    The Dirt Sherpa Build

    Regardless, you are doing a great job and it's about workmanship, as far as budget goes I am getting a lot for my investment and it has take 4 years of buying, selling, swapping, and hunting down deals!

    The Dirt Sherpa Build

    You can pretty much see my complete build here http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/expedition-vehicles/933305-f-700-4x4-camper.html Make a new roof cap? It's more work but your work is nicer than the factory stuff and sometimes by the time you are done fiddle farting around and it's not making you...

    The Dirt Sherpa Build

    Great work, these things are definitely not as easy as they seem first time around are they! I used the same tape to hold the siding on my F-700 camper, all aluminum framed too, works very well. The only guy that's ever going to notice the 1/4" variance is you, wouldn't it be nice if you could...

    The start of my expedition rv To pull my 30 ft toy hauler

    That's the same reason I built mine, I don't tow quite as heavy but there's always a Jeep, or a half dozen bikes, or a few quads stuffed into our enclosed trailer, the trailer is also a nice feature as it makes a great mud room, clean work space for any repairs, and just nice to keep a lot of...

    towing with a global expedition vehicle

    I gave up some departure angle for a better hitch but I will also be pulling a substantially larger load quite often. The bumper has a 4x4x.250 wall receiver that will go into the brackets on the bottom of the bumper and hinge up when not needed, the receiver isn't built yet, but everything is...

    Our GXV Build

    For us, I'll take the headroom and will just be aware of the height limitations as they present themselves. Pretty much my take on that subject too. Thanks again.

    Our GXV Build

    Have you ran into anything where the height was giving you any trouble? My rig is 11'6" to the top which is why I'm asking, I went through a lot of work to build it as roomy and low as possible, hopefully it's low enough! Thanks, Mark.

    Our GXV Build

    Very nice rig, good chassis choice. Can I ask what the overall height is? Thanks, Mark.

    Ok, so whos beast of an H1 is this?

    Humvees/Hummers start out with a factory GVW of 10 000 lbs and factory option to 13 500 lbs for the full armoured versions. They were built to haul that load every day.

    Ford F700 Build

    Hi Hani, I will be dragging our Jeep behind for a commuter and trail rig, I have a DR650 as well and I love it, but the practicality lies in the Jeep for us.

    What the coldest my Bigfoot camper can really withstand?

    Used ours in -20C, didn't even try to use the water system but that was easy to deal with in other ways. No issues.

    Reality check for diesel-systemed truck camper

    I install Espar heaters in a lot of different equipment. I would recommend an Airtronic D2-D4 unit for heat and use a Hydronic D5 for the engine. By the time you come up with all the plumbing and disconnects combined with all the time and extra failure/leak points with a disconnect-able system...

    Opinions On the 7.4 / 454 Suburbans and engine

    Gave those trucks nothing but severe duty. 454 and 4L80E had no issues whatsoever.
