I've work with alum for years. It's a great material but the skin on a SIP isn't where I'd use it. My guess is it gets too hot for the adhesive.

Comments about cycling from too many BTU/Kw are correct. A heat calc is easy to do. There's lots of heat calcs online https://www.calculator.net/btu-calculator.html Also want to run the system at the lowest possible temp. No need to heat glycol to 180F when 140F is enough. Hotter also means...

I wrapped the front of my truck and wish I'd done the whole thing. Tree scratches haven't gone through the wrap but on the unprotected paint they are so deep they won't buff out.

I've bought / installed seats from both of these companies. http://seatscanada.com/ https://www.grammer.com/en/sales-partner/america/canada.html In addition to air ride there also suspension that use adjustable springs with a gas shocks.

What about parts? Is a portal rebuild done and you leave it alone like changing transmission fluid or does it lean closer to something like servicing the brakes.

I use the "upgraded" Ego charger. It draws 450-500 watts for approx 40min to charge one 5Ah battery. You'll need a min 800w inverter if you use the upgraded charger. When I try the Ego charger on our 600w (also have 3000w) the fans in the charger don't come on.

An air compressor with manual 3 way (dump/fill) solenoid and pressure guage for each corner isn't complex. I wonder if the Liquid Spring has/will have a low tech / manual option? Why have electronic leveling while offroad?

Whey you're 50 miles down a FRS there's one can always get more air but silicone oil will be hard to find anywhere.

Safe bet is starting at 300F and testng the heating soure for accuracy.

Drive the Globe went from a Mog to a cabover. https://www.youtube.com/c/drivetheglobe/featured Thee weeks ago I saw Mog driving over a logging slash like a skidder does. It was amazing to see but it didn't have a 3,000lb box on the back.

Tolerances on alum are all over the place. You can heat 2 places on the same pcs of aluminum to the same temp and the first place will bent and the 2nd won't.

This is best idea as long as it is a soft bend. If it's a sharp bend most likely the aluminum has been taken past the yeild point and will break when bent back. Don't used heat. It removes the temper so it will stay soft like butter.

It doesn't say what filters they tested or how they did the tests. My understanding has been (and could be wrong) silver doesn't improve filtration but it prevents stuff from growing in/thru the filter medium but if there's only a thin layer then it won't last. Berkey filters last for years...

My buddy picked up Giardia (most common water infection with 15,000-20,000 cases/year in USA) 30 years ago and has lived with IBS since. https://bora.uib.no/bora-xmlui/handle/1956/5614 When I read water filter threads I wonder if people know what they are putting their purified Carbon Block...

Carpet reduces noise

When I orderd our F350 I wanted to delete the carpet but the sales guy said keep the carpet otherwise people looking to buy it will think it's a work truck. It's been 5 years and I'd go with carpet again.

The PearlAqua is marketing the Micro is the 1st LED certified to NSF-55, Class B .......certifies ultraviolet water (UV) systems for supplemental bactericidal treatment of disinfected public drinking water......... We I worked on UV systems. We had to take the systems apart to clean/replace the...

Two things are the same no mater what system is used. 1.) How do you know purification is working? 2.) How do you know the system (tank/lines/pump) is safe?

My $.002 is you can get away with trimming the storage box don't have to trim the corner of the accommodation box. Once the storage box is trimmed it looks like breakover will be an issue. Some modeling would tell how deep of a hole you can get in/out of. What about moving the axle back and...
