    Baseboard heat or other radiant heat with no fan using espar for heat source.

    Instead of second radiator..... get up earlier and turn it on, then lie back down :p better though... add a timer into the circuit somewhere? Maybe timer can connect second thermostate with a higher setting??

    Stop the Helinox insanity: Introducing the $570 cot

    Well if you count the three cross braces as legs that makes 15? Or you just miss read it as "15 legs" instead of as "15-inch legs"? But who cares..... think I'll buy two and have 30 legs with 24 of them being 15". Maybe buy a bunch of them and call it ART of Lazy a Centipede. Then sell that...

    1973 Wagoneer - Full Size Camping Goodness

    could why it begins to fly straight be more to do with warmth. As engine warms and expands it seals up a compression loss from somewhere or something else not wanting to work well in a cold chunk of metal that seems to like better a hotter environment? Sparks plugs? Spark plug wires even...

    The engine of this board did not pick up the whole link. It truncated off everything after "39" If you cut and paste everything into your browser it will take you too the auction site.

    Mercedes-Benz 409d

    If I recall right a few members at Benzworld.org have/had one of these. They were on the Unimog Forum. In general guys there would be good contacts. Someone there may know part cross over for engine, bellhousing etc.

    Bed Liner as a Camper Box Construction method (spray it on Foam Insulation board)

    Part of my thoughts on using this idea as a build tool is "ease of construction". Make practically the whole thing out of insulation panel easily cut and shapped by hand. Pin it all togther and then spray the shiat out of it. No welding experience or special tools needed. Not perfect by...

    Baseboard heat or other radiant heat with no fan using espar for heat source.

    Floor radiant..... a potential easy way to do this is a false floor with the tubes attached to surface of real floor underneath. Something like a nice looking lattice floor the dirt can fall into and disappear till you get the hankering to tilt up the sections of floor and vacuum it all out.:wings:

    Unimogadventures - Our build and travel thread

    On the FMTV Trucks there is a hydraulic cylinder on each side of the frame up front that is designed to suck the front suspension down to make the truck fit inside a C130. Lot of the guys buying these trucks are yanking those off and chunking them. Bet you could use these for this purpose.

    Bed Liner as a Camper Box Construction method (spray it on Foam Insulation board)

    http://video.foxnews.com/v/4874598460001 There is no mention of it being anything more than their normal LineX product or not. If it is there normal stuff..... then other products should work to? Durabak? Have wondered about spraying insulation foam say 3 or 4" thick stuff with it to see if it...

    Tablet or Garmin, what's your poison?

    mint M1079 with only 8k miles

    Something looks wrong.... such as " Locking Interaxle Differential" This sounds like the definition of the "Power Divider" box's locking differential that basically only engauges/locks the rear most axle on a 6x6 into a full time mode. Well... this is not a 6x6 truck so it does not have this...

    1997 Land Rover Discovery XD - Build/Restoration Thread

    You got any hints on how to bypass the alarm system. I bought a 96 with no key fob . Removed the battery to test and charge it then the alarm started going off. It or something else immobilzed the engine. Have replaced ECU, have attempted to wire past the immobilizer and nothing.... no...

    School me on the topic of toilets ;)

    yeah that is how it appears to me too. Could see a pull out bucket no different than a compost set like others have used. Then you then slip it (if its metal bucket).. or its contents (if plastic) into a box mounted on outside of camper that is heated by exhaust or coolant. Same dehydration...

    Bathroom / Shower Options for Sportsmobile

    Honestly didn't know the bigger wipes you mention existed. Luckily am a small-ish person at 150lb soaking wet; if that much, so typical baby wipes at end of hard outdoor work days work for me as a cloth if I remoisten with the No Rinse solution a time or two. But that's not typical.... Bet...

    Tablet or Garmin, what's your poison?

    Thanks..... had wondered about if what I had read was off when I last searched this. Wondered cause sometimes I loose my cell signal yet my Waze (that uses Google Maps in its base programing) would still tell me where I was. I just figured it was approximating on some formula based on where it...

    Bathroom / Shower Options for Sportsmobile

    Bathing in the Traditional way (shower, river, bath tub soak, ...) is soooooooo outdated and no longer necessary. We just still do it out of habbit/tradition. thus here is my devils advocate/out of box proposal. You don't need a stinking shower.... pardon the pun...... because you still...

    Tablet or Garmin, what's your poison?

    GPS and Data Plan on a tablet or phone........ While you can download maps with WiFi...... don't you have to have Data Plan for the GPS to work? My understaning; which may be incorrect, was that you had to have a Data Plan for the GPS portion of the phone to work and also that some of the "I...

    Meet the Trot'n Turtle - Unimog U1300L Build

    What good is that as a crash bar if it is hanging on chains? Someone rear ends you and their car will just push it up as the bumper bar portion decapitates them. I assume though there is a solid mount section that is removed when offroading and only part of it remains hanging on the chains...
