    What overlanding vehicle is shown on the cover of the "vanlife diaries" book?

    Yup, you're right I was typing Club Van and added the cab for some reason, crew cab was for the 4 door pick-ups. One last revision Ford Club Wagon not Club Van.

    Old Vehicles.

    I had a 59 GMC Carryall with a 401 V-6 in it. I was a BIG 1 ton 4wheel drive, had barn doors in the back and was a US Govt survey truck. It was 10 1/2 feet from the back of the front seat to the back doors. It was stolen by my ex-partners druggy son, I wish I still had it.

    Yup, it's another suspension question. But I desperately need your thoughts!

    The right gearing for the tires and terrain you want to run in will make a big difference. OME makes good stuff and I think it's worth the money. A little more information would be great. What transmission do you have, what gear ratio do you have? It's hard to help with no info.

    Alright let's see the cool stuff you got for Christmas.

    I woke up to a white Christmas, had elk backstrap, potatoes and gravy for a late lunch. Now I'm having a cup of fresh ground, fresh brewed coffee while I surf the web, all in all a very good day. My Labs each got a new stuffed toy and I got a very nice cigar.

    15” wheels

    About, eh!

    15” wheels

    I agree but I wasn't talking about wheel availability, I was talking about the shrinking inventory of 15" tires.

    15” wheels

    I agree forged aluminum is nice and it's the only kind of aluminum wheel I'll buy, as they say "expensive but worth it".

    PSA for those who may not know...Tow balls are NOT recovery points!

    Sure I have a Harbor Freight floor jack but I sure as hell do not have any Chinese balls. :grin:

    15” wheels

    Other than inner diameter the wheel has nothing to do with the tire size. You can use your 17" wheels and get a smaller diameter tire easier and cheaper than buying both wheels and tires. Unless you're going from something like a 37 12.5 17 to a 30 9.50 15 I don't think you'll lose much weight...

    15” wheels

    Why do you want to go with 15" over 16" or 17"? I still run 15's on my Willys and tires are getting hard to find, there are a ton of 16 and 17" tires out there and probably will be for quite a while.

    Today's Example of Why I Prefer to Do All My Own Work on My Rig

    I agree that there are some shops that would do a half ass job just to get a vehicle out and get paid, I used to hate shops like that. I made a lot of money fixing the stuff they screwed up, sad thing is there really isn't a reason for it other than just being lazy, not knowing what the hell...

    Mr Buddy Heater Yes/No

    When I was in the market for a small propane heater I looked at them. Depending on which one I looked it had an altitude restriction between 4500' and 6500'. I live at 7000' and do most of my camping between 6000' and 9500' so it wasn't the heater for me.

    ICECO vl45 refrigerator/freezer review

    I have 2 of Iceco's fridge/freezers and I think they are great. I'm glad I took time to do some reading and went with them over some of the others I was thinking about buying. I know you'll like yours too!
