    FS Power Tank 10 lb Package - Sold Pending Pickup

    What's the date of the last tank certification? The last tank I bought here was expired (which wasn't disclosed before sale) and most shops won't fill tanks with expired certifications. They aren't all that expensive, but take time and it's annoying when you aren't expecting it. Oh, are...

    Shovel recommendations? Seems simple but....

    That is thee truth. I've seen guys carrying all that plus chain saws, spare parts for just about every wearable part on their junk, tools enough to make a professional mechanic green with envy, enough fluids to do a complete change of every fluid possible, welders, multiple spare tires, gas...

    Is this a good deal...

    Head studs - didn't need, unless he's running a monster tune and somehow managed to blow out the factory. The 6.4 doesn't have head issues like the 6.0 and will hold up to way way more boost. The y are good for just about any tune you can feed into the engine on the stock pump and injectors...

    Replacement Ceiling Lights for Ambulance

    My lights are round like shown, but they sit up in recessed channels in the ceiling, and those channels are covered with diffuser panels that run the length of the box. Two runs of 4 lights each I believe. Two on low circuit and two on a high circuit in each. I'm just going to pull all the...

    DieselCamper's 2008 Ford F-250 SuperCab flatbed.

    Whose lift kit did you end up with? You don't see near as many flatbeds done up as regular bodies, so it's a nice change. Especially since I have one I might do. :) How much seat time does your pup have? Some take to traveling like ducks to water but some not quite so much, with issues...

    Cost estimate to turn van into camper w/stove, fridge, toilet, shower, lighting, etc?

    Besides tripling the cost like Rob said, you can pretty much triple the time it takes as well. Almost nothing ever goes by the numbers in these types of projects, and the older the vehicle the more surprises you're likely to get, which almost always means more time and more money. What I've...

    Boomer the Quadravan 4x4 Camper

    What's your welding setup for this work. Just curious. And you've probably already thought of this but I didn't see it mentioned...while you're up there I'd clean up around all your roof vents and what-not and pour some self leveling Dicor around them. It'll give you a much needed extra level...

    1967 M416 to build or not?

    Lids are useful. I went with aluminum because it's lighter and rust free, but it also cost a bit more money. On the lunette. Don't cut it and try to weld in an extension. I recall a few trying and it never works out, as in trail failure, which makes for a big bummer of a day. I'm trying to...

    Replacement Ceiling Lights for Ambulance

    Are you saying they draw 15 watts, or put out as much light as a 15 watt halogen?

    Part for M101A2 military dump trailer

    It's a common misconception but these aren't dump trailers, as mentioned. It folds for storage, and so you can stuff more of them in a big honkin whatever for transport.

    The art of compromise

    Don't have to apologize to me man, not my junk. Send it to the OP. Either way though, accepted, it's all good, hang out a bit longer. Who knows, in future I might say something really worthy of an epic retaliation. :D

    No name awnings

    I'm guessing the rubber bits are to add support and stop the arms from rattling about when theyre in the stowed position.

    WTB Ambulance - Converted or not

    That sounds like requirements for state registrations, which has nothing to do with insurance. Most insurance companies don't care where you live. What they look at is the vin number which tells them what your vehicle was born as. If it was born as your standard run of the mill van, that's...

    UJOR Build Thread

    Good to know. I'm still up in the air on whether to keep my Ambo or not. Just a bit on the bulky side. :) I like the compact (relatively speaking) package of the regular E-series, but cant make up my mind, because that interior space and external storage is awesome.

    The art of compromise

    Some folks get behind a keyboard and figure they can toss good manners (along with good sense) right out the window. Easy to be Capt. ************ when you're anonymous. The nice thing about a wrap is it's a wrap. If you don't like, unwrap. :) I'd yank the wrap and leave Fang because NOTHING...

    Shovel recommendations? Seems simple but....

    Guess it depends on the terrain you like to muck about in. My dad being in construction, my brother and I dug more than one foundation (slab) with spade shovels and never once busted out a pick-axe for anything. Got room for both, carry both. Got room for one, I'll still take the spade...

    Shovel recommendations? Seems simple but....

    If you've got a spot on your rack for a shovel, buy a real shovel. They come in handy a lot when off road, and way more so than an axe, or a pick, or whatever else gizmo comes with those multi-tool versions they sell. I would also pass on the E-tool. That's a a shovel for a person that needs...
