You have probably seen this, but the Propex heaters really need a large tank unless you are only camping for a few days on each trip. The stock Westy heater only lasts 4-5 days depending on usage and temperatures. Some people kill it in three days, some only knock the chill off in the morning...

:oops: Well then, I guess we are waiting for bad *** $500 hydro steering system to be installed on your truck. :lurk:

Old wives tale sir, there are plenty of modern cars with steer by wire, brake by wire and throttle by wire, none of which have any mechanical connection to those systems, whatsoever. I see your point, but I do believe that a properly designed system would handle just fine on the road. I have...

I am pretty sure that the shell was purchased from XP and the OP finished everything else himself, thus saving the $$ that he would have paid to XP to build a complete RV box. Fit and finish looks better than many factory built RV's I have seen. :beer:

Likely something such as this: http://www.pscmotorsports.com/motorsport-specific-products/offroad/full-hydraulic-steering There are several companies offering hydraulic assist, i.e. you keep your factory steering box and linkage OR a full hydro steer conversion, i.e. only a tie rod or double...

Baja Designs makes an excellent light bar, so I can only assume that your 52" bar was not one of theirs. LED light bars are certainly a place where it pays to buy quality. A high CRI index LED light bar from a company such as Baja Designs, simply cannot be compared to a $100 Chinese light from...

Open in a graphics editing program such as GIMP or Photoshop, rotate them how you want them to be oriented, change the file name and resave the image.

A top quality product is never expensive. You buy it once, from a company with an excellent reputation, solid warranty and good customer service. The product should therefore last a lifetime. If you want $99 cast Chinese wheels, knock yourself out. There is no comparison to a motorsport grade or...

A proper RV or marine furnace will draw air from the exterior and exhaust it to thr exterior. Thus, you are not combusting your interior air and therefore do not need to bring in more cold air, which then must be heated. Have you considered a propane fired coolant heater piped to a small...

Holes for beadlock bolts or fake-locks? Who made the wheels?

Those anchors are made in Tunisia with materials from France and Germany. The product is imported by the company owner in Florida. They are well reviewed, but the company does not publish any testing data from ABYC or similar. So, I would have no qualms about buying one to copy or making...

instead of a Pull Pal, use or build something like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=xjuif0HCVi4#t=85

Built on a new long wheel base E-Series chassis with the Triton V10. I think you should convert one to 4WD and take it to SEMA next year :D

Great comparison on height and body styles, Chris. Body colour grill in the 08+ body or only chrome? I presume plastic, so it could be painted, I guess. I like the proportions on it, just a bit too much SEMA show truck for a van IMO. Reminds me of the Tonka concept from the 2002 Detroit...

How about 'scoring' the paint around the perimeter of the fuel filler door, so it will crack where you want it to, without affecting the paint around it? You could also warm the paint up with a heat gun or even grind it off in the area where you know it is going to fail, i.e. sharp curves down...

This is nothing new. The regulations refer to NON RESIDENTS, meaning if you are living in the United States TEMPORARILY, then you can only bring the truck in with you for a period of one year. A good example of this is someone who comes from Switzerland, brings their MAN Unicat with them and...

Take advantage of the NZD being in the toilet and buy their Merino to save a few bucks and get a top notch product. I made quite a few purchases from AUS and NZ over the last year and saved a bundle. It is THE base layer to have, in almost all weather conditions. It keeps you warm in the...

You certainly should not "wash" a waxed cotton or canvas jacket anymore than you should wash your denim. Mild staining and such give a bit of character, but heavy stains such as grease or food can be spot cleaned with mild soap and warm water. If the garment becomes odoriferous, putting it in...

cool post man. How many vans did you convert this year? It seems like every time that I clicked on this thread there was another one going into the shop or being delivered.
