I went to overland expo east the year before last for the day; wish I had camped out. I've never been to the rooftop tent gathering, as the tents don't really appeal to me. Would be cool to hang out with like-minded folks though. As far as the truck, I think I'll end up with an f350, although...

Hey neighbor, I just stumbled on your thread. I live right down the road in New Kent county. You made a really logical and well thought out argument for both the tradesman package, and a regular cab truck. I have a regular cab short bed truck that I use for dump runs and camping trips right...

I've had good luck with the centramatic wheel balancers in the past.

Oooohhhh glooooves..... that's the trick. I always somehow end up caulking gloveless, and it ends up everywhere!

Been following along on this build on the earlycj5 forum, just wanted to say great job on the build. I've always wanted an Alaskan. Loving your idea to throw it on a service body. I bet you guys will get a ton of use out of it!

Does the Norweld tray come with sideboards, like the Ute tray? I feel like it's missing something as it sits, but it's going to look so cool with the camper on the back :)

Maybe a chimney cap or barometric damper would help with your problem?

Hey jscherb, these are really cool. I'm curious, is there a reason we never see these imported as antiques into the US like we do old land rovers? Is it the stigma of lower quality (ha, lower than a land rover??) Lack of awareness? Or is it that older models are so used up that they aren't worth...

That is a SHARP looking truck!

When you say 7.3, do you mean 7.3l diesel? That makes sense to me, as the 20 years of innovation between the two diesel engines is considerable. Now if you mean 7.3l gasoline engine, I really would love to hear about it too.

I cringe when I hear those numbers, but I averaged 14 mpg's in my 2005 f250 with a diesel, and diesel was a buck a gallon more expensive at the time. So, 12 to 14 doesn't sound so bad at all.

I'm super excited for you, and also quite a bit jealous. The tremor in the cjc video is the exact truck I want, except in king ranch trim. It'll probably be 2-3 years before it dips into my price range. I'm really looking forward to seeing how your truck looks with the norweld tray. I have a...

That smart cap looks incredible on your truck!

Thanks for posting the pictures of the thar windshield! It looks really similar in size to that of an intermediate cj5. The challenge that us early CJ guys are having is that the H channel for the original ventilating windshield is unavailable and impossible to replicate (mostly on the bends)...

love that opening windshield.... I wonder what the dimensions of it are. It may be able to be adapted to an early cj windshield, if it's even able to be imported to the US.

Woohoo!

It's possible they were a bad batch, but I've never had a set of tires wear so poorly, and like the op, I could never get them balanced.

Bfg ko2's (the ones everyone looooves) were waaaay out of round the last time I had a set on my old FJ cruiser. I think their quality has gone way down. Toyos and coopers have been the best tires that I've experienced. My last set of toyo's almost needed zero weight to be balanced. Go for it!

subscribed, this is weird and cool :)

If you can't get centramatics on your f150, maybe try dynabeads? They're cheap and easy to try, and you don't have to remount the tire (the beads go through the valve stem).
