LAH (Lithium Amp Hours) are not equivalent to lead acid or AGM Amp Hours, for those who do not know. Lithium batteries can typically be drawn down to 20% SOC (state of charge), where this would absolutely destroy a lead acid battery. Further, it can be repeated time and again with lithium cells...

Any vinyl sign or sticker printing shop that has someone with a brain should be able to do this quite easily. You need an exterior grade film from a good company like 3M, a good eye and some patience. It is not rocket science to apply pressure sensitive vinyl to a car. If that stripe is $850, I...

deleted to reduce clutter :D

How do you sell a stand alone box for an application like that? Is there a build sheet just like an FG build, specs for frame mounting points to your truck, etc. I presume it's not "that" difficult, just wondering how you guys handle that since some sytems would be integrated in the example of a...

I too have seen the 5.0 Cummins, both in the TItan and on a stand at SEMA a few weeks ago. It is a nice package and a welcome alternative to the larger pickup motors (6.6 - 6.7 liters). It will be interesting to see how electronics are handled on a crate engine made for swapping into "almost...

Buy a wrecked or running truck for 3-10k, which is almost certainly less than what a crate motor would be from Indiana. Then you have the entire harness, all sensors, cross members, transmission adapters, etc. Additionally, you have axles, tires, seats and scrap metal left over to offset the...

Or you can you use it to make custom firepits and light fixtures that sell for thousands of dollars each: 36" diameter firepit, could not find images of the larger ones: light fixture is about four feet long:

That is surprising. I will look around and see if I have any other options in my notes. They are a great company, sorry they could not help you.

^^ Fairly commonplace in mud trucks and some dusty/desert applications for obvious reasons. The UTV manufacturers should be doing it for sure, maybe under a seat base or in the dash where it's protected. Side air intakes at waist level do nothing but suck in all the dust from the guy in front...

A technological marvel and yet such a complete waste of time, money and resources. Built by the same man who created MaxiMog, which, if I recall correctly, never went anywhere other than media events and ended up in a museum: http://kiravan.net/

If you have an easy/efficient way to boil water or heat the inner pot, these will serve you well: https://usa.tiger-corporation.com/03cookingwares/06-nfh-g-thermal-magic-cooker.html

^^ Talked to them at the Flagstaff show and it seems they really do have it together. The only downside that I encountered is that their products seem to be quite popular and there was, at the time of the show, a 16 MONTH lead time. Please check that for yourself, but I was a bit taken aback.

A Palomino absolutely will not stand up to a year of continuous use and certainly not a year of back country use. Please do your homework and LOOK at the construction of most of these truck campers, they are complete garbage. This includes a $55,000 LANCE that a mate of mine just looked at a...

Your answer lies in composite panel construction. They are quite rigid and light for their thickness, certainly compared to 1/8" thick aluminum sheet. I have some panels that are 2" thick, weigh one pound per square foot and have an R value of about 30 with a special heat reflective coating...

For induction cook tops, check out Cook-Tek and TRUE. Both are well reviewed and good quality with the former being the better of the two. Stay away from the Chinese $150 models from the box retailers, they are garbage.

I have attended SEMA before and will be going again this year. I cannot imagine over-booking the convention center and surrounding spaces by that large of a margin. How many years have they been doing this show now? Solution: take the 1000 cheap chinese tire and LED light bar manufacturers that...

If you have not purchased your Wallace yet, may I suggest the Kerosene version instead. In the states at least, Kerosene does not have additives in it like ULSD does and actually offers a few more BTU's per unit of volume than diesel. The diesel unit may run on K-1, but I am fairly certain that...

Can't really say anything that has not already been said. Excellent documentation, attention to detail and a clean organised shop Destructive testing, quality welds with marine grade aluminium, Aerogels and composite panels ROPS certification and frame impact/torsional testing Very cool ****...

No hurry Chris, I will be at SEMA all next week as well. Thanks
