    Flat bed camper for sale

    That Camper is a ground breaker, truly a marvel! Best of luck with the sale, I can't wait to see what you get next. BTW, what are you going to do with the Ram that has the pass-through opening?

    Stumptaco's has gone over to the darkside..XJ style.

    It's a little different in Rhineland Pfalz than say the western United States. You can't just find an access road and go off exploring unless you're on foot. Your best bet is to link up with a local club in the KMC area. You can find one by inquiry at an auto repair shop, partshaus...

    EVERY Jeep at The SEMA Show 2015

    The Jeep is certainly many different things to many different people. Great snapshot of the possibilities this platform presents. Very nicely done, thanks.

    I bought the wrong bike

    So true, for me it's a CRF1000L :drool:

    I bought the wrong bike

    Don't sell!!! You can get into a capable, travel worthy dual sport fairly inexpensively. Pick up a used dual sport for your off pavement camping and exploring. Just don't get rid of the CB550, what you have there is a nearly perfect Café project. . If we're honest with ourselves, our ratio...

    Time machine 2003 Rubicon

    This thread lives on, yet we put agavelvr on blast because he ruffled some feathers by his comments about fauxverlanders and fridges. I guess it really is accurate that these threads are windows to acute insecurities

    2005 Silverado 6.0L, heading to Argentina.

    I had a fuel pump go south on my 2000 Silverado at about 180K. I was able to get an AC Delco pump from Amazon for $170 or $180, it even came with the harness upgrade that fixed the intermittent fuel gage I had been living with for about 100,000 miles. I found it easier to lift my bed than drop...

    2009 Honda Fit expotastic build

    Nice little rig, should serve you well. Makes very good economic sense. A lot of us on ExPo tie up lots of our money and time, painstakingly building up rigs that amount to solutions looking for problems. No harm in that, the automotive hobby takes many turns and practicality isn't always one...

    Help me to NOT fail

    Ozark NF is fun. Don't over think it. You won't be needing spares. Overloading and preparing for too many 1%er issues will end up diminishing your experience.

    Anyone able to haul a camping trailer from PA to CA in the next couple of weeks?

    I'm just gonna go out on a limb here and say that I'm sure he probably already considered driving his vehicle to pick it up. :coffeedrink:

    2017 Super Duty

    Whoa, I agree on the grill...thank gawd for the aftermarket. Excited to see how this new SD stacks up. Looks like it could be a winner.

    Gas storage inside vehicle a'la VDEG

    I hate the idea of fuel storage inside the vehicle. I appreciate the low and centered COG but at what ultimate cost? Thankfully, for me, there is zero practical application for carrying an additional eight jerry cans of fuel. That way I'm not posed with the problem of how to rack up 160 litres.

    Offroad trailer #2

    The side doors are handy. Leave the microwave. Cage under the toolbox for reinforcement and to create a location for propane and generator. Swap out the dorm fridge for an RV fridge or even better a danfoss type. Cool find. How does it smell with the carpet in there?

    What do you put in your peli case?

    Got one with all GoPro gear, One for the Canon DSLR and one for the Zoom H5N, cables and lavs. I use two 1550s as panniers on the KLR. I did have all my recovery gear in a 1650 in the back of my XJ but I swear I was exceeding GVW when it was there. I do love Pelican cases but they're sort of...

    2015 Sprinter 4x4 build begins

    Could this be axle wrap, and the overload leaf "clunking" against the main pack? I once had a truck that had that happening when empty, when hauling a load the clunk went away. FWIW, I used a leaf spring clamp on the leading edge of the overload leaf to apply some preload. Not an elegant...

    HiLux gets new diesel

    I was a major diesel fanboy until I sat down and did the math last year when I was in the market for a truck. Diesel just didn't make economic sense for me...and it wasn't even that close. I think OEMs really missed the mark in the '90s by not proliferating small diesels. Under those...
