    Temporary Diesel Heater Install?

    I've been doing research on the power requirements and I'm not too sure I can run it off the starting battery for long. I might have to go the rainforest route with my Big Buddy heater.

    Temporary Diesel Heater Install?

    OK, I'm not in Timbuktu, but will be not too far from cucamonga. I won't need to fashion anything from cob. The unit is one of those cheap china models that has the tank mounted inside a sheetmetal cover.

    I'm renting a van (Ram Promaster), for a week and want to install a diesel heater without drilling holes. Any ideas???? I need a way to get the exhaust out.

    It's been a while, but I snuck out for a day and shot some Trophy Trucks in Parker. Looks like I'll be at KOH too.

    WTB: Ford ZF-5 Transmission

    Shipping is insane right now. ZF's are plentiful in some places and unobtanium in others. I'll do some digging for you.

    Project "Autonomous" F-350

    Going to use the P30 chassis. Why you may ask? Because I plan on doing things like a front mounted winch, and a rear motorcycle lift which will need sturdy mounts. It also allows strong mounting options for water tanks, and fuel. If you are wondering, the wheelbase on the P30 is 208. The G30 is...

    K5 Camper. My offroad home away from home.

    The perfect package, nice truck. I must have missed it but was the truck already converted to 8 lug when you bought it? What axles are you running? Swapping a full floating 14 bolt in the rear was the best thing I ever did to my 79 K5.

    87 Trooper

    I picked up an 85 not too long ago, so I'm also in the learning phase. I wanted to do a weber carb upgrade, and found a 1.8 liter engine, and 4 speed trans with a weber carb, starter, alt, exhaust header, etc for $150. Cheaper than just the carb I was going to buy. I'm getting the engine sorted...

    1992 Dodge W250 Cummins / VW Vanagon Abomination *MAY CAUSE BLINDNESS*

    The VW tow bar is cheeky, but I get it. ;) I love people who operate outside the box! COE's are super hot right now. Not many build their own.

    What is a Chevy G30 4x4 capable of?

    I have a G30 I am wanting to convert. I even thought of using a dana 50 TTB to keep it low. Mine is a cut-a-way box truck so height is a concern.

    Anyone have experience with Boulder Offroad?

    I would not worry, Dana 60's were used by Chevrolet, Dodge, Chrysler, Jeep, Ford and Land Rover.

    Project "Autonomous" F-350

    The factory brakes are for 2 wheel drive. They mount to the back of the transmission, not the transfer case. They are around 1K used. Too expensive if I have to make many modifications to get it to work.
