Does the AWD Transit have a lockable center diff? Isn’t that a prerequisite for a locker? This convo has strayed towards full sizes and vans, so this may not be relevant, but the OP originally saddled mid-sized trucks with ~2200lb payload. I think, for the US at least, that number’s closer to...

I have one very similar to this that I do not use (not because it’s bad, it just doesn’t fit for us). Free to a good home in the Salt Lake City area. The box has been expertly duct taped for travel use ;).

Were those wires led through the existing drain hole in the bed? Fan looks good. I’m a big fan of adhesives only, if you can get away with it in a given application.

I’ve been exploring the prospect of having a local fabricator cut PVC sheet into a baseplate similar to Goose Gear. Cost will be 1/3, no wood, and a couple pounds lighter. I haven’t fully worked out the drawers/furniture, but it will likely be precut 8020 and more PVC sheet. I’m not sure how the...

This one? Good recommendation above too.

If I need SAR more than twice in my life, I’m going to find a new hobby! :p I do appreciate having a Spot with me when traveling, especially with the family along and when there are no other vehicles.

$50 for a Gen 1 doesn’t sound like that great of a deal when a Gen 4 is $100 (at least it is on Spot’s website right now). Free sounds like a better deal... @OllieChristopher, for Spots, isn’t the user still on the hook for SAR costs?

Do you have a build thread?

Most of the offerings here have their own switch/dimmer. No affiliation.

Have you checked out the offerings from Hard Korr?

I also added the same between my ARB twin and Flexzilla hose. Given the trouble, I’d say that ARB hose looks pretty good.

Mind the heat if you’re pulling directly off of the compressor. The ARB hose is expensive because it can take it. Most regular air hoses are meant to take air from a tank and are not heat rated. Ask me how I know... ;)

Yes! So awesome!

I thought I picked up TotalBoat a while back as it was the budget option, but I went back and checked and it was $125! I don’t know what I was thinking... carry on.

That sounds like every Flippac support rod arrangement that I’ve ever seen (mostly in pictures), so I would say you’re being overly cautious... but, that geometry is what I have not seen before. Your idea of a roof cross bar may fix that issue though - you might be onto something there...

You may save a few bucks with TotalBoat epoxy, if it’s slow enough for you. I know Raka is used when it’s hot or when you need a super slow cure time though...

I just did this as well, so I’m no expert. I set the lid so it was a straight line with the rear/bottom half of the shell. I’m pretty sure you need the support rods to hold the lid both down and up. Do you have the support rods and hardware? If not, they are reproducible, but the hood...

Much appreciated. Thanks to you both!

I had a very similar thing happen to me on a dirt road in Baja. Saved by a fellow traveler that had way more hub/bearing experience (and advice) than me. I generally stop for anyone in the wilderness on the side of the road just to make sure they’re okay. I’ve only been able to provide tire...
