Yeah if you had existing cabinets I could see that being a consideration. I haven't built mine yet. Built with them in mind at it becomes real simple. Also I really like the action of the mechanism. Very solid and very audible when they latch. They have a smaller footprint than what's shown...

Anyone use these in your camper? I use them frequently in my line of work, automotive fabrication. They make excellent, high quality products and I had been thinking about using their mini version for my cabinets. I came across this video today. With the assist spring, the mini latches would...

Yeah it's all from destroked. 5 speed Allison. Billet adapter, billet sfi flex plate and vengeance torque converter. It uses a 6.0 powerstroke starter. The controller is just a gm computer but was part of a kit that destroked used to sell. I believe they now sell one that uses an aftermarket...

I got the drivetrain all back together and hung in the chassis again. Next I have to remake all the engine and transmission mounts. The previous design left alot to be desired.

pming you

Sensitive are we? My bad.... Anyways I will be paying attention. I would love to see what you come up with and hear some real world on road feedback... My junk doesn't even run yet so you are way ahead of me. As for the $500, if I spent $500 to do my steering, it would use the off the shelf...

Steering is different. I could be wrong but I don't think anything out there yet has no mechanical connection in the steering. For example, the newest nissan offerings have a complete column with a coupler that engages if power is lost. Normal operation is all steer by wire but if the system has...

I think I have decided against a diesel stove at this point. I want to mostly cook outside so I am planning on a propane stove that can quickly be moved from inside to out. Quick pins to mount it and quick connects on the propane lines. It will probably stay mounted to the exterior side access...

Nice box! My plan is similar.

Sure but your typical hydro steering kits are not good for on road use. You know that. The setup they use in trophy trucks probably isn't great on pavement either. I would love to give one a test drive though if you can arrange that. It may further your cause :) Also not DOT legal I believe...

Almost done with the wheels. I have one more front wheel to build but here are some shots of the wheels.

After doing it for years, I have narrowed it down to using a tape measure and a basic protractor type thing. You'll scrap some tubing but that is part of learning. I still scrap some from time to time. Also maybe consider getting everyone to pitch in on it together if you are all going to use...

I feel like that is the last thing any of us should be using. Just creates a poop sausage that has to go in the landfill.

I do lot's of roll cages and use .750", 1", 1.25", 1.5", 1.625" and 1.75" Most dies are about 3 x the tubing diameter. Most used are 1.5" and 1.625" for me but would think most offroad cage stuff is 1.75"

Ram? Like hydraulic ram?

How are you doing the steering connection to the Isuzu steering box? Which D60 are you using?

Sounds like an easy enough job for any welder if you were to provide a drawing. I could do it easily. Probably just 16ga 304 stainless sheet. If you are raising it up off the floor, some support underneath is probably in order.

Not necessarily. It's supposed to be mounted near or below the highest point of the system but many people have no issue mounting it above. If you have an air bleed point it should work fine. Another option is to use a very high pressure cap in the stock location, an air bleed near the stock cap...

A common method I have seen for EGR delete on some other engines is to simply weld shut the inside of the EGR pipe. This also tends to not upset the computer because you leave the EGR valve in place and operational, it just doesn't flow any exhaust. Not sure if the engine in question uses an...

Been looking at stoves and I'm pretty set on a 22" dual burner propane from Partner Steel. It has dual 10k btu burners I'm going to mount it with quick pins and a quick release gas hose to the outside compartment door of my camper and also to my interior counter top for cooking in bad weather. I...
