    SOLD FS: Front Runner Drawer System - Bend Oregon

    SOLD $1,500 Definitely prefer local sale in Bend Oregon but I guess I could consider shipping at an additional cost. I suppose these things have to be shipped when bought new too! I have a frontrunner drawer system for Land Rover lr3. The basic drawer system is probably the same as for other...

    Tablet for multiple cameras, Gaia, G maps and music?

    I did some searching and haven't found this discussion, though i doubt i'm the first to want this, so if the advice already exists I apologize but i haven't found it. I've got an LR3 and i'd like to install a 7" android tablet in front of the factory nav screen. On this new tablet, i'd like to...

    Any problem running LR3 without cats?

    I'm looking at a used lr3 that appears to be in pretty good shape and well-maintained but the catalytic converters are about shot on it and one of the O2 sensors is not happy with the output. Is there any problem on these rigs with all their computers if I just delete the cats or just leave the...

    Opus OP 15 - rear bed pop-out

    The opus hybrid camper has a somewhat unique pop out for the rear bed with hinged panels instead of a tent or slide out. Does anyone have experience with it and an opinion or review regarding that particular feature? I've been planning and researching a custom trailer build for quite some time...

    Pop up styles: straight up, vs wedge, vs flip?

    Looking for feedback from folks who have experience with different types of pop-tops. I think the 180 degree flip tops like the old wildernest & flip-pac and now the AT Habitat seem like they'd really be great since they are nearly as quick as the wedge or straight up pops but offer a lot more...

    Breakdown Troubleshooting Guide?

    I've been putting together a toolkit and recovery items and it occurred to me that since i'm not a highly experienced mechanic probably one of the most helpful items I could carry would be some sort of handbook to walk me through troubleshooting and diagnostic processes in the event of a...

    Replace rear side window with solid cargo access hatch (gullwing)

    I wonder if there are any DIY methods or examples for replacing a cargo area window with an access hatch that opens. I'd like to replace the rear driver-side window in my Yukon, but of course there are not kits sold to do this, and frankly I don't have the budget to consider something like a...

    Why not in USA? Australian Style Folding Camper Trailers - Front, Rear, Side folding - Hard floor, Soft Floor

    I'm interested in a variety of folding trailer campers and considering building something for myself. I'm curious about others' experiences with folding campers. I really like the quick setup/breakdown of things like the Flip-Pac or AT Habitat toppers, and I love how they flip 180 degrees so...

    Construction Method: Foam Sandwich / Composite panels? Good materials to use?

    I suppose "composite" can mean nearly anything. I'd like to build (we'll see if i can come up with the time to do it!) a lightweight and compact camp trailer, very custom. It doesn't need to be expedition tough, it won't venture too far off-road. One construction method that seems appealing is...

    http://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Webasto-2KW-Air-Top-2000ST-heater_903057570.html How sketchy is it to order from alibaba? This vendor appears to be selling the webasto heater for cheap in quantities as low as one. I'm not sure what shipping would cost, or of anything else, but it could be...

    SOLD Small sink - 15"x15"

You can use it for the same thing (a camper van) or RV, boat, bar, space ship, whatever. It's 15"x15" on the very outside. The hole in the counter can be probably...

    Astro Van AWD - 2" or 4" lift?

    Hey gang, i'm planning on a lift for my '93 AWD astro but am really torn between the 2" and 4" options. I don't want to do any major rock crawling or severe trails, but i do want to be able to do pretty gnarly roads. I have a book: "Guide to Colorado Backroads & 4-Wheel-Drive Trails" by Charles...

    Big Lift '95 Van on Ebay

    Is this one of yours Chris? Looks pretty ************. I love those bumpers, but it's not a very good fit on the e-series... I'm not sure whether i love or hate the electric RV steps. The elec. running boards are way cooler, but cost a fortune...

    How hard is it to split a transfer case and re-seal?

    My van is in the shop getting a couple things worked out, and they said the transfer case is leaking and will need to be split and re-sealed. I'm pretty capable mechanically, i'm sure i COULD do this job, just trying to decide if I WANT to. Is it a pain in the ***, or a relatively simple job...

    Astro Van Question: Over Active ABS

    Hey I know there are a few astro van experts here so i thought i'd ask... I have an 03 AWD astro cargo van that i use for work. I drive it every day, all over town. It is ABS equipped and the ABS seems to be pretty aggressive. That is to say, it cuts in quite frequently. It seems to work well...
