Ok lets talk fuel - diesel specifically. Last winter, in Montana of all places, I have realized several stations still use #2 even in dead of winter - which is a nono for older trucks especially. Further, many attendants didn't know what fuel they had, or if they had additives. The stickers...

Ok so I have a series of planned events that I previously had a wiring diagram drawn out for but since have realized it was probably overly complicated... The overall plan was for the below items to be functional off a second set of batteries the same as the vehicle batteries ('97 OBS 7.3)...

Ok, so getting closer to pulling the trigger on proceeding with my original, or somewhat original, build idea. Long story short: 97 OBS 7.3 CCLB - desire to add flatbed/boxes and camper of some sort (liking the Scout Kenai so far), capable of full time living, planned to be multipurpose...

Anyone use the gas version of the coolant heaters from wabesto (or others)? Considering putting one in my Jeep. I know many use them for full size in the diesel version, but curious if anyone has experience with the gas versions. Looking for ideas to help heat up the Jeep in the winter cold...

Looking to see if anyone has any suggestions on this engine. It's in a 04 chinook that I am looking at. I'm unfamiliar with this engine - wish it was a diesel instead but that can change later. Any major issues with these??

Aside from locating and rebuilding an old camper - if the right one could be found, does anyone have suggestions for any companies that actually hold true to making custom campers, not at the earth roamer cost? Nothing crazy. Thus far, the only company I have found that is actually willing...

Just saw this. New product? Currently have RSK with rear shackle flip and SD springs on a 4" lift. But certainly not the 8" longer rear springs. ANyone with experiences? Considering this in the future, along with a reduction in height to a 2", and 33's instead of 35's if it makes the ride...

I'm sure theres already been a comparison somewhere, didn't see one so...trying to compare a couple options. Inside toilet options for me are highly desirable due to, well, issues. Especially when it's below 0 outside. These are the only real options I can think of for the back of a truck...

Anyone with experience with these? seem up our alley since theyre the only 2wd e-bike around so far. expensive sure, but seems like just ticket for a lot of reasons. https://ecells.com

'06 TJ Current - 4.5" currie jonny joint, fox 2.0 w/reservoir, 31" shoes I have been considering changing things up. THis suspension has worked very well the last 5 years. But, changes in life event has me considering other routes. I no longer plan or expect to do hard core off road. 33's...

Hey all. So looking into what tire to get before winter hits. I currently have 31x10.5 Cooper Discoverer STT Pro. They are about 4 years old, and must be near their end. Plenty of tread left, but lugs are warping in a weird way. Anywhoo, I wanted to get a different tire anyway considering...

So I'm tiptoeing around the idea of considering to part with my truck. For various reasons. This question can apply to any vehicle or situation however. Ultimately the question is, for a vehicle to have been purchases, modified, maintained, in great condition as we all know costs money...

As the title suggests I'm curious of input on either of these trailers. After looking around a while this seems to be a good option to consider for my particular desires. They all seem to be built about the same. Question is if anyone can provide input on the interior size difference between...

Hey all, Lots of info here :-) So I'm embarking on rewiring and adding some stuff to my standard trailer. I have a 2011'ish Keystone Springdale 179QB. It has been my house for the last 4 years, and likely will be for the next 4 years. My current situation is slightly unknown and variable for...

Lets talk sizes! I soon shall be beginning the design of a more or less custom trailer based on a retail model base (think Alaskan flatbed model but in trailer form). Much I will change or customize or ask the company to do. But it all starts with the base - size. Based on calculations, the...

Anyone either 1) willing to do some cad workup drawings for me to help visualize some ideas I have, or 2) have any recommendations for free and easy cad programs I can possibly try myself if not able to source any assistance? Thanks :-)

Anyone by any chance know the actual specs for a factory 8' bed for an OBS (9th gen, '97) F series? By my measure its about 76", but for some reason that doesn't seem right. Specs for a flatbed are 80". Trying to figure out what width a rear bumper will need to be, and what the hangover...

Has anyone seriously done any conversions of retail models to be more 'overland' capable? Things such as: swapping for diesel heat and water heater removing standard 6v batteries for lithium options swapping LP fridge for 12v marine fridge Curious if it's actually feesable, and if it's worth...

Freedom, on Eagles Wings – 2006 Golden Eagle 4.0L, 6 spd A catalogue of my Jeep build for a life of adventure and exploration, and freedom. I’ve always loved Jeeps. As a kid, I remember riding around in my dad’s old CJ7 – we went everywhere. It was slightly modified, but not much, or anything...

Can't remember if I brought up this discussion or not previously, so starting a new thread. Needing to sort out what to do about a rear bumper. I plan (hopefully soon) to be replacing the stock bed with a flatbed with boxes to allow better storage options, putting a quad in the bed, and having...
