    87 E350 Pathfinder 4x4 conversion van?

    I am looking at an 87 E350 conversion van on craigs list. It is about 3 hours away. I called the owner, he said the 4x4 conversion was done by a company called pathfinder. He said it had coil springs but didn't know what the axle was. The motor is a 460. Does anyone know where I can get...

    Tire Inflators - Which to get?

    I bought a warn dual force winch this spring. I haven't used the winch much but I have used the compressor quite a bit. I can take my 36" tire from 12psi to ~32psi in just under 2 minutes. Works good for air mattresses too

    Storage bags

    Not far off topic... I bought an 2" open cell foam pad with a cover from cabelas. When I roll it tight, it is still a little too big to fit in a traditional army duffle bag. Any know of slightly larger stuff sack style bag? Does not need to be water proof, just to contain the pad and keep...

    Anyone ever installed or used the terra2lo kit for the NP231? I'm toying with the idea b/c I want 2 low rwd only option. How do you like it it? Is it hard to engage or "find" 2 low? The best price I've found is ~$150, anyone know of a better deal?

    How many xj owners on here

    I often wish I'd gone with a cherokee instead of a wrangler:( More room, cheap, and every yard around has at least a couple for parts scavenging. I've got a buddy who buys them super cheap, swaps on a lift, beats the snot out of them, then starts over. We just bought a 95 PA State Park...

    Homebuilt Roof Rack

    Again nice job! Hi jack - Hey mods, is there any chance of creating a home fab section on the board? I've only been on for a few months, but i've think I've seen enough posts to support one.

    Opinion on mods and gear

    Have you considered no racks. Maybe just pack efficiently in plastic lockers/ rubber maids and when you get to the sleeping destination put the storage containers outside or under the rig. I'm thinking 1 man and 1 dog in a midsize SUV could pull it off. Fight the urge to over pack.

    Propane bottle mounts?

    I've found that an old steel milk crate holds a propane tank perfectly. A heavy duty plastic crate may work too. I have the crate bolted down to the front of my trailor and a ratchet strap to hold the bottle down.

    Eureka! Tent Experiences?

    I have a MH tent of that era, I think mine was made by Easton for MH at that time. I still drag it out when I know the weather will be bad. For roomy camping in fair weather, I love my Coleman 2 pole dome tent. Big and easy. I can't picture a high quality 3-4 season tent that would be...
