I've got this being dropped off at the house today! If you're lucky and you catch it at the right time, you can get it on Amazon for less than $60. I had it in my cart yesterday morning for $57.99, but it was out of stock with a projected delivery of August 30th. I waffled on it, and went to...

I used one of those when installing my add-a-leaf kit to my truck and never thought I'd be able to afford one!

They are steel. Aluminum would be way easier to work with though, and probably easy to source from a place like Home Depot.

The brackets are just flat pieces of metal withe holes drilled into them and then lengths of threaded rod with nuts and washers used as posts.

Here was what I did to mount my Xbull boards. Something like this might work for you.

Is anybody using a Harbor Freight bottle jack with their recovery gear? I have a Hi-lift jack, and I'm familiar with the dangers and downsides of them. I'm considering adding a bottle jack to my kit and I'm looking for affordable suggestions. Thanks!

HAHAHAHA!!!!!

I think there are places where it's legal in GA. I know some folks that go to the Carolinas and Florida to beach camp. My only concern about beach camping in GA is if the sites are vehicle accessible.

I was in NJ back in the beginning of June this year for the funeral of a relative that dies back in 2019. Unfortunately her arrangements where COVID delayed. It was nice getting back to visit family, honor my aunt, and eat some good food! I stayed at a relative's bay house in South Jersey. I...

I got to spend a week in Sydney a couple years back and we did a day trip out of the city. I absolutely loved every minute of our stay and I can't wait to get back to Australia one day. I really want to go back and do something like this: https://www.fraserdingo4wdhire.com.au/

Yeah, my ultimate, ULTIMATE goal is to get over to Australia again, but this time rent a 4-wheel drive and do Fraser Island and see some other places!

So far I've only been out in North Georgia. My eventual goal is to get out for trips to Utah, Arizona, and Montana. By the way, I LOVE that damn YouTube channel!

Thanks! I love that damn truck! It's been a lot of fun so far.

Ha! My Ranger is Aussie inspired!

Ha! First not reserved spot! I remember when these 4-doors hit the US market and I fell in love with them (in NJ too!). They reminded me of the foreign market trucks I had seen overseas that looked like serious business for going places cars usually didn't. I'm looking forward to seeing how...

Oh yeah. that makes sense. I didn't think about the geometry of what you had vs. what you were trying to mate it to being different.

Hmmmmm. this looks exactly like my Ranger's shackle! The thing is, off the top of my mind, it doesn't kick out 1 inch, which seems kind of far. Can you kick out each side 1/2" and allow it to center better?

HA! I think it sounds like you've thought this out pretty well. And on second thoughts, mounting a bus of odd dimensions onto an ambulance or dump truck frame will probably give you fits adapting the bus to the frame measurements.

The only thing I can suggest is to keep an eye out for trucks south of your border. Maybe an old medium duty dump truck or something. It could be a PITA though! I'm just wondering how much it would save you in engineering that frame into a 4WD versus dropping the body on something already...

Just a thought, but I am wondering if that bus body would fit on the heavy duty chassis of something like a 4x4 ambulance or dump truck!?! It'd probably be cost prohibitive but could up the reliability factor.
