Mickey I am all over that idea. My son loves the old rigs as much as I do and we also know we need to spend more time exploring Utah (and we know so little of it now). We have a Spring Break that would work well....March 5th through the 9th. I know north Utah (SLC area) might be too cold then so...

I am currently seat shopping... I would the back 2 to fold flat to help with storage & sleeping setups. The front 2 is a mix between good support off road and comfort. Thanks for the tip on the GM seats. I am watching craigslist and local pick a part places....In my Troopie I used mini van take...

Kurt.... I am watching your Relic Run site and need to get over to Expedition Utah to follow the conversation....my worry is that me & the family are going to Australia for June/July (moving for longer isn't looking good due to insurance issues) and that is mostly likely when you guys are...

Got some more work done over the weekend and it was very educational for my son...dirty but educational :) First of all let me say that one of my favorite thing about older vehicles is that not only can you reach everything but you can also take things part & put them back together. As an...

Jeff you are doing a great job.. funny thing is even though I know you are back safe & sound as I am reading I still find myself feeling tensely wondering "what will happen next, will he crash again, I hope he does ok" Oh well great reads and it does make be want to get out there.

Thanks Paul, If you get to offer feedback my #1 comment would be to change the color band body to it doesn't look so much like a Waeco and I think that would help them far more than hurt. Thanks again for the info and my only other concern would be that this isn't a reverse engineering design as...

Hey Todd, I thought of you Sat when I went on the ASFIR Wheelers for Wounded run and there were 3-4 Scouts (sorry no early Broncos). I was the second oldest rig (a 68 Scout 80 was the oldest) and the burb did great. I really need to get some tall skinny tires on and do something about the...

Howdy Camping... My son & I are having a blast with the rig.. I have new photos I need to post from the last few days work. I hope to get more done this week and then get back out to play in the dirt soon.

First of all I will say that I love Paul, Ben, Bev and anyone else associated with Equipt. I think it is great that you guys are looking for a value line fridge for folks who can't or won't pay the National Luna price (even if it is the best fridge). But I gotta say that comparing a test set of...

The fold out side is genius, very cool stuff there. Find out a price and if they will ship it over and I bet you will see some interest. Thanks for keeping us hungry for cool new toys :)

thanks for updating this report... I am really looking forward to more, great work

My wife has family in Arequipa, Peru where the race passes through a few days before finishing in Lima, Peru. We are seriously thinking of going down for the end of the race. My wife would hang with family while I followed/camped along with the race & meet up in Lima. I hope to make this happen...

Hey Toolman, Great job on the wiring setup....I will be using that on my project Thanks And Matt, very cool to have you in Az and looking forward to hitting a trail sometime.

Larry I understand you thoughts on the fuel injection issue, I just pickup up a Holly Off Road Avenger carb from Craigslist and we will see how that goes. My concern is that I don't want much in the way of electronics on this beast. But if I get tons of hassles then I will be all about picking...

hey Rot, yep factory tach dash which is nice as I am working to keep it retro thus no big aftermarket tach. Mickey it is 350 and seems to do fine with that motor. I have owned built 350's, way built 454's, nicely done 396's and I think this mild 350 (recent crate motor) is perfect for what I...

Ok with my Suburbasarus project I have some options for extending the travel range between fuel stops. Currently I have a factory 21gal tank (or something like that). There is room to add an aux tank behind it or go with 1 or 2 saddle tanks along the frame. I could also get a custom tank made...

Here is my latest project... Bought it on Black Friday and proceeded to wheel 3 days & 300 miles back home, camping and trail testing along the way.

Jeff your pics & writing together are great. I am really getting a feel for how each day went and what the travel was like. One way or another I am taking my family on this route!

Well with the help of my brother in law it was time to do a little deconstruction and return to original on the old burb. I put Alex to work unbolting stuff while I started in on a weird starting issue I had....don't we all hate electrical gremlins? He did a great job of pulling out one of...

Too bad you can't use the lift and I was thinking how cool it would be in your Dodge Truck :) You actually lit a fire in me to get a welder and learn/make alot of the stuff I need like a aux battery tray, sliders, bumpers, laptop mount, roof rack and more...I have been watching the local...
