How tall is your rig from the ground to the highest portion of the camper body? Not including roof vents or A/c units, just curious as mine is almost done and just for comparison. Thanks, Mark.

Had a look at these, build was decent enough for a mass produced unit with a lot of good features. I liked it. http://www.livinlite.com/truck-campers.php

Check mine out, slide is 72"wide, 78" tall and slides out 32" http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=933305

The 6.2 is a great fuel efficient motor. They don't make a great workhorse and that is usually where they get the bad rep from but in a Blazer or Sub, how hard could they really work? We have a 1/2 ton with a 6.2 with 300K on the odometer, had religious oil changes every 5000 and very minor...

As a manufacturer I have some input you might want to consider. 2 years ago we sent our vendors (we buy a lot of steel) a letter stating no chinese materials will be accepted. We employ design technologists, engineers, fabricators, welders, equipment technicians and such. We used CNC tubing...

My idea of full size.

Make sure the air bags are rated for the extended length they will be seeing. They don't stretch very well.

I have owned several truck campers, motorhomes, and hoiliday trailers. The ONLY good one was the Bigfoot (Northern Lite is pretty much the same). Very solid, leak free, good looking camper. If you want to get something that will last a long time and still be worth what you paid for it that's the...

Cool, wonder what the tires howl really sounds like.

Probably a little too much coolant for the water pump to move. We install electric booster pumps when there is over 10' of heater hose, works great.

1997 might be missing some of the upgrades that were implemented at the factory by 1998. Many 97's recieved the updated engine if they failed under warranty. AM General made cooling system changes that eliminated all of the previous issues like excessive cylinder wear and block cracking. The...

I like the girl better!

Thanks! There won't be any sag, it is a little overbuilt there. I have a build thread on 4wdtrips.net, there are a bunch of guys with the big 4x4 Fords over there so it's a nice spot. Updates are far and few between just because we are very busy. Thanks again.

you'd have to use an Airstream to get any quality, ugly, but solid

Mine's bigger And it's real! Not as big or cool as Jay's or with the nostalgic classic flair of Casa Azul, but it's finally happening.

I buy all my bumpers bare. I have Trailready front and rear on my Ram 2500 and after 230 000KM they still look great. Most manufacturers do a commercial blast and are light on the powder coat. The powdercoater we use does a white metal blast which means all the mill slag is removed, then a zinc...

Your 89 should have 30 spline shafts, nice rig, always loved those.

It "might" get you home if it grenades but why risk destroying a good ring and pinion. If it's in good shape and tire size is close to stock and you inspect it regularily it will last. One good stuck and some hard driving will cost a few bucks though.

I worked for GM for many years. Lose the gov lock, it will eventually fail, and probably take a bunch more expensive parts with it especially in the 8.5" 10 bolt. At least that was the case with the hundreds of failures I repaired during my stint with the general.
