Great job. I am sure you thought about pie cutting the tubing to get your bends. The suspension is really great. There was a guy years ago out of NW Arkansas named Soni Honneger (sp?) who built an crawler they called the Scorpion that had a similar suspension except the airbag was at the...

Jackson, RedArc (Ryan) up there has done a great job of helping me with this. He is one of those guys that actually answers the phone and brings things into perspective for an old fart like me. I am really trying to sort out the batteries them selves. There are so many to choose from and I...

Have you looked into a yagi and a booster? There are other mobile options available also.

I feel ya. I am just getting out of therapy for a torn hamstring from riding my dirtbike. Being in your 50’s and trying to stay as active as possible has its challenges sometimes.

First load of stuff is here. Waiting on drawer slides, 4 gauge wire, water tank, drawer and hatch hardware, and the water tank. Received the Blue Sea circuit breakers and fuse panel. Shurflo pump, filter and accumulator tank, airline track, table lifter brackets, some LED strips, wire...

This is my second one. The first one we still have with 327K on it.

now that is a build.

you going to solid axle front?

Made a template of the bed floor to help with layout of the components. Also the first shipment of stuff has arrived for the build. All of the colored wire for the different circuits, The Blue Sea 12 position fuse block, lug connectors, water pump screen filter and pressure tank. I will use...

Ok gang, I am not a "content creative" or anything like that. I can barely type coherently. Here is the purpose on this build. 1. do not want to have to sleep on the ground. 2. want to be able to get in and out of places easier than an RV. 3. keep reliability of the base vehicle high. 4...

Stark, This is what this used to be all about. I loved reading through all of this. Learning carb tuning is one of the best things you can do for older cars and trucks. ther is so much you can do to make these vehicles really come alive with jetting and metering. The guys on Hot Rod Garage...

Looks great. Have you compiled a build sheet for this project? I know going into this for our weekend outings has been daunting both with all of the equipment out there and the cost. It would be interesting know what the value is on the build vs. what was sponsored. You have more in the...

Not a whole lot of folks embracing the full-size rig theme. Just got the bed cap put on and will be building out a sleeping platform with kitchen and 21 gallon water tank and 12V power in the bed. I so-far have most everything sourced from Amazon except for the Baltic birch plywood and...

Chapstick....

Looks pretty good. I used to build these for folks going on Safaris in full size rigs. I too used the EMT as my base material. When all of the major vendors started offering racks that bolted together I quit manufacturing them because of the expected price point. I would have around 25-30...

So I bounced into the solar generator things. Funny, they do not tell you amphours on these things so you can compare. the nice thing is they can come complete with solar panels and added batteries to augment the power supply. I can get into one of these systems that looks pretty robust for...

My other issue is locating the fridge. I would like to have it live off of the bumper of the trick on a swing out. I plan to get the insulating cover for it but, cannot find how well it would hold up to being outside.

Well I plan to have a Dometic 75 or 95 CX fridge some led camp lights 12 V water pump and a 3000 watt inverter to run a coffee maker. I really think 200 AH will be pretty good . Looking at the Renogy LiFePO 100 AH batteries with their DC-DC charger that can accommodate solar charging as well as...

Thought I would start with the batteries and build out from there. Looking at DC/DC charger that accommodates multiple battery chemistries. Then an inverter for 120 volt items. Will have a 12V water pump and LED lights and a fridge

OK gang, This isn't my first rodeo but, I only want to spend my hard earned cash once. I am looking for some batteries to supply a weekends worth of power for my setup. I have the top for the F250 on order and plan to have a water pump, Dometic CX95 fridge and some LED lights running off of...
