Starting a new project built from parts I have lying around. I was going to do a powertrain swap and SAS on my 1985 Trooper. I started looking at all the fabrication work needed and what I wanted to upgrade. I came to the conclusion that the only thing I really liked about the Trooper was the...

I'm mounting a diesel heater to a roof rack and then running hoses into my hard-sided camper shell. What is everyone using for ducting? Some cheesy cardboard type stuff came with the heater. It's not enough and doesn't look like it will stand up to the weather. Let me know what you have used. I...

I have a couple 12 volt, group 31 batteries that were neglected and discharged. I have been trying to restore them using my Ctek MXs 5.0 charger. I did the trick were you hook the bad battery in parallel with a good one to charge. I got one up to 9 volts, and the other to 6, but they won't...

NORRA is offering a pretty sweet deal on training from Jimmy Lewis. They are going to road book only navigation for motorcycles at the Mexican 1000. If you've been sitting on the fence about doing the Mexican 1000 rally, now is the time to do it...

Looking to put together a couple solar systems; one mobile, and one stationary. The biggest expense is batteries. I looked at Lithium, but the recommendations were to not use them in high temps. I'm regularly in temps over 100 degrees, does that mean I should concentrate on agm, or lead acid...

My laptop charges at 19.5 volts. Is there any way to charge it from a 12 volt system without an inverter? I ordered a car charger on amazon once and it almost started a fire on the seat in my truck. ?

I need some advice on proper wall construction, and insulation. The walls on my box truck are constructed from an aluminum outer skin, and vertical aluminum extrusions that are "Z" shaped in profile. The distance between the outer skin, and where the extrusions return is 1-3/4". I was going to...

I picked up a couple of these, they're free. I figured someone building a larger truck might also want one. https://inlandempire.craigslist.org/zip/5933157737.html

Anyone have mobile satellite TV? Tried calling direct tv for some simple questions. After 5 calls to different numbers and speaking to idiots I got nowhere. :mixed-smiley-030:

I have no affiliation but wanted to pass along this deal on flojet pumps. http://www.goldmine-elec-products.com/

I have a Thetford C250CWE cassette toilet. Does anyone know if I can run a water line over to the tank drain to fill the tank? I would rather hit the pump to fill the flushing tank than have to fill it manually.
