I've got a wiring issue in this Callen I have, and after doing a bit of investigation, I'm not going to have anyone else do the wiring. Have to do it myself. I mean, two crimp splices in a single wire within three inches? Really? IAC, I need to get the interior paneling off, which means the...

Arg, no way I could get away for that long to do it. My weapon of choice would be the old XR400, and she's already pretty well rigged for this sort of thing. I'd like to see a map of the route though! Feh, now you have me thinking..lessee, got a Spot, got the GPS's, got most of the other...

There's one for sale at a shop here in Escondido, guy wants $200 for it...but I've got too many projects now.

second in line after Murphy, I'm in Vista, just passed by RB an hour or so ago, LOL. PM sent too

I'd get a liftgate, modify it so that it's a storage box too. Lower it to the ground, roll bike in/out, then raise to travel height and lock it in.

Hmm..interesting and different from the mats I just bought at Costco. 77"x36"x3", trifold also. Sounds like the same outside covering, and these come in a carrying bag/case. I'm going to cut 6" off the sides to fit on my beds, and sew up the slack in the covers, maybe leaving a portion as...

I'll second the insulation idea - and while you're at it, do the rest of the truck too. My frame is boxed to a bit behind the front spring rear mount, seems to be working fine. Make sure you tie the boxing into the steering box to reinforce that area, common crack area. At this time my truck...

I'd be interested too. I'll throw my numbers out to you via pm

Fred - how much of a resto do you want? Reason I ask is that the small things like lights, etc - and even to some extent the panels, are basically unobtainium now. I've been unable to find tail light lenses for my callen, for instance, so I'm going with LED's and fabbing some housings. Is it...

Back in the hoary old days, a good friend and I were _that_ close to pulling the trigger on a similiar project, except we were going to use a T815 Tatra 8x8. We were going to do a video series on America, sponsored by Sony. The usual advertising splattered all over it, and then once the truck...

Well, having just found the Callen, it's time to move the DCU on. I'll post pics later on today, but it's an all white DCU, cab height, both sides open, window in passenger side panel, driver side panel solid, rear door is tailgate style liftup. Has rack installed, everything works fine, just...

Scott had a couple of the windlass style ones you put at the CG to lift off the truck, so nothing bolted or hooked on. He quoted $1K for a jack setup, which is more than I wanted to spend. The hundred bucks for a set of used jacks seemed much better to me :) I'll be picking it up later today...

Ok, got the jack issue solved. Scott at Callen had a few used ones I got a good deal on. Now I've got to figure out how to hack a powered slider window into the Callen. Nothing like another project! Thanks for the replies folks!

Yah, not worried about Callen moving it, but as I said, I'm looking for a good set of jacks. I'm aware about reinforcing, and the various systems - I just don't feel like building something myself if I can get it off the shelf. So are any brands better than others? If I have to make it...

Any brands/designs of camper jacks better than others? Anyone have a model you'd buy again? I just found a Callen on CL, it's actually going over to Callen Campers tomorrow to get a slider window put in - but I'm going to need some way to get the thing on and off the truck by myself, and not...

And soooooo.....the front stinger is for when you're tackling the hammers? Hmm. I think I'm missing something. Oh yah, I want the trailer, sure. (yep, secret squirrel message...)

You don't have a brother named Mog, do you? :D

Dang, much better than the 24v I have. I weigh more (how'd you get that weight so low?), have bigger tires and more lift though. All of which kill mileage. What really kills mileage is some turd stole the alternator, not going anywhere until that gets replaced or upgraded.

They'll seal adequately. Most places use a hole saw to port clamp holes in the liner. Probably the fastest way.
