    LostBox 2009 Kodiak C4500 Reduced 129k Self Contained off-grid 4x4

    72 and 1/2 to the ceiling, 71 and 1/2 under the center trim, 70 and 1/4 under the grab bar. Bed is queen size with an extra 6 inches at head. A long full size when stowed. Far as I know it meets requirements, I've never been turned away.

    Bump for an honest seller. We have known each other for years and he is very trustworthy. He does not know I'm writing this.

    LostBox 2009 Kodiak C4500 Reduced 129k Self Contained off-grid 4x4

    Great question, two things. Although great for DIY and self-reliance I would now prefer to have wheels that were not two piece. Apparently buckstop is working on a wheel that allows you to roll into the tire store for changes. I would also double the battery size. 4800 Watts works with so much...

    LostBox 2009 Kodiak C4500 Reduced 129k Self Contained off-grid 4x4

    Thank you for the question. The suspension is airbags in the rear by kelderman and deaver leaf springs up front. The brakes are four wheel disc. I've been surprised at what it can do off-road. A combination of down travel, weight, and ground clearance allows it to do well. Also does surprisingly...

    Composting Toilet Tips and Tricks

    How's this for a timely reply to your questions. Sorry I didn't have notifications on so never knew that this topic was getting replies until I just happened to look at it for some reason. I'm assuming you've been using your completed composting toilet for years now so these answers are for...

    SOLD: 2007 Ford F550 4x4 Hot Shot Buggy 6.0L Diesel Automatic Transmission $27,500

    What? No replies. I'm surprised, this seems like a great starter package. Diesel, 4x4, aluminum box, and most important, available right now. I had to pay over 40k for mine and then spent weeks gutting it. Anyway, good luck with the sale. I'm sure the right person will come along.

    2014 EarthCruiser FX - SOLD

    I traveled extensively with these guys last summer. Cool rig that is kept in tip top condition. The ad is a good representation of the truck. Meticulous and detailed.

    M2 Freightliner Ambulance Conversion Project. 2007 Crew Cab

    Glad to see some action here. Be careful making those lists. If you're like me they keep nagging at you until complete. The mini split disassembly was very straightforward. Only difficult part was soldering the copper tubing back together. I thought I had to be all careful until I watched...

    2009 Chevy Medium Duty 4x4 Kodiak Ambulance conversion

    Just type used ambulance into Google. I don't have a list anymore. A little research and you'll be on your way. I'm not familiar with the 5500 other than it has a higher weight rating. Good luck with the project.

    2009 Chevy Medium Duty 4x4 Kodiak Ambulance conversion

    Table Version 2.0 Table 1.0 wasn’t the best. With opposing drawer glides the versatility was great but the stability wasn’t. I never liked the original top either. The wood didn’t match anything in the camper and the finish was sub par. For the new one we tapped holes in an aluminum base...

    2009 Chevy Medium Duty 4x4 Kodiak Ambulance conversion

    Espar Heater Install I put the espar under the dinette bench. There was some wasted space there that matched the loaf of bread sized heater. I wanted to make some changes to the dinette anyway so I ripped things apart. I saw a blog once where some brilliant dude ran the heater through a...

    2009 Chevy Medium Duty 4x4 Kodiak Ambulance conversion

    Hey guys. Maybe you know how it is. You get to a certain point on the build where it works well enough and you're sick of working on it so off you go. I've been in the truck full time since the last post. Most of my time has been spent traveling and enjoying however I did take some time for...

    2009 Chevy Medium Duty 4x4 Kodiak Ambulance conversion

    Looks like I left this thread with a bit of a negative vibe. Here to fix that now. All is well with the truck. I'm down in Baja since mid January and the new camper is performing very well. The tires and wheels have had zero issues since the work mentioned above. I'm able to park where I...

    New GM Medium Duty trucks. available with 4x4.

    Throwing out a picture of what I did. There are a few of us out there now with this platform and an ambulance box. Yep, the front still rides like it has square wheels. Trying to decide to fix that with air bags or deaver springs. I see it's an old thread but thought some of you might like...

    Hello. I got your name from Jim in Washington. He said we all have the same trucks and you converted your front to air suspension. I'd love to hear how it's working out assuming you are the correct person. Worth a try, Tom.
