Hmm, looks familiar. I'll be watching closely. Good luck with the sale. Tom.

How's this for a timely reply to your questions. Sorry I didn't have notifications on so never knew that this topic was getting replies until I just happened to look at it for some reason. I'm assuming you've been using your completed composting toilet for years now so these answers are for...

Hello. If you still have those tires taking up space in the garage I'd offer 1500 for them. Tom.

What? No replies. I'm surprised, this seems like a great starter package. Diesel, 4x4, aluminum box, and most important, available right now. I had to pay over 40k for mine and then spent weeks gutting it. Anyway, good luck with the sale. I'm sure the right person will come along.

I traveled extensively with these guys last summer. Cool rig that is kept in tip top condition. The ad is a good representation of the truck. Meticulous and detailed.

Glad to see some action here. Be careful making those lists. If you're like me they keep nagging at you until complete. The mini split disassembly was very straightforward. Only difficult part was soldering the copper tubing back together. I thought I had to be all careful until I watched...

Just type used ambulance into Google. I don't have a list anymore. A little research and you'll be on your way. I'm not familiar with the 5500 other than it has a higher weight rating. Good luck with the project.

Table Version 2.0 Table 1.0 wasn’t the best. With opposing drawer glides the versatility was great but the stability wasn’t. I never liked the original top either. The wood didn’t match anything in the camper and the finish was sub par. For the new one we tapped holes in an aluminum base...

Espar Heater Install I put the espar under the dinette bench. There was some wasted space there that matched the loaf of bread sized heater. I wanted to make some changes to the dinette anyway so I ripped things apart. I saw a blog once where some brilliant dude ran the heater through a...

Hey guys. Maybe you know how it is. You get to a certain point on the build where it works well enough and you're sick of working on it so off you go. I've been in the truck full time since the last post. Most of my time has been spent traveling and enjoying however I did take some time for...

Looks like I left this thread with a bit of a negative vibe. Here to fix that now. All is well with the truck. I'm down in Baja since mid January and the new camper is performing very well. The tires and wheels have had zero issues since the work mentioned above. I'm able to park where I...

Throwing out a picture of what I did. There are a few of us out there now with this platform and an ambulance box. Yep, the front still rides like it has square wheels. Trying to decide to fix that with air bags or deaver springs. I see it's an old thread but thought some of you might like...

Hello. I got your name from Jim in Washington. He said we all have the same trucks and you converted your front to air suspension. I'd love to hear how it's working out assuming you are the correct person. Worth a try, Tom.

Agreed, as long as the liquids and solids don't mix it seems to work with many materials. I've tried wood shavings like they put in rabbit cages and that didn't work at all. I wasn't able to turn the handle very well because of the coarse material. I was in Mexico once and used powdered...

At risk of being known as "that toilet guy". I thought I might share some of the pointers I've learned using the composting toilet for many years. My original review on the portal is here but the pictures are missing for some reason. You can see the whole story with pictures on my blog...

Thanks for the kind words Jim. I certainly had my moments when I was in the thick of it. I thought the exact same thing with the centramatics on the rear. I would have put them on the outside if I could get by the valve stem and didn't think they would deform with lug pressures. At least...

Not sure where the inserts were made. One wheel guy told me they were the less desireable PPE?? kind which expand with heat but I don't know. Thanks for the comment, I'll be very patient before I mess with the wheels again. So much work.

I'm really hoping for good things at this point. I drove it 20 miles yesterday and wasn't astounded. Need to give it time for the rotated tires to settle and get my pressures set before saying much. Does seem like a step in the right direction so far.

While we are on the subject of wheels lets talk about balance, or the lack of it. Keep in mind the truck drives fine, it's not terrible by any means. I just have a hard time with it not being the best it can be. I've read a lot about balance beads lately and not once have I come across...

Hey guys. I've been back in AZ for a month now. I've been wanting to update this thread but have had more pressing duties online to deal with like figuring out the tire balancing, seat cushions, and a heater. First I'd better get into some detail regarding the wheel drama I've gone through...
