Now that is a freakin expedition. Major thumbs up for those folks.

If it were me I wouldn't cover the whole thing in black, and I wouldn't get overly carried away with the black I did use. The Black/white combo will look good whereas I agree all black would be too much. And black sucks up heat. Campers are usually harder to cool than they are to heat so I...

Ohhhh momma...... :punk03:

You're not kidding when you say subtle because I can't tell what changed.

My take. I got tired of rowing gears a couple decades ago so I'm all for a good auto, and I agree with the rebuilding what you got likely being the least painful and time consuming course. The only place I'd differ, and this depends on if you plan to do your own grunt work, is how I'd go...

Not sure abou side impact but go to patoz thread for slink to one that ran into a stone wall at about 60-70 mph. The E-350 portion of the ambo pretty much disappeared. The box looked like you could just drop it on another chassis and go. I'm sure in a side impact it's going to cave, but I'm...

Try that with your standard class C RV and I think you'll be slightly disappointed. Especially if you're a passenger in the back. :) I commented elsewhere on the sad state of our RV industry and the junk they produce and man did I get a ********** down. Someone that had just purchased got juuust...

Unfortunately torque for the idi starts to fall off almost as soon as you start moving. Peak torque (340-ish) happens at about 1400 rpm, whereas your hp starts off in the basement and continues to climb throughout the rpm range, peaking at about 3300 rpm with a whopping 180-ish. Of course...

I think what he is questioning is the work by this latest mechanic. If I'm understanding correctly this mechanic charged him $500 to repair a leaky hose, and then the next day told him it's actually the pump that's leaking because previous mechanic fubared the threads of the pump, and now this...

I've had a handful of these and to me there's a couple things I'd consider do-not-do. Number one is hacking up the tongue to put on some fancy "off-road" hitch. Most people do it because the Pintle hitch they feel is noisy. If the two parts are properly sized they're pretty dang quiet...

Steel. 4x6 is a pretty good size/match off-road for your Tacoma. Don't go overboard on the thickness of your steel. Most people do, and then wonder why so heavy, and you really don't need it. The reason I say steel is because if by chance you break something or need to patch something...

Never had any issue with the electronic shift on the xfer case. The trouble you will run into is locked up hubs if you don't cycle them now and again, and once they seize up there's no practical way to unfreeze. The auto-lock will still function in this case, but the manual lock will be...

I think the first thing I'd do is make sure my engine is up to snuff. Unless your van is really really heavy, I don't see any reason why it should be struggling just to pull itself, anywhere. Your current gearing/tire combo has you pretty much right at a general cruising rpm for a gas rig of...

If you're going to buy something, buy what you like and makes you happy, instead of settling for whichever one is the best deal. There's more to a good deal after all than just the best price. If it were me (again) I'd buy the Ford hands down. The V10 is a solid long lived engine with...

The typical RV is a piece of junk as far as quality of construction, but unfortunately they're the only game in town for the average recreational camper. I've owned a few and as nice as they may look and in spite of all the gee-whiz features they might stuff in, quality is at the bottom of the...
