I have used K&N filters many times in the past. For a street driven vehicle ONLY, they work fine. If you use the rig in the dirt AT ALL, stay as far away as you can. I can attest to the fact that it allows a fine level of dust into the intake track, based on the dust film after the air...

Aluminess lists a front bumper and rear for your truck in their price list. They make a great product (used on Sportsmobiles for years) and being out of aluminum, they are much lighter but just as strong as a steel version. Downside is price. Actually I have found that to be a downside for...

I would typcially agree BUT this is a Cummins powered Dodge = more $$$, plus a service body = $$$, plus a custom fit camper = $$$. Heck I just bought a '97 Cummins powered Dodge and a FWC and spent $14K between them and that's with no extras. Price is not out of line for what you are getting...

It's funny, I am directly opposite than others. The two Toyotas I had in my life ('90 truck and '91 Tercel) I had nothing but problems with. I have done a ton of mods on my '00 Cherokee and it's been very reliable. It does have a few quirks that most Cherokees do but knock on wood, nothing...

It's hard to tell are those eye bolts hooked to the camper jack brackets? I see your sig shows a Keystone Hardtop so I don't know if FWC changed their mounts for a Hardtop camper but on my Grandby, the eye bolts are on the first "step" and are accessed through access ports inside the camper...

I have to agree. Having just bought a '97 Ram with the Cummins, I don't think I would want to try to swap that into another vehicle without having the donor vehicle next to it. There are a lot of little things that can add up to a lot of time and money, if you have to source the items. There...

I took both of Martyn's classes at Overland Expo 2010 and they were great. Really useful and watching him sew up the sidewill of a tire was almost a work of art. That said, unless there was zero other options, I would really not want to do this. It is a lot of work!

So I got to check this system out at the Mountain Rendezvous this weekend. What surprised me is that Linda said, "lift the corner of the mattress and grab a corner and start pulling". Little did I know at that moment we were pulling the system out of her rig and taking it over to our FWC...

Linda, looking forward to checking this out this weekend. I had seen them before but its one of those, definitely like to try before buy type items. :D

I think that will be a wise move. 1/2 ton trucks just typically don't do well with TC, espeically ones large enough for a larger family. Good luck on you search.

Glad you got it fixed. This is a problem on a number of vehicles. Miata's can have this issue. Everything seems tight but the camber bolts won't hold the alignment. What happens is after a number of years of being adjusted, the threads start to stretch. Once that starts, you will never get...

I don't have them on a JK but I do on my XJ. They were great after I added my ARB bumper and winch. I was able to level out the front. If you're basically happy with the ride on the JK, then ACOS is an easy way to have an adjustable lift. Many don't like the ride of the stock spring rates so...

Welcome to ExPo and I am totally digging your '68 'burb! I am doing a frame off build on a '68 C10 truck and '68 is my favorite year of these trucks. Your's is definitely one of the nicer ones I have seen.

Well, a couple things that helped were, I removed the driver side battery and tray. This gave me more room to get the washer bottle moved out of the way without having to disconnect the fluid line. Just disconnected the wiring part. I had almost full bottle of fluid and didn't spill a drop...

X2 on what JPK posted. My biggest decision was weight. I couldn't believe that half the winch weight was the steel cable. When you start hanging all that weight way in front of the axle center line, it's very surprising how much of an effect it has on suspension and braking.

Yeah, it is oil-less and figured it would be okay. I have only found one or two posts on other boards showing them mounted sideways. Since I can't get the new spare tire size to fit in the stock under bed location, I am thinking of using that space to mount the compressor and tank. The PUMA...

Our Grandby weighs in at just under 1400 lbs, with full tank of water, camp gear (dishes, silverware, etc.) but not food, clothes and other supplies that don't live in the camper 100% of the time. Even on my 3/4 ton Ram, it squatted the back end about 2" and the front 1". I just had a set of...

I recall when Trailmonkey picked up their Sportmobile. They spent a couple days using it within driving distance to the factory. They were able to go back and have a couple things tweaked on before heading back home. Just another thought to think about. Congrats!

Cool rig. I see them every so often. Personally, one of the first things I would do it go get it weighed (get the per axle weight) and see where you are at. My guess its heavier than one might think. Then I would start making plans trying to stay within a GVW with all the passengers that...

Cool. Good job and thanks for the pics. BTW, nice picture on the lift panel. :) Arggggg!
