    Kickstarter deals and products

    Before folks get to excited you should look into the failure rate of these kickstarter projects. When you send your money you are NOT buying a product at a discounted price. You're buying the possibility and that's it. You are funding a startup in the hopes it pans out. You're an investor...

    Expedition Overland Show & HAM Radios...and Business USe

    Disdain for the FCC rules regarding HAM radio use seems to be on the upswing lately. It's generally easy to tell if a group is licensed or not. They either go the trucker CB route, or try to sound like Seal Team Six on a mission.

    UJOR Build Thread

    I forgot to mention this back when but better late than never. Your town has gone way overboard with the whole "expo" thing. I mean mental. When I was there for the Expo East and driving around in town I saw a sign for Expedition Dentistry. How big a mouth does a person need to have...

    UJOR Build Thread

    The modern day versions of the multi-tube roll bars of the early 80's. if 1 tube is good 4 must be freakin awesome! Oh, and seeing how many shocks you could stuff, well, anywhere you could stuff them. Seriously though, I've wheeled my junk from California to northern Maine and have NEVER...

    Belafonte Reboot....Ambulance to 4x4 Camper Conversion

    Does anybody have a good recommendation for digital replacement(s) for these 2 gauges? The voltmeter still works but the ammeter never has, why I dont know, but I figure now's as good a time as any to replace them. [/URL][/IMG]

    Advice on 7.3 Purchase

    It's not just the west coast. Most people would want at least double that price. Personally I think there's a whole lot of 7.3 kool-aid out there, but apparently there are also plenty of guys lined up to pay it. I saw a low mileage 97 for sale 2 weeks ago for $28,000 freakin dollars...

    F450 Ambulance-Opinions needed...

    I don't know that one is easier than the other, except one you could probably source all your parts from the junk yard whereas the van you'd need to either fabricate or buy. Even at that the only thing you're really saving is front spring hangers and the driveshaft. If it were me doing it I...

    1976 VW Westfalia Deluxe Camper Rebuilt Engine $10,500

    That was cool as snot, and I commend you on having the intestinal fortitude to post your selling price for the future reference of others. For most it seems like the price of an item, once sold, becomes a big freakin state secret or something. Never quite understood that.

    AmboLander

    The big buddy heats the module on my ambo to roasting in about 10 minutes. Now I've not tried this in arctic temps but my guess is I'd still be roasting, but it would dump temp faster once shut off. One thing I've noticed is it doesn't like to run very well if I start it up in low and...

    AmboLander

    Be interested to hear Erics' take. I've got the Big Buddy and thought about recessing it a bit in one of the shallow compartments back by the rear doors. But this faces it straight across the back of the module. This model has a built in fan to help move the air but again, it would just be...

    Freightliner ambulance conversion project.

    Something like this just about makes you WISH for the Zombie Apocalypse. Greasy 8 wheel drive squeelies on a road paved with Zekes. Woo Hoo!
