Copper, are you serious? That is so cool and I would have never thought of it as something that would go in a vehicle build but it really fits with the teak & zebrawood. Not to mention over time it will just get better looking. Cost wise how does it compare to stainless? Will it wear well as...

that is a great bit of info...thanks Paul of course now I not only have to think about how bad my woodworking skills are but also realize I shouldn't be trusted to figure out which way to point the wood :) By the way Paul I followed your Sprinter links to your site and I really like the way...

Question from someone who ins't the sharpest crayon in the box... Is there any concern with how tall this face is and only connected at the bottom that someone pull on it and crack it away from the base when pulling out?

I would say no for now... for your first radio just get the 2m and enjoy it...get to where you are comfy on ham repeaters and down the road you can always sell it and upgrade.

Don't worry about more mods... there is so much to do here in the southwest that is fine in a bone stock rig that you will be looking at inside things long before you need outside mods :) Ghost towns, mine ruins, cool hidden canyons and trails....just keep searching the trip reports from other...

here is a link to the 1/2" setup http://www.gearwrench.com/catalog/xl_pass-thru_system/gearratchet/setdetails.jsp?part=891226 I really like them even if I would have to get 2 sets to cover the range I would want

that is an insane pic....maybe no photoshop but a lot of serious mental work to think through what you needed to get the image. thanks for keeping us updated, I am not sure I would care after relaxing on a beach like that :)

If you pm me your email adrs I can send you google earth files or gps files in another format so you can double check things per your setup... But that said, we fueled up in Lake Havasu and didn't fuel again until Parker...getting 10mpg or so with a 21 gal tank....pretty much any rig can beat...

great pics and looks like a bit of fun going to fetch a new rig

So while I have some down time wating for things to come back from various shops lets have some fun figuring out a few things: Tach...I would like to install something in my factory dash but I have no idea what drives the tach on a 6.2...any thoughts? Since I will be running a hydroboost for...

No worries Scott... I am pretty sure I have the EPC disk laying around somewhere...I will look in the morning when I get home from work and if I find it then I will drop it in the mail to you. Looking forward to seeing some trip reports from this rig.

of course we want to follow your project... it is alway nice to see what folks in different parts of the country are up to even better are some trip reports with your rig!

Wow Nick, more great pics...thanks just a hair shy of 18mpg for all that highway and off road driving.....oh yeah this is why I am doing the diesel conversion :) It will be interesting once done to compare your 5.9 Cummins and a manual trans to my 6.2 turbo with the 700r auto...at least we will...

I figured I would add some links that were very helpful to me with my Troopy...this way it is a resource for any one else that comes along. Of course as much as I love Expo the 70 series section of ih8mud.com is super helpful...even a bunch of the Oz guys go there :)...

So was this packed up for 1 person? I am often jealous of solo travelers or even 2 person setups as there is soooo much more space. But when you make it a family of 3 that includes a child the gear list grows in a huge way. Also weather plays a huge role in the packing list. Clean setup and...

Very nice.... A question though.. Other than very cool looks is there a reason to do drawer faces? I would think your corner joints would be plenty strong and work well as the face. For you it doesn't seem like too much more hard work to make these amazing faces but for someone like me that...

I gotta say that cargo deck table is one of the best ideas I have seen around here. Dual purpose is great and you get more bang for your buck. Can I steal that idea on my buid?

Dang Nick, those are some great pics...I was on the trip and it looks better in your pics than it did when we were there :) And all the peep roasting credit goes out to Waymon - TexGX as he is the one that showed me how good a marshmellow Peep is when fire bathed. Looking forward to the rest...

Well I tell ya keeping the dust out is an issue on many rigs...my previous $112,000 Sportsmobile had trouble with the rear doors and dust. On the rear I will be taking a close look at the body & gate/hatch shapes and then making a run over to Space Age in Mesa as they have the best collection...

I am always looking for ways to reduce the vehicle load...so I can carry other stuff :) Thanks for the alert on these, I will swing by a Sears and look them over the idea sounds good and innovation is always interesting if nothing else
