    Tundra 2016 4x4 custom off road camper build

    Apologies, I read your reply on my phone and missed the questions at the bottom of your last post. Yes, you do need to roughen the foam up a bit, but not too much, as you don't want to the glue to go into the "valleys", thus reducing efficacy. Panels have not been tested to failure, I simply do...

    Tundra 2016 4x4 custom off road camper build

    A few things off the top of my head and a few more from my notes, so this may get edited. Foamular 250 and 600 are not going to be common in home stores. They "may" be able to order them for you at the commercial desk, but there will be a large minium order quantity and the price will be steep...

    Ski Bum Truck V2.0, F450 Rough Road RV

    1/4" plywood is quite heavy for an interior panel, especially when backed by a sprayed in (polyiso?) foam. It is common in the SIP world to use sheeting of 1mm or less for skins. I have seen everything from 0.020 and 0.030 aluminum to 0.8mm Phenolic bonded to XPS foam sheet. I would imagine...

    Spray foam vs sheets

    Having used a can of spray foam to fill some gaps around the shop doors, I was cuirous. So, I sprayed some out onto the concrete and let it dry good. A few hours later, I tried to light it with a cigarette lighter and it did not do a thing. Hitting it with a MAPP gas torch simply resulted in...

    Mercedes Sprinter 4x4 CrewCab Expedition Build in Canada

    Easy enough to fix with a Canadian LLC and mailing address or a fellow board member in Canada who will let you use their address. There are plenty of non USDM vehicles running around the US that do not fall under the 25 year rule. An R.I. can assist you with Federalisation and you can import...

    Fred the Van. The More We Explore's Adventure Van Build Thread

    Steve, just host them here on the board, then they will always be around. I cannot tell you how many cool threads I have read through over the years where people used Photobucket, AOL photo album or so other horrible hosting service and the thread was ruined because all of the pictures to which...

    You can screen shot the image on your phone or PC, then re-save it. Ubuntu has an option to capture a specific area of the screen, so editing is mnimised.

    ^^ less than a quarter of an inch difference in the diameter of those two tires - well within tolerance, which is usually plus or minus 3%.

    International 4700 Ambo build

    Cool, can he also change the title, so it reads PRODUCTIVE instead of PRODCUTIVE?

    International 4700 Ambo build

    If you have a mechanical DT466 motor, the sky is the limit on power. I presume that an intercooler was added, always a welcomed addition to any boosted motor. Cool, dense, clean and dry air is what makes the most power.

    NPR 4wd conversion and camper build thread.

    this is a common issue on the older 4Runners and Hilux's with push pull steering. They are quite popular for off roading and if you want large tires or long suspension travel, you are looking at a high steer or cross over steering conversion. Matt and I discussed his use of the truck as a shop...

    Chris, have you considered a narrow 37? There are several models available in 12.50, but all of the 38's that I have found are quite wide. I know this is not a hard core off roader for you, just curious about the tire choice. :beer: on the A-Team wrap...

    Skiers Lodge - Build Thread

    Whilst I do not live in an area that sees much snow. I have always believed in the "best tires on the front" philosophy as they carry the most weight in a truck, do most of the braking and all of the steering. 3mm is about an eighth of an inch, so that is getting to be right on the line of the...

    NPR 4wd conversion and camper build thread.

    It is about $3,900 worth of nice :D I "presume" if Trophy Trucks use it to zoom zoom through the desert at 120 MPH, there is a certain amount of feeling and feedback there. However, I have never driven a Trophy Truck so..... They are supposed to have great customer service. Call and talk to...

    NPR 4wd conversion and camper build thread.

    I asked this question in the Rebel thread and from the images posted, it appears there was a bellcrank used, but there were no details provided. Matt has his figured out for the Chevy 60 he is using according to a conversation we had back in the late summer, but I have not been to his shop in...

    My Cummins/Allison 1000 Freightliner MT45 Step Van Build

    Those will likely be baby 10 lug in the Ford metric pattern. May not fit on an MT-45, which I believe is built by Freightliner.
