    The Build Has Begun!!

    ikea have a great sink for $27 and then look online for the "waterless trap" if you need to save space under the sink. There is also another trap they use on pop up campers that only extends about 3" from the base of the sink. http://www.dyersonline.com/hepvo-1-1-2-waterless-trap.html

    Freightliner ambulance conversion project.

    Well Expo went well. Had a bunch of folks attend the "Recycled Rigs" and "DIY" sessions we presented (1/2 hours notice for the DIY one :Wow1:). Many thanks to those that participated especially the hardy souls that withstood the rain, hail and snow for Fridays session. And also special thanks to...

    Salvaging a drowned jeep

    I think the crazy part is thinking you will get an unlimited for $1000. Now the longer they are out of the water the worse the damage gets. If you do get something make sure that you actually flush all the fluids. They could have contamination in every little nook and cranny even inside...

    Anti-Luce clips in the USA. What do you guys call them and where do I find them.

    Anti-Luce clips in the USA. What do you guys call them and where do I find them.

    Looks like Hal-E has a winner. I do have someone in Oz grabbing me some as well. Thanks guys. I was really scared that I would have to put a Rover part on the Freightliner and ruin its reliability forever. [emoji33]

    The Build Has Begun!!

    The new filter will be the same color within a couple of weeks. What you really need to check for is any type of grit on the element. On one of my threads there is a write up about the in tank filters Ford uses and how to eliminating them. If you eliminate the in tank filters (a must do if you...

    Anti-Luce clips in the USA. What do you guys call them and where do I find them.

    OK I have a need for self snugging (did I just invent a word or can I claim it is Australian) latches. We used these in Oz for everything. But I am struggling to find them here in the US. Any suggestions would be appreciated. What I am looking at these for is to latch up the bunk bed/bedding...

    The little Freightliner that could

    Great platform to build on. I will be keeping an eye on what you do here. I would of loved to get a crew cab 4x4 but they are as rare as rocking horse poop. And it is already costing me money. Talked to the guys at King shocks yesterday. Looks like some custom valves 2.5's will be heading my...

    Freightliner ambulance conversion project.

    Well another maintenance induced failure. Day before heading up toExpo and I decide to "fix" where they didn't bother attaching the wiring harness to the engine when it was changed. Now I have a truck that will not start. Main wiring harness looks like it may of been crushed when the installed...

    Adventure Trailer that can hold dirt bikes????? Examples or leads please.

    That ute is one I have owned for over 20 years. Still sitting in AUS waiting for me. Only vehicle I didn't sell when I started working overseas. I keep thinking I will ship it over but after the comfort of the Freightliner it would be hard to go back to a Toyota cab.

    Adventure Trailer that can hold dirt bikes????? Examples or leads please.

    How about a Tommy Gate type lift. Then you could use it as a deck out the back as well. And I dont think it will affect the departure angle or lack thereof.

    THE OSHKOSH M 1070 (!)

    $800 for 2 surplus axles and you only need to swap the punkins. I wish it was that cheap to regear my freightliner.

    Trying to choose the right chassis

    What about a M-1078. Cat engine, Allison transmission AWD CTIS and already here in the USA. They are currently governed at 58 but relatively easily regeared to a more reasonable US interstate speeds. And easily purchased for well under the cost of the European trucks and shipping let alone the...

    How much does a paint job cost where you live?

    I had Maaco do the old ambo. Color change and no body work plus I removed all the trim etc. Fair job or as we would call it in Oz "a five footer" (i.e. 5 feet before you could really notice the imperfections). Cost was either $1680 or $1860 (its a bugger being a dyslexic with old timers) From...

    Surplus camper idea

    Yes check my for sale posting. And if you permanently mount a camper it can be converted to RV and no CDL required (actually I don't think CDL is required anyway its under the 26,000 lbs)...
