Basis for my next camper build: 1976 101 Forward Control Radio Body

I have researched and tested a bunch of solutions to this issue. In my current build, I am targeting an off grid completely electric solution that relies on solar and battery storage while sitting and will charge the batteries via a separate alternator while the engine is running. Things to...

Great find, Dennis, well done! Dice is much better than Nutz, so you have a winner. Does the rear window work well? They were notorious for pinching the wiring and shorting out. Dice looks great, though.

As long as you're just looking at it. Actually, as long as you don't hit any rocks, you'll be fine...

Your craftsmanship is first rate, so well done! And thank you for documenting the swap and build. I recently installed an L99/6L80 (2012 Camaro LS and tranny) in my 1988 Land Rover Defender 90. It woke the old wanker up and it is a joy to drive. You will be very happy once it is sorted. Very...

You need to find a deal like this one where you can then sell it at the end of your adventure and recoup your money. Look at it as an investment in your life! http://forum.expeditionportal.com/threads/190976-AWD-Very-Low-Mileage-2013-GMC-Camper-Van-with-Roomy-Pop-Top-Camper-Roof!

Is this your first? The only reason I ask is that my wife is a hardass and insisted that nothing would stop her (she continued going to kick boxing almost until the birth of our first). By number four, she was laid out at six months. I would accommodate her as best you can, but have a plan B you...

Make sure you patch he inside of the tire after sewing! Apparently, tubes don't like abrading against the stitches. I discovered this the hard way.

What a solid, purposely designed build, well done!

I have an original 1948 push broom in my garage that my grandfather used for years to sweep out his garage. The brush head has been replaced four times and the screw in handle twice, but it's an original!

RIP, Pugsly. The open road makes the world seem much smaller and our souls much larger. Have a blast on your next adventure!

This was a great build and you handled the follow on situation really well.

Excellent! Have you considered a van and then outfitting the cargo area? Might be a faster conversion depending on your desired level of comfort.

The only thing that could cause it in the way you described is a loose or broken fuel line. Review the recent service carefully for anything that required removing a fuel line (supply or return). The high pressure fuel lines used in fuel injection can cause spectacular fires when fuel sprays on...

Anyone have an F150 with 35+ tires have issues with their steering rack? I have a 2006, but I’ve heard from several (non-experts) that running large tires and running off-road regularly will wreck the power steering rack in short order. Thoughts?

Me too, but they missed one feature. You can show movies on the side of one of those trailers. Instant movie night!

That must be the one the Martian had. All poo nicely wrapped up in air tight bags. However, he preferred a composter so he cut them all up and mixed them with soil to make compost. Apparently, that's another vote for a composting toilet. I think I'm convinced.

What, not manly???

That is simply ************! I look forward to following your build, seems you are doing it right. Well done!

Cool project! As those axles are made for coil springs, are you converting the chassis to coil (pita) or adapting the axles to leaf springs? Also, as the Santana keeps the leaf springs, does it have the Series III style steering with the steering and relay boxes or does it have the Defender...
