    Burley_Industries prototype expedition trailer

    Powder coat is kind of a love hate thing. Durable when done right, but color match can be something of an issue. They just don't have the color choices available to them to guarantee a factory match. I always go back and forth when doing a trailer but usually end up settling for white. It...

    Time for a build M1101!!!

    Got to say, the thought of chopping a big structural chunk out of the side of that fine trailer makes me cringe. No alternative?

    Pics of your Ambulance. Post Up!

    Haha, yep, that's the place. Cool shows when I was a kid but I got the point I can't really watch any of those weekly dramas. Especially these cop shows where their lab looks like something out of Minority Report and every case is a case of the century. Most cops will go their entire...

    MG Metalworks Van Build

    Don't see why it would be a deal killer. An F-450 with a super 60 is no different than an F-350 with the super 60. And body wise the only real difference between them and a standard pickup/F-250 is a fender flare about 3". I wouldn't call it "huge". On the pickup it just gave a much more...

    Ringers Lactate and D5W, the miracle juice of choice for that doctor on the other end of their wireless phone. I have no idea why I remember that useless bit of trivia.

    MG Metalworks Van Build

    If you want a smokin turning radius stuff a super 60 up front. I could alllmost make a u-turn on a standard two way city street without hitting the curb....in a 4 door long bed F-450.

    Introducing O'Billy - our new Type-II Ambulance

    The shifter is already pretty tight to the seat area, and with the way the linkage is set up I don't know that you'd want to try shifting it around too awful much. If it's a must do for you you might want to consider some sort of cable linkage, but honestly, keeping those adjusted properly has...

    Price is in the ad. I guess I should have said, the price is in the post, just not at the top.

    Ambulance Camper/ Expedition Rig Conversion FAQ

    Ok, first thing you need to do is disregard what that other guy said and send ME the list of stuff. But seriously, pictures, or it didn't happen. Start a thread, post some shots of your interior, cab and box, along with a list of some of the things you're likely to sell. (And seriously...

    I'd be curious. Mine clears 37s back there with room to spare, no cuts.

    Pics of your Ambulance. Post Up!

    I was looking through some pics today and came across one of your rig hooked up to your truck and it occurred to me. There is no reason (or excuse!) that you can't slap half a ujoint kit under that bugger and get 'er up on some 35s. Give that camper some 'tude man!

    Ambulance Conversion - New Modifications.

    You could always try GoodSam rv insurance. GoodSam specializes in all things RV so they might have a niche they can stuff a converted Ambo. Just google Good Sam insurance and I'm sure it'll pop up. Worth a shot.

    Ambulance Conversion - New Modifications.

    Insurance companies vary on what they will and won't cover. In my case the Ambo started life as a commercial vehicle. They do not care one little bit what you managed to get your state to register as, what it is in their eyes is all that counts. Mine started commercial and as far as they...

    UJOR Build Thread

    I can help you with 1 thing. Bags don't change your load capacity. That is entirely dependent on your suspension, tires/wheels/brakes. All the bags do is level your load, up to about 5000# for the average set of bags like he's using. Routing the lines is really just a matter of looking...

    Military Surplus camper vehicles

    I'm guessing if the OP went after something in the private market he wouldn't have issue. When you buy from the gov there are sometimes EUCs to contend with stating you can't sell outside the US. But there is nothing stating you can't sell to your buddy down the street, and as far as I know...

    Best mug for camping

    Zombie, I know, but came across this thread again while searching something else and figured I'd update. I took my own advice and bought one of the Zojirushi thermoset while on a trip. Without doubt, hands down THEE best hot/cold thermos type device I've ever purchased. I thought the...

    HAM radio/amateur radio FAQ

    A bit late to the party but a simple mag base antenna mounted to the roof with the appropriate adapter at the end of the coax for your particular HT will greatly extend its in-vehicle performance.

    Introduction and future (hopefully) build thread - E350SD Ext Cargo

    Ouchie on that noise. I wonder if the trucker even stopped. My as yet not fully formed plan always did include a safety cable, for just such an issue. Oh, an not quite following that. I got lost right after "bracket". :)
