Great idea Allan, especially with you guys traveling in remote areas where tire/service is not available. Is there an on/off road setting so as to avoid an "alarm" when you are at lower pressure on purpose (off road use)? I presume the temperature sensor is part of the air pressure sensor and...

SIKA 252 is an adhesive product, commonly used to bond composite panels together. It is not a sealant, though SIKA does make products that are sealers. The key is to use the right product for the application so as not compound your problem.

The Pajero in Post 19 is cool. The single cab version of the Dyna posted above it has dimensions of 4690 mm (long) ×1690 mm (wide) × 1970mm (height) Curb weight is 1600 kg and payload capacity is 1500 kg, so you better have an awfully small and light camper. The 2.8L motor doesn't make much...

I do and I actually looked for them before I made that post. Let me look again. I know I have them, just not sure what folder they are in, lol. EDIT: Sorry man, I have looked everywhere I can think of to look and cannot find them. I had a cell phone that died about six months ago and they may...

There is a tax break and/or duty break at 12K and 14K in certain countries. I am not sure if that is the case for the States, but based on what I have seen, there are no physical differences, at least nothing substantial, such as a different rear axle or a thicker frame. The numbers do not add...

FE, FG, NPR, FTR and almost all full sized trucks are all about 78-79" wide on the exterior (cab width, not mirrors, fenders, etc). Obviously, interior dimensions and shapes are going to vary slightly, but there is a massive range from which to select products. I have had the headliner out of...

Ask Doug Hackney and Robinson Fuso how their flexible stock frames (both of them) worked out... I realise that a completely rigid frame is not possible, but I also understand how torsional and axial forces impact a frame and further an RV box mounted to that frame. Good luck with whatever...

An undamped spring is typically a mess. You would not run your car or motorcycle down the road without shocks, so why do people attempt to rely on basic coil springs or truck frames to be part of a suspension system? IMO, a truck frame should not twist much and certainly should not be "noodly"...

The stepped frame is so that the engine can be raised to accommodate their ridiculous center chunk solid front axle. This is quite uncommon in the 4x4 world, causes quite a few problems and makes the finished truck look absolutely silly with plastic cladding and huge fender gaps. Look at a...

That is why you buy LED bars from Baja Designs, they don't leak :D Good on Rigid for honouring the warranty, but those are decent quality bars; that should not happen.

Do you have photos of the A-Team van without the wrap? I would post a pic with it both ways and show potential customers that it can be had either way before you go tearing it off. If not, post a similar van without the wrap and say that it would be removed upon request? I love it, just not...

Never thought I would see a Project Binky reference here, those guys do incredible work. The whole series is worth watching, as long as you don't mind the dry British humour. Back to your regularly scheduled (shed-yooled :D) programming...

A double cab Fuso FE can easily be converted to an FG the same way that Rebel built their crew cab NPS in this thread. Buy a used Fuso FE crew with the Aisin 68RC transmission, swap the tail housing using Dodge 4500 parts and bolt on an NV273 transfer case or an Atlas. Fabricate mounts for two...

Not ridiculous at all Mark. A loaded slide in truck bed campers (main stream builders), can approach 60K USD and they are raging pieces of $hit compared to what you guys build. Top quality materials and high build quality costs money. You want the best oats for your horse, they come at a...

Joe has it right. With the NPR, and presumably most modern cabover trucks, being fitted with push-pull steering from the OEM, bump steer WOULD be an issue if there were any measurable travel in the stock suspension. This article, geared towards early Toyota trucks with push-pull steering...

Do you have fuel at the injectors? If not, you need to bleed the entire system from the tank all the way up to the injector and get ALL of the air out. On the 4M50 trucks there is an evil little piece of $hit device on the passengers side frame rail that is used to bleed air out of the lines...

Sorry to hear the bad news, but "big and heavy" is rarely safe, principally. Look at modern crash test (NHTSA and Euro NCAP). Cars that you think would do well in a crash, do not and vice versa. One of the safest cars on the road is actually a Mercedes SMART car. Due to the short overhangs front...

Dry weight on an LCT-1000 is 360 pounds.

Speedliner does not fade and I believe that Line-X offers a UV protectant as well. Some bedliners can be painted over with an automotive grade paint, but adding weight is unavoidable if you want the entire vehicle coated.
