Don't count on supply chain woes going away anytime soon. We kind of dug ourselves into this hole since motor vehicles have become ENORMOUSLY more complex since I was a kid. Try buying a full size 4x4 with a six cylinder, straight axles, HD components such as suspension, axles, manual trans...

Any updates on the potential capture and hopefully torture of the truck theiving, dripping syphilitic cretins?

Nice old truck, my only real concern would be computerized but not OBD2. Requires more to get codes out of the thing... Wish I knew more about those early computer trucks. I know those pushrod V8s were a LOT more reliable than these variable cam timing Tritons in my truck...

Project what trap?

I haven't paid much attention to Chrysler / Ram etc... since the whole Daimler debacle anyway so yeah, lack of knowledge on their modern stuff... FWIW, even though I despise the 5.4 3v tritons, I am a Ford guy, mostly because Grandpa worked in their performance area before it became SVO... I...

I am having to deal with the limitations of payload on a half ton truck. Something to keep in mind when chosing. Payload may or MAY NOT include weights for driver and passengers. It is rare, but some vehicles are rated for a given payload + a certain allowance for passengers fuel or not. I'm not...

I am woking on building a custom wide width topper / camper shell camper. The general concept is a camper shell built to extend to 76" wide internally, So 77.5" outer to outer considering 3/4" walls, or 79" outer to outer considering 1.5" walls. It will extend over and include the folded down...

May the theives urinations burn with the heat of a thousand suns.

May the fleas of a thousand camels infest the theifs crotch, and may their arms be too short to scratch.

For thsoe using a Portable Buddy heater, and wanting to attach a fan, you don't have to hack into the base of the fan to make it hang on the grate. I rigged a hanger for mine as I was concerned slotting the base would reduce heat transfer and basically ruin the fan. Take a peek and let me know...

So far I have the following, which might seem ancillary but actoually foundational for my build done... #1. Fresh water multi tank pickup system. Basically a quick connect and lid adapter and pickup tube that moves between 4 Reliance AquaTainers for a total capacity of 28 gallons fresh drinking...

I'm thinking something like this... https://www.harborfreight.com/multi-use-transfer-pump-63144.html I am just not sure if it is reliable under exposure to gasoline. I have one I used for an oil / coolant spill that happened on my property from a friends engine that grenaded itself in my...

You missed the point. As soon as I know I am close, I am overflowing. That's the problem. The filter screen is kind of short, and keeps me from seeing the level...

So I have a VERY dumb problem. The #$%^ EPA messed up gas gans tend to either not be able to get fuel where fuel needs to go, or they cause a massive spill because they won't stop flow because I have to manually hold the trigger open to get gas to go into things like generators, or fill the...

Progress being made. I have fabbed up the 110V input and distribution system. Very simple marinco input, section of old outdoor extension cord, weatherproof outdoor single gang box, GFCI outlet, and standard decora wall plate. This will not be exposed to direct weather as it will be inside the...

LOL, my late ex mother in law insisted on a Toyota Celica as her family car... Her thought process? No back doors the kids could open...

Yeah, I am thinking there are probably 3 over all the years I wish I hadn't sold. The 78 Scout 2. 76 Toyota Celica GT Liftback 65 VW Westfalia pop top camper with 71 1600 dual port, converted to 12v.

So in my 20s, which was a LONG time ago now, I owned a lifted International Harvester Scout 2, 345 4bbl automatic. It has PS, PB, AC, and cruise. It was fitted with limited slips on both ends, I do not remember if the original owner had them done, or if it was factory. It was lifted on...

Just my $.02 worth, and you will likely get the value you paid for it... I am a bit younger than you, but have some injury caused issues, When I was a young guy, I could easily sleep in a tiny little A tent and get changed from bed to day no problem. Or do the same in a VW bug... Times have...

Well, decision made. The TRC-465 with PowerMic was taken to the radio tech for a good look over. 100% ready to go. Little Wil antenna on instead of the 102 whip. Done with that part. Looking for a solution to mount this thing up. I'd rather not punch holes in the dash... Not super fancy, but I...
