for great multi-purpose storage, too, for off-road rigs.

I'd love to hear from more people with personal experience using paint meant more for farm and road equipment. Went poking around and found some great links on tractor and fleet maintenance paints: - DIY piece on using tractor paint to do a Jeep...

Agreed. A lot will depend on whether it's 4x4 or not, and if lifted, and what size tires that may lift it further, even by half inch. I've had my RWD long-wheelbase all over the place back-country without any problems, though intentionally stay off technical trails and rock-climbing situations...

Yeah I agree, carbon60, so am giving this thread a bump. Hoping to hear more from others about their best experiences with vehicle paint. I like the idea of implement paint being durable and hiding minor scratches more and had never really thought about using it before spot mentioned it above...

As much as I like MB diesels, the Sprinters have been fraught with problems and have become famous for expensive, and frequent, repairs at often obstinate dealerships. When you can find one or get in their schedule. Check out forums for expediters, other Sprinter users, and whatever you can find...

Mine came fast, and they look great. I got them for my BaoFeng BF-F8HP (UV-5R 3rd Gen) 8-Watt Dual Band radio. I'll be using one in my van and the other near the tailgate/work area on my XV-2 trailer, or put in my kid's vehicle for joint trips if I get her one. Now to paint and install. Thanks...

@ClearwaterScott - Cool, thanks for checking. I think there have been so many slight changes as the XV-2 evolved that someday, someone, that knows how collectible these trailers are going to be is going to start cataloguing serial numbers and changes and dates. There's a whole database of...

XVenture XV-2 Photos Here are some images of the trailer I'm picking up in a couple weeks, provided by the seller (with rear-most and forward-most hard folding cover panels and storage box cover up in some images): Driver's side: Front right 1/4: Passenger side and tailgate: Front...

@ClearwaterScott - I'll most likely get the new powered lift assist at some point, as I'm not getting a RTT right away and won't have quite as much load up on the rack for awhile. I have the van to sleep in. I'm trying to get into Colorado Campervan's schedule to get a powered lift top on it, so...
