    AmbuLand build thread

    Jeezus, I'd love to be able to shed 2k but I don't see it. Might shed a couple hundred changing tires and wheels, but just about everything else added needs to be there or it ceases to serve its purpose. Made a god-awful racket too. It's straight piped with no muffler. BRRRRRRRAP...

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

    Still in Canton, much to the annoyance of my Florida obsessed wife.

    AmbuLand build thread

    Last I checked mine ran about 10.5K "normal" and I doubt my loaded ready to go weight varies by more than a couple hundred. Not much to add that I dont usually carry except some food, clothes, and maybe extra water. Oh, and I did a 0-60 test the other day and managed a 14 second burn! Woot...

    Overland Vehicle Gear Website For Sale

    I guess I'm at a bit of a loss on this. I understand that it's just a website and domain name. But what about all these products listed? What's the model of this site? Do you just take orders and then call the companies of the products just ordered, purchase, then drop ship to customer...

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

    NOW he tells me. :). Seriously though, how exactly does your machine work? Does it just punch out like single words, or multiple words on a single line, or does it do multi-word multi-line stuff? I've no idea how such a machine works but I do know this much, the way I'm doing it blows...

    Interior build costs...

    This right here. Many folks spend so much time devising and refining and implementing the "Perfect Plan", which turns into a never ending cycle, that they never end up actually DOING. I'll pass on the Perfect Plan, opt for Plan Good Enough, and hit the road.

    UNIMOG 404 EXPEDITION CAMPER - Price: What do you think??

    As nice as it is it might be a tough sell as a camper. The 404 is already notoriously slow in stock config, with not much to be done performance wise for the woefully underpowered 88hp engine, and your build looks heavy. If someone could come up with a performance engine/tranny package for...

    Pre-Emission Full-sized Trucks

    I can't speak for Chevy or dodge, but for Ford I've had every diesel since the 7.3 and all the newer (not counting old) gas modulers. If you pull, pull heavy, pull a lot, and or use the diesel to make money they're useful. For schlepping around pulling any sort of "overland" trailer, or...

    Stepvan Build Thread

    If I recall it had originally been set up as some sort of train track maintenance vehicle. It had the mechanism that allowed it to run on the rails, which had been removed. It had some big honkin diesel in it and it sold for some stupid cheap sub $5k price. I came REAL close to pulling the...

    Ideal Overland setup for family + dog?

    No real dog in the brand/model thing but I have put on a fair number of miles with the wife/2 kids/2 big-ish dogs and I can say this. You REALLY don't want to be too squeezed for space while traveling. My dogs are great travelers and relatively unobtrusive to the kids, but conditions aren't...

    The Lunchbox Build... 4x4 chevy shorty van

    Bah, it won't suck. I know you've been working ballz to the wallz on your house or your van so possibly a bit rusty on the filming thing, otherwise I wouldn't bother to remind you, but remember your audience. Big 4x4s, a hot chick, and beer. Maybe toss a zombie in there somewhere. Success...

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

    Hmmm. Whats next? [/URL][/IMG] I bought these local because I'm impatient and they were the only thing available, and they kind of suck. I wanted, but couldn't get, the brass metal kind that slip together so you can form a word. These I had to punch out all the centers, try to line them...

    Freightliner ambulance conversion project.

    Cheese grits aren't too bad, and hush puppies are ok if made well, but I am totally with you on the fried okra. Crunchy on the outside, gooey slime on the inside. Makes me think that's what a deep fried earthworm must be like. Too be honest I think just about all beer is hurl worthy...

    Freightliner ambulance conversion project.

    A salt flavored yeast extract that looks like grease? No offense but bleh! I think maybe you guys should shove that stuff back in the yeast it came from and maybe go for some good old fashioned jam on your toast and biscuits. :)

    Freightliner ambulance conversion project.

    Ok, this may have been covered already, but I'm on a cell at the moment and feeling search handicapped. My Japanese wife wants to know.... what the heck is vegimite, what does it taste like, how is it used, and what is it made out of? This is for you Oz. We're out to dinner and...

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

    That's the Mr Buddy Big Buddy (I think they call it). I have no idea the BTU rating but I know that on it's medium setting it'll bake you right out of that module in about 10 minutes. I usually fire it up on medium for that 10 minutes then back it off to low. Turn it off when I hit the rack...

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

    I needed to flip a tire on the rim, which sounds simple on the surface considering you can take the rim apart, but by the time this was done I was seriously reconsidering my decision to go with these tires and rims. I was in love with the idea of the internal double beadlock, and the fact that...
