photo-phucket wants $450 per year for third party hosting from account holders with previously free or cheap, so the interwebs has been broken. Google is your friend.

good quality back up cameras mounted in an aerodynamic pod on the door and piped to an in dash monitor. It is being done on commercial trucks, as recently demonstrated at a commercial vehicle trade show that I attended. Towing mirrors from a half ton or 3/4 ton pickup would be a much better...

For the ones that have not been set yet, a bit of Gorilla Glue, Sika, JB Weld or your choice of adhesive on the frame, will help keep the insert from spinning. Obviously you do not want to get this in/on the threads, so applying it 'around' the hole, prior to placing the Rivnut, is ideal. The...

THERE IS NO ENGINE CALLED "CUMMINGS" FOR #@%)@_#$ SAKE PEOPLE.... IT'S "CUMMINS" -- Named after the founder, Clessie Cummins.

Do you know what length shock you will be running or how much wheel travel you are expecting? I was quite surprised to see a 4Runner last weekend with a 12" shock and 28" of articulation. While you certainly don't need this on a camper or expo rig, it sure makes getting into the back country...

While I am somewhat familiar with the materials that Jostt is using (Phenolic sheeting and XPS) foam, I can assure you that a 90mm wall does not have an R-value of 69. You might get that with Aerogel or VIP's, but certainly not with foam and fiberglass. There are some units to consider and I...

I will take a bit of an opposing view here: Driver skill, which MOST people do not have when it comes to technical, off road travel, knowing the capabilities and being able to read the trail, etc., is a PART of the equation. Proper vehicle setup is critical for safe travels. I believe that you...

There is a margin built into that rating, hence the relatively "low" number. I am quite surprised that you found a 37" tire for a 17" wheel that is rated at #4300. That is approaching commercial or military tire weight ratings (Michelin XZL, Continental MPT81, etc). I would not expect the tire...

While I am no battery expert or EE, I understand the basics of a Battery Management System (BMS), which I believe is important for a bank of house batteries. This is especially true when they are expensive lithium batteries on a 200k - 250k motorhome. Since I am not sure which batteries you...

The fix is not to make over complicated emissions laden commercial trucks that don't function properly. Nothing is accomplished by having "better" emissions if your fuel economy is reduced by 50%, thus resulting in more diesel burned to travel X number of miles. Burning 50% more diesel means...

Cool truck. As you probably know by now, many SCORE/BITD and similar teams are located in the Riverside, CA area. There is no doubt that was a support truck. There are just too many high quality parts on it in that configuration for it to be anything else really. Hawker makes a great battery...

I stand corrected sir, the 5010 is a 27.5 setup. It was only a half day rental. We rode about 12 miles and I am sure more time in the saddle would make me more comfortable, but everything just felt really weird. (end of hijack, back to Fred).

Nothing in particular, but I am open to suggestions for that terrain. I have ridden DH in Park City and Deer Valley, but that is about it for me. Most everything I ride is cross country, living in the SE, I rented a 5010 a while back and I am sorry to say that I hated it. Coming from a 26" XC...

I did not know there was another one in the autumn. Wasn't there one in Moab back in the Spring? I am pretty sure that is how I found out about the one in Crested Butte. I will take some pictures for you :D We are expecting great weather, lots of people and beautiful scenery. It sure would be...

Steve, Are you guys headed to Outer Bike next week by chance?

"one ton" and "3/4 ton" are a bit misleading in modern times. A one ton truck, i.e. F-350 dually or 3500 Dodge or Chevy, can EASILY carry 2,000 pounds in the bed. A 2017 F-350 dually has a base curb weight near #7900. The Gross Vehicle Weight Rating, or the maximum that truck can carry on it's...

The owner sold the truck months ago, so it will likely never happen.
