This is pretty similar to what Edison motors is doing. Theirs is still new but seems extremely promising both in the semi truck variant and pickup truck kits they’re working on with the Deboss garage YouTube channel. They’re using fairly small diesels as the generator.

I regularly watch the YouTube channel with the Unimog so I’ll chime in to explain a bit. Their habitat subframe is spring mounted I believe. It’s not a 3 or 4 point. I would guess at least some of the movement was coming from the spring mounting as I’m not sure if they have any fixed mounts at...

Very nice looking truck and good job getting it before the tariffs!

That’s why I asked whether he was using the E2 or EGo. I have the E2 in my house and there’s nothing stopping you rotating them however you want. It looks like that’s the EGo though which has two sides and I could see it being more important which way it’s oriented. Still not sure it would...

Is that the Lunos E2 or EGo?

That’s pretty interesting. Looks basically the same as the Lunos for about the same price by the time you buy a pair. It does appear to have some nice options like WiFi the Lunos doesn’t have.

Seriously cool and right in my neck of the woods! Too bad I already have a truck and camper. My camper is actually a coachman just a few years newer.

That’s great to hear! What trim and packages does yours have? I’ve been eying the XL Off-Road package, but it looks like yours is a higher trim level. Unfortunately it doesn’t look like the XL Off-Road comes with the 7.3, just the 6.8.

That is a dang nice looking truck! I’ve often considered upgrading my 7.3 to a newer Superduty. The current generation really looks awesome and ticks a lot of boxes. Maybe someday!

I have a fairly similar truck to yours. Mine is a 1999 F-350 regular cab long bed with the 7.3 diesel. GVWR is also 9,900 lbs. However, I’m curious about your vehicle weight. The last time mine was weighed was a few years ago and I still had the stock bed, but it weighed about 6,700 pounds with...

I have a hard side not a pop up but I also use a wooden a frame type thing on top of it with a simple tarp. It lets it breath under the tarp and also helps most of the snow slide off. It’s my first winter with it but it seems to be working well so far. Eventually once the old camper has had...

It would be smart for us all to remember that we’ve been down this road before with Trump. During his last presidency I was an engineer at a small manufacturing company in Maine. We made high end mechanical shaft seals. Fully designed and manufactured in the US. However we still needed raw...

Whoops I clearly should have looked closer at your photo!

Since the OP has a Tacoma, I just want to chime in and mention that Toyota recommended rear jack point is in fact the axle tube just inside of the U-bolt plate. I think it would be very difficult to jack up the truck off the frame in the rear with the stock jack due to how much higher the frame...

Well it seems like I finally figured out this issue. I feel a bit dumb, but I relearned a lesson I should have already known. Always check the simple stuff first! I thought this was fuel related because right before the truck would finally start, the tone of the fuel pump would change. I...

Awesome! I’ll look forward to seeing it!

They are a bit ugly at first but they’re super cool! They also sail better than their looks would indicate. If you do end up building one, definitely put up a thread about it! I’d love to watch a build of one.

I have a little bit of sailing experience but not a lot, so I want to chime in from a place not a lot farther along than yours. I originally started doing some sailing on sunfish in Boy Scouts. They’re a ton of fun, but definitely a “bathing suit” boat. I then actually worked for a gentleman in...

I’m pretty sure it’s aluminum but not positive. I’ll take another look tonight. What I can say is that it’s definitely not the laminated design you describe. I know the previous (and original) owners and they have had the exterior sides off of at least one side to fix the framing. I’m...

The truck has officially passed its Maine inspection and is in full use. I just took it on a trip to western mass to move my grandmother back to Maine. It did awesome and towed my families 22’ enclosed trailer without issue. I am however still battling a minor issue I had before the frame swap...
