    points of failure in brake system on 7.3 E350s?

    Ok I just worked out not to reply on the plane and not send until the next day. Ignore the previous post. Also Chris my van is an E350 and it has hydro boost.

    points of failure in brake system on 7.3 E350s?

    Does it run a vacuum boost or hydro boost. Sounds like a blown power steering hose to me. Easy to tell the difference between the fluids.

    Hmm can I pull a TW200 apart enough to fit in a Prius

    OK I need to pickup a TW200 from LA next week and I will have a rental Prius. Do you think that it will fit if I pull the forks and rear wheel plus turn the handle bars??? Anyone have a spare bodybag to put it in :sombrero:

    Expanding the Adventure Motorcycle Section

    How about a "Garage" section for mods (lighting, intercom, storage) equipment (workshop, tools, trailers) etc that covers all the stuff that is not specific enough for the bike specific groups but not just general conversation. Must have 2 stickies: a link to your tire test in OJ and another...

    KERMIT FOREST GREEN TOURING CHAIRS FOR SALE

    Thanks mate. They even fit my fat butt. Just as a recommendation Bellpilot was great to deal with and the chairs were better than he described.

    Maintenance Costs (BMW)

    You can get a GS911 for reading/resetting codes and performing some testing ( http://www.gs911usa.com/ ). This is a portable unit that you can take on the road with you. Other than that I find the maintenance costs of my 4 BMW bikes very reasonable. But I do all my own work so I cannot comment...

    From Russia with Love: A Ural Gear-Up Project

    OK I have to ask. Now you have had a good play with it!!!!! How much of the AZ traverse could be done on 3 wheels (remembering I have the grossly more expensive BMW roundel on mine with only 1 wheel drive)?

    AmbuLand build thread

    After seeing your Nissan and trailer I have no doubt this will be a great build. And thanks for putting up with the generator as I had the essential 5 espressos each morning. I am also very interested in seeing what you do for the WVO conversion.

    New to bikes and know nothing.

    Check out the Yamaha TW200. Light weight, big tires for the soft stuff and enough inroad manners for grocery duty. An other alternative if only using as a short haul solo grocery getter is the old CT90 or CT110 Hondas. Both of these have a cult following and parts are available worldwide.

    TW200 Rear storage ideas

    Milk crate or pelican case. Or any good bike shop will have a tank bag or tail bag to suit. Craigslist is also your friend. Also I prefer hose clamps over cable ties for holding them on.

    From Russia with Love: A Ural Gear-Up Project

    Ford E350 7.3 Ambulance vs. EB Cargo Van, which one to buy and convert to 4X4 camper?

    I have the center seat from the Odyssey in my ambo at the moment. It is great with a clipped in childs seat but it does not have seat belts suitable for booster use. But now the grand daughter is getting into booster seats there is the F550 jump seat in the garage waiting to go in. The Odyssey...

    Ford E350 7.3 Ambulance vs. EB Cargo Van, which one to buy and convert to 4X4 camper?

    Later ones have a better dash and the onboard diagnostics are a bit better. Ambo much better size but getting the 3rd seat is a pain.

    what is the usable interior width of a Ford E-series van

    I may be a fussy bugger but with the sportsmobile using all available space it was bearable for up to a week. We had a poptop and it was worth getting my fat ******** into the penthouse bed for more leg room. The TurtleTop sucked even for a night. As for the 3-6 months. When we made the decision...
