. The one in the picture is mine. What would you like to know? It’s a 1960ish Kamper Kabin I found on Craigslist. I fixed it up, polished it, then destroyed it. It was a nice little camper until I got ahold of it, rattled all the nails out.

I did the 2wd van thing for a while and had a blast with it. Loved not having to set up camp. I took that thing down washes, all over Utah, and a bunch of other places that were “4x4” only. I had to turn around a few times but that was part of the adventure. All the weight over the rear...

May and June can get pretty hot during the day. You may want to stay in the northern parts of AZ and look for some elevation. Lake Powell is fun in the Summer/late spring if you can get your hands on some sort of watercraft or float toys. What are you building?

In the desert I would plan on not even seeing a shallow pool. If you do see one, drinking from it will be the last thing on your mind. If there is water in the desert, civilization and clean water are not far away. Bring water with you, one gallon/person/day for drinking at the least, more...

You will need twice the budget for a 7.3 Ex, probably have a hard time finding even a pickup 7.3 for under 10k.

I would call them or search through their forums to see what works for vans. https://expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/live-pids-readings-torque-pro.163483/page-1

A full set of gauges and one of these, https://www.aeroforcetech.com/products_interceptor.html, should keep you from catastrophic engine and transmission failure. The aeroforce gauge lets you run injector buzz tests and cylinders contribution test, displays and clears codes, and lets you...

First, more pics please, love those trucks. Second, hook the air to the main, you need to be running to have it on anyways. If you charge the house via the trailer harness then it will not be able to keep up with the discharge. You will drain the battery real fast running the compressor...

Awesome!

Removable and lockable so it can stay at the campsite. Pockets for the awning so it doesn’t get ripped up from branches. A place to securely place a couple bikes and outside dirty storage for trash, firewood, fire pit, etc. A removable roof rack that is moved around with a small swing out...

I think you guys are right. I thought I pulled the key and shut it off but only ended up with the key fob in my pocket. There was probably less than 30 secs from the the loss of power and video I shot, happened really fast. Do you think...

Was returning my moms Tacoma today after getting it smogged and cleaned up for family to use when they come to town. Was doing about 35mph when the thing just lost all power, no brakes, flames shooting out from the wheel wells and under the hood. Before I even melted to a stop the hood was...

Torque may not be the right word but think of the weight behind the axel acting as a lever. It takes less weight to max out the suspension the farther back the weight is. Kind of the same idea behind braking over bumps. It puts the suspension at angles that are less than ideal. A couple few...

The guy who owned my truck previously had a flatbed made for his camper. The bed is 7ft and fits a short bed camper flush when up against the headache rack. You could have one made the length you want , no problem, or just find a used one and cut it down then paint. Departure angle is what...

I have the same experience as you. I have heard you can go custom but have yet to look into it, seems expensive.

Post some pics! I would start with gauges and the transmission. Oil rail crossover is nice mod that is cheap and easy if you are dying to jump into it. The “.25 cent” fix is also something worthwhile, I didn't do it and cost me four days in Utah of a seven day trip. I'm partial...

Third party escrow is the only way to go for a deal like that. When I was a yacht broker we would not release the boat to a shipper or captain until funds were CLEARED in our escrow account. In your case, I would send signed title to the escrow company with explicit instructions that they are...

This a good topic. I suck at sharpening and would love to better at it.

More ball bearings equals a smoother reel which will cast longer and give you a better feel for what the fish is doing. The higher quality drag parts will be less prone to warping, last longer, and will pull smooth rather than jerky. The other materials plus fit and finish means it is stiffer...
