    2022 Ford F-150 Lightning Electric Truck

    Sweet Truck!. Having that front trunk is a HUGE game changer for a truck, more than being an EV. Now just downsize it into a smaller cheaper version, like the old Ranger, and it will take over.

    What should I do with a 94 e250 extended cargo van

    I think it best to leave it 2wd with the 5.8l, EPA rated 12/16mpg, not too bad. Maybe the idea is to camper-ize it without going overboard. So what can I do to make it a better camper? Pop top? Ok, let's go overboard instead..have the sides fold down into a massive living area? Or maybe a...

    What should I do with a 94 e250 extended cargo van

    I'm in Sacramento, this van has zero rust, paint is even good after washing it. I keep an eye on CL ads all the time, an extended cargo van is hard to find, might even say rare these days, certainly a 5.8L rare. The mid=90's was a sweet spot, then we get chipped keys and overhead cams. I...

    What should I do with a 94 e250 extended cargo van

    I have this cargo van. It has 365,000 miles, a 5.8L (351W SBF) engine and the transmission needs work. Really looking to sell it frankly, but should I fix it, rebuild it, 4x4 it, high-top it, diesel-swap it..or sell it as-is cheap, needing work, almost no buyers with this mileage. Body is good...

    Van 4x4 Random Purchase Thoughts

    Well you could just keep your jeep camper and RENT a bigger vehicle to go camping with the girlfriend until you get another bigger one. Maybe tow the jeep behind it to get further. Or get a trailer and tow it with the jeep and downsize your offroad expectations for camping with the current partner.

    Pivoting frame

    The 2006-2014 Honda Ridgeline truck was a unibody, I looked at the frame rails of my F550, like 5 inches high compare to 10 inches on my GMC500 2-ton, maybe 8inches on my e450 .

    Utility RTT: Start from scratch or store-bought-and-build?

    If you are willing to do that much work, I don't see the value in paying for a brand new complete trailer. Free boat trailers are common, particularly if you get rid of the boat it comes with. :)

    What happens when the biggest and baddest vehicle breaks down

    The answer to the question 'has this been given much thought?' is NO. Something bigger and badder will come, just costs even morer and morer expensive.

    Pressurized water tank or use suction water pumps

    Thanks for finding the video! Smart fella. I had the same idea for my 34ft catamaran project about 5-10 years ago. I have a 2 gallon expansion tank with a bladder so there is no mixing of air with water, eliminating the air filtering.

    Thanks for finding the video! Smart fella. I had the same idea for my 34ft catamaran project about 5-10 years ago. I have a 2 gallon expansion tank with a bladder so there is no mixing of air with water, eliminating the air filtering. On the boat, maybe having a dive compressor so that is...

    Pressurized water tank or use suction water pumps

    A fella used air pressure for his water tanks. He had a few of the 5 gallon corny kegs. There is a video on how he did it along with the entire DIY camper build. I am planning to do something similiar? Why? Water pumps tend to fail regularly is what I've learned from boating. They are...

    What happens when the biggest and baddest vehicle breaks down

    That is bigger and badder than most all campers for sure! What is the time and cost to get it to where its needed in the mountains of new mexico or colorado or baja to drag out a non-functioning MTVR for example.

    Refrigerator Advice Wanted , Please!

    I built a custom refrigerator for my 'tiny house' trailer. I'm working on another even smaller one. It was an absolute requirement that I have an ice maker. Most of the 2015+ domestic fridges use inverter permanent magnet compressors that are way more efficient than the older inductive single...

    If a tow truck can come get you, then you must not have a vehicle more offroad than a tow truck?!

    What happens when the biggest and baddest vehicle breaks down

    Seeing some of these rather big and ************ expedition campers..what happens when it breaks down? If you have the biggest and baddest around, there is nobody who is bigger or badder that can come tow you out! It occured to me seeing those big tow trucks towing buses. Just bigger and heavier and...

    4x4 IFS Swap in Heavy truck

    From what I have read about the 8.2, they are no issues with them..until they put turbos on them because they only have like 160hp with 500ci without them. In any case, best not to have an engine that has no parts available for it when you are traveling the countryside. Perfect for a ratrod...
