    Frige use in a bear locker

    I guess im leaning towards at least one battery in the locker when the truck/FWC are not in camp but im still assuming I can run a wire into the locker when we are there.

    Frige use in a bear locker

    I would just like to be safe and legal. Now normally safe and legal are two things that I treat as discretionary but when it comes to the safety of my family I wont chance it.

    Frige use in a bear locker

    I have been warned in the past by camp hosts when I have left the locker open for any extended period of time that you can be fined. I believe that citation goes for any area with lockers. https://www.nps.gov/depo/planyourvisit/bear-safety.htm

    Anyone here have a RAM 1500 EcoDiesel?

    Ill add my .02, all pertaining to my experience with Diesels. Ill ramble off topic but hey, why not? Every thing I mention here in no way pertains the the Raptor but does give you a biased point of view on some of your other options. I daily drove my 2001 Cummins truck for 8 months with my...

    How does vinyl sidewall attach?

    This is how my FWC is attached to the body. It's simple, the upper and lower trim just holds it in place and is sealed at the top and bottom. Hope this helps.

    Over Budget & Out Of Time Fleet Rebuild

    On the one to ten scale, for me and my lack of wood working experience, it was about a 7/10. If I had more time it wouldn't have been as bad but that and crusty old rusted hinges made it a challenge.

    Over Budget & Out Of Time Fleet Rebuild

    I have a build thread already started over at WTW (http://www.wanderthewest.com/forum/topic/8291-let-the-fun-project-begin/) and I figured I would share over here too. I ended up picking up my Fleet early this year and have been saving up for the new side liner and lift panel rebuild parts. I...
