Hey guys, two close friends of mine have decided to let their box truck go. It's pretty unique, I'll let the pics and video speak for themselves. They stay mostly off the grid and have limited access to a computer but contact info is in the video description. I know the truck pretty well and...

Very well said. And the info above about who owns it and where/how the fees are used is infuriating. I was exploring with a buddy just last week. We were boondocking as we traveled, no interest in public campgrounds, but we went through an area where there were 4 in a row and I drove...

I had a negative wire fry itself in my rig last year on a trip. It was a mystery to me as well how it happened, but it happened. Replaced and moved on. Ground wires (meaning quality/size) are often over looked in a system but proper installation is still vitally important. And sometimes you...

I saw this on Casey Ladelle's channel the other day too. I was wondering how fast he had to be going to do that! Looks like good weather and good road. Very sad. Beautiful rig totalled.

There is a simple solution for you. It's called a van.

Unless you just have no interest in doing any of the build yourself why would you buy an SMB? I've had a few. They are overpriced underperformers in the offroad van world. Why not buy a better built home build or build one better yourself? There are superior tops, superior suspensions and...

Agreed, they are out there, but that's a 4wd van which are much harder to find. I'm no fleet expert, just had years in them everyday, but every white Chevy I've seen peels eventually. My 2011 silver Ford is even doing it. Grrrrrrrrrr.

Never, not once have I heard of it. That is some intriguing info you got back though. Still, I think it's mostly a non issue. I don't think there's risk of damage or fire from the charger cycling, but I'm no electrical engineer.

I was new to lithium about 2 years ago. I just didn't see the point. AGM had served me well in campers for many years. Then lithium got cheaper. I live by statistics. When I saw thousands and thousands of solid reviews on cheap Amazon lithium I got brave and tried it. I have now built 3...

This seems like a problem created by reading the owner's manual. I don't recommend doing that until there is a problem, and there won't be.

I was going to ramble on about how I actually prefer Chevys over Fords and have never been a Ford guy at all, except for vans, but I figured I had said more than enough. For most people Chevy van (factory interiors, etc.) hold up great. In fleet and rental world no one takes care of anything...

If you mainly travel in the east 2wd with a locker and good tires, maybe a mild lift which is easy to do, is probably all you need. 4wd Chevys are harder to come by, most are Quigleys, however you might find an AWD Chevy which is a very good platform and well proven, however that's going to...

As fir as skid plates go I like that one a lot!

We sold our Ursa and switched to an FSR RTT with a side ladder and it was much better but it's still an RTT. Great if you do heavy wheeling and want a very simple trailside camp. For us though, crossing the country for most of our adventures, it's just too small and too many disadvantages...

OEM board meeting in the 80's: "So, we'll slowly introduce to them bigger and bigger trucks very slowly over time, essentially not stopping until the bed sides and the grill are like 8 foot framed walls, with possibly the same aesthetics! If we put heated seats in them they will sell. Then...

I had this, more or less, with an Ursa Minor. There are problems. First, you can't set up or take down without getting thoroughly wet if in bad weather. Second, the access from inside of a Jeep ANYWHERE in the Jeep is only for young ambitious contortionists. My wife and I are regular sized...

No, it's a 4wd and a total Frankenstein. No idea who bought it from them (they recently sold it) but whomever did likely spends most of their time trying to keep it in one piece. There's a long thread on it a couple years back.

Is it still available?

Agreed. Pretty sure that's an AI creation but it does look slick........except for those stupid colored wheels. Wheels should be black. Always and forever. :ROFLMAO:

I'm definitely curious to see what's under that thing.
