Just delivered the truck to the new owner. Great guy/family. I will let them introduce themselves.

Yeah maybe I can buy some more ponies to put under the hood [emoji237][emoji237][emoji237]

Looks like it is sold. Deposit received and we are on our way to deliver it. Delivering to Portland via the eclipse and a little look around. We are now in Tonopah NV and having done this route a month ago using the little wheels I can do a pretty good comparison. Short answer is this truck is...

We will end up with a couple of mini splits but I had to get the real estate back on the roof as well as limit the height. Plus these type of rooftop AC's are not made to handle the terrain we will hopefully be using the truck in.

That was on Big Red. But way too high for me especially when it gets the new axles and bigger wheels. I think I will be about 13 inches taller when that is done. Then there will be 1000 watts of solar up there as well.

Adding to the "I have to clean this crap up sometime" pile.

I fixed it. Removed it completely and a Maxairre fan will be going in instead.

I wonder why the AC was making a lot of noise. And that was without running over the sort of roads/tracks we will be taking it on.

Air over hydraulic jack with a single jack stand. Go to the local industrial Metal supplies and get off cut aluminum blocks (just as light as wood but don't rot or splinter) to help under the jack. I doubt the safejack stuff would be heavy enough for your use. Make sure you have at least 2...

The size tires we use are usually not able to be balanced by the normal truck guys. I run Centramatic balancers on my front wheels and nothing in the back. Some people also use dynabeads or bb pellets.

White cab over is a MAN that belongs to a German couple who have been traveling for many years. It just needed a bit of a rest and some social time with its American cousins.

While I like the ability to change tires anywhere the reality is that my first choice is for someone else to do it. Especially outside the USA it is not expensive and it saves my back. This is coming from practical experience with split rims, beadlocks and normal type rims of all sizes. I do...

Bump to the top. Remember open to trades and reasonable offers.

I carry a spare tire not a spare wheel. But it bit me on the ******** the other week when I blew a tire on a 120f day. Swapping that tire onto the rim eventually (I actually went 90 miles home and swapped wheel set to continue my trip) sucked and would of been nearly impossible on the side of the...

I think this one has been going around for years as a scam. http://forum.expeditionportal.com/threads/165700-CL-Find-1994-Tiger-Provan-CX-Chevy-Diesel-4x4-9500-Los-Angeles-CA

It is amazing how some simple task can take up so much time. I am about 16 hours into chasing down what should be happening with my exhaust brake. All of that time has been put into chasing wiring and fixing issues I find along the way. The biggest one being that I had to remove all the dash to...

Somewhwre in the switches they pulled out would be a module master switch. That may be the commander module you have the photo of. Generally they have a positive already to the relay and the module master switch actually switches to ground.

Officially no one dies in an ambulance. How many lives have been saved, how many babies have been born? And strange as it may seem I have never been at an accident scene and have someone upset that the ambulance has arrived. Do you sleep in hotel rooms??? Care to imagine what has happened in...
