    FS: Warn Winch 9.5 XPS unused $1200

    This is another part that came with my project truck. I won't be needing it. It was mounted but never used. Includes the winch and control box but the control cable is missing. I can buy one and sell it with the winch if that will sweeten the deal but they are only about $50 from Warn I believe...

    Coil springs.

    Who has made that leap? What does your camper weigh? What spring rate? What spring free length? I am mainly interested in rear suspension at this time

    NPR radiator and intercooler capacity and upgrade?

    With the larger cummins engine in my rig does anyone have an opinion on the capability of the stock radiator and intercooler to manage the heat from the Cummins? Is there a common upgrade for either unit? I could easily come up with custom solutions but I would like to keep these items as off...

    Chassis flex with NPR

    I've read all about chassis flew and 3 point mounts etc. etc. but it seems to apply to Fusos and Mogs. Is this as much of an issue with the NPR chassis?

    NPR 4wd conversion and camper build thread.

    I got offered a deal that I could not refuse on this thing. It has a Cummins 6Bt, Allison trans and Dana 60s front and rear. New wheels and tires, new winch, new led lights, new bucket seats, etc etc... I am planning to delete the current flat bed and fab a frame to mount my camper on this...

    Diesel stoves.

    Who has what? Looking at the webasto. I am sure I'm unaware of some others. I have also seen some of the marine units.

    Espar hydronic mounting and exhaust options.

    Any feedback here is welcome. I am trying to decide on where to mount my D5 unit. Should I mount it inside to protect it from the elements or is frame mounting ok? Can it be submerged for short periods without damage? Has anyone plumbed the exhaust into the trucks exhaust pipe? My thoughts...

    Source for Isuzu 4BD1 or 4BD2 with manual trans and transfer case??

    Planning on using a 4BD variant in my build and was wondering how likely it would be to source an engine complete with a manual transmission and transfer case in the USA. Otherwise I can run an adapter for an NV4500

    Whale hot water heater tank or Isotemp?

    Very similar dimensions even though the Whale unit isn't round so it takes up more space really. The whale unit is cheaper but claims more capacity. Otherwise they do the same and have the same options...

    FRP interior panels? Not finding much on here

    Who uses what for interior walls and ceiling? Planning on FRP panels in my build but I am open to suggestions. We want a couple different colors and patterns and to keep the weight down so those are the main concerns.

    Camper lighting required for road use in the USA

    I searched on here so sorry if this has been covered. I am assuming I can just mimic the lighting on most RVs and be road legal. I found the law defined in Tennessee and I assume it's the same more or less state to state. What I would love is a diagram showing placement if someone has one. My...

    To straight axle swap or not? Let's hear it.

    So should I swap to a straight axle or do some sort of custom IFS with beefier parts? I would like a decent ride quality but I feel like I can obtain that with good shocks and components in a straight axle swap. With my upcoming engine swap and addition of the camper to my S10, I am considering...

    Where to buy Espar, Webasto, isotherm, ARB fridge etc....

    I searched and didn't find much. I was wondering if there is a US dealer that can provide all of these things. I can buy them separate from different places but it would be great if I could deal with 1 place and maybe get a package deal.

    Laminated double pane window panel blanks.

    I am looking into building some of my own windows for my camper build. I called a local place about providing made to order panels and to my surprise the price wasn't crazy. For starters I am wanting to build a large tilt open vent window that will sit on the roof over the bed. I want to build...

    Serious question. Wood fired heat, hot water, energy?

    So let's hear it. From the obvious to maybe not so obvious, lets hear the pros and cons. Where is its place in an overland camper. Sorry ahead of time if this is a beat subject.

    To rivet, bond or tape? Exterior panels or interior or both?

    I am in the planning stages of what to use and how to attach the interior and exterior panels on my hard sided popup camper build. I am leaning towards the 3M VHB tape for at least the interior. I am concerned about removing the outer panels for repair in the future so I was thinking of using...

    Isuzu diesel swap....

    Looking into the 4HE1 or 4BD2 to swap into my truck. Thinking of an adapter to use GM trans and transfer case or just using a divorced T case with the trans that comes with the Isuzu or finding a 4wd trans for the Isuzu. Anyone have any input on this?
