    Another F550 build

    Nice build! Love the utility box with camper. My current build is an ambulance- having the utility boxes everywhere for storage, segregated utility compartemtns, etc is a game changer. Is that a Hobart welder you're using? Which one, and how were your results? Using their spool gun for AL? I'm...

    Raise, increase height of truck topper/cap/canopy - anybody tried?

    Topper/camper are used interchangeably in my lingo. You're right, I also accidentally listed dimensions for 2x6 not 2x10 (it's an even worse idea with 2x10 - the longer the flat on dimensional lumber, the less compressive stability it will have) You asked for advice, I'm sorry that you...

    Raise, increase height of truck topper/cap/canopy - anybody tried?

    How high are you trying to raise the topper? For instance, with your original idea, is the lumber laying flat at 2" raise (1.5 nominal), or at up on it's side 6" raise (5.5"). I don't think lumber would be a good idea in either of these circumstances, but certainly not up on it's side - it...

    Ambulance Conversion - Info Request B4 Purchase

    $500 to $1,000. The seller could be motivated to let go for a good price given the apparent convenience of this sale. Any more than a few thousand, and I don't see any reason to buy just the shell when you can get a complete ambulance for just a few thousand more. There is a lot of value in the...

    1992 Ford F-250 4x4 7.3 IDI with FWC $25k

    Because the OBS Ford trucks are super cool. Would be more justifiable if it was a PSD though. But it's a ruggedly simple rig, pretty capable and will take a beating. And because people are starting to realize how much $$$ sprinter vans cost to keep running :)

    What makes Toyotas so reliable?

    Kaizen and the Lean method are simple and amazingly effective design, workflow, and management philosophies. It seems to have roots in some ancient foundational knowledge about simplicity, efficiency, and natural evolution itself. Really beautiful stuff when executed properly. Unfortunately so...

    2019 Custom RV Conversion, F350, 4x4, 7.3L Diesel

    I think he is asking the OP for interior pics of the truck (this thread is not about your Tacoma...)

    2002 E350 VAN CONVERSION 4x4 Quigley

    I'm not sold on the price or the quality of the interior conversion, but that's a great base, low miles, and hard to find high top!

    C5500 4x4 on Govdeals

    I'm sure that salt took a toll. It's a shame that our governemnt so often trashes vehicles with abandon. If this were maintained it would not be rusted out and broken down at 50k miles.

    2005 Unimog U500 $310k

    At 24,500lbs, would this thing really be useful off road? Maybe on the wide open tundra, but I feel like this rig would be super limiting.

    **SOLD** 2002 Ford F-450 XLT 4x4 w/ 7.3L Power Stroke Turbo Diesel - 19K Miles

    Very nice truck. It's funny though, when an engine can easily get 500k miles, it's logically not worth as much of a premium to get an ultra low mile unit. Still more than enough life left whether it's got 20k or 120k miles. Still, this is a very clean unit with an ultra solid drivetrain. I...

    Offgrid 4x4 Expedition Vehicle F450 Ambulance Conversion - SOLD !

    Second on the height not being a big deal. Of course it's nice to have headroom, but it's real easy to just slouch or tilt your head forward a bit when walking or standing inside. I'm 6'1" and don't mind the 5'10" headroom in my ambulance. My wife is 5'3" and has zero complaints ?
