What you don't want an air ride console [emoji1]. If you want to grab it to template the floor profile off that would probably cut your work down. Have you checked all that wiring in the console. All the battery isolator and 2awg cables in mine would be a PITA to move.

That's funny. I never came across your product when I bought my first RTT 35 years ago. And as for the quality issue the one I bought 35 years ago is now here in the USA and still in use. Come back and brag when you have that sort of record.

Hmmm "exspurt" hey. Ex is a has been and spurt is a drip under pressure. :) Mind you one of my old bosses said "If you learned from your mistakes you would be a ********** genius" and I do stay at a Holiday Inn Express regularly. But that looks good. And honestly if I could weld 1/2 that well I...

Here is some more information that may help. http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/115592-Ambo-to-Motorhome-classification-change-AZ

I have only insured my rigs after they were classified as RV's. But I do have some experience in jumping through the Arizona MVD hurdles around reclassifying as an RV if you need some help. Whichever way you go I think getting an appraisal would be prudent. Are you in AZ with the vehicle?

My foam had disintegrated so I replaced it with some stuff from Home Depot. I also drilled a hole in the dash to get at the screws to remove it before I worked out they were not screws but push in fasteners.

That page will definitely be helpful. I pulled my dash apart last week to clean the evaporator and make sure I was not losing flow anywhere. Not sure these systems are ever going to be great. Airflow is an issue with the design of the fan/evap. And since the compressor looks to have a clutch...

And since the graph doesn't go past 100 I just worked out I need to do it early in the morning before the temp reaches 100. Good excuse for telling the missus I cannot fix the AC until it cools down.

Hi Bob Do you have the raw data for the pressures. Its easier to stick a list of numbers inside my door frame than a copy of the graphs. (I put all the torque settings, tire pressure etc on the trailing edge of the drivers door so I don't have to chase them down later and because I am a...

3 things about the ford based shuttle bus. The front entry and lack of a passenger seat as mentioned previously. Lack of insulation and lots of Windows to lose heat etc through. Running at the limits of the chassis for cooling, braking etc. Checkout prison busses for an alternative.

Just back from LA. Interestingly I did actually check my mileage on this run (1 tank only because I am a lazy bugger). 9.6 mpg with a combination of LA stop start traffic and freeway running. 70 mph on the freeway but no running the AC (because it doesn't bloody work). This was all with my 600...

Slicker than snot on a doorknob. It's sort of like that saying "I didn't know he drank until I saw him sober". I didn't know my Tranny was shifting harshly until I drove the rebuilt one.

Yeah he did better than a buddy of mine when he picked up his military truck (M-1078). Leaving from the same hotel he sort of clipped the little black car that was hiding on his off side. Didn't even know about it until I called him and told him about my visit from the security guys. Look how...

I used unistrut racks and made some mounts (basically Z mounts). Watch out for the pitch in the roof. It is actually about 3" higher in the middle. Also I just left them flat. I only have 290W through a cheap 20A MPPT controller. (OK so I cheated and figured it was only going to be 240 - 250 W...

I have a couple of lock boxes under the seats in the FL. Mainly to hold our documentation because the FL doesn't have a glove box. Now when we are heading to a boarder crossing the paperwork is in hand not in the lock box. A copy of all documents are kept where the the y can be reached for...

Talk about a duck out of water. This is my truck in the valet parking at the Crowne Casino Commerce CA. At first the valet guys crapped themselves. Then luckily 1 turned up that had a CDL. But the alternative parking was out the back in the public lot. But too sketchy for me.

They are hub centric but there is always play. And putting the wheel on you drag the rim along the threads. Now with lumpy tires like mine a few thou is probably not going to be noticeable but making the wheel easier to fit is definitely an advantage. They also save the threads on the studs from...

Oh and also I now have no red lights facing forward and mudflats all around. Should be OK to take it to California now. Having experienced propping up the state budget by paying fines there I don't want to go through that exercise again.

Had a little spare time this afternoon so I decided to rotate the tires. More to swap the sides that are exposed to the sun here in AZ than wear. But I discovered I had forgotten to get a replacement set of centering bullets (that we we called them in Oz). A traveler took a shine to them and...
