    What's wrong with this picture.

    Let me translate this: "It's the thingy, next to the little thing that that looks weird, and I think there's something next to it that might be a funny looking thing, you know, by the tire" Your response: "Thanks honey, I'll get right on that"

    Reusable hydraulic fittings - worth the extra cost?

    Amen. Some people call us hoarders destined for a reality show intervention. I like to think of us as unlisted hardware stores : )

    Reusable hydraulic fittings - worth the extra cost?

    I need to run some hydraulic lines to various components on my truck. I have deleted the air over hydraulic pump. I am interested to hear opinions on the following: 1. Are reusable hydraulic fittings too expensive to justify? 2. Where do you find best prices? 3. Are these fittings reliable...

    I have joined the club ! And yes I have lost my mine !

    They copied the Wabasto heater I believe. What I was referring to is the physical layout on base of the heater: the intake / output / fuel.

    I have one of thee too. My only concern if the proximity of the fuel line to the heat of the exhaust.

    Colorado Bill SB19-054 RE: (Former) Military Vehicle Motor Vehicle Regulation

    My hope is that we can get you guys back on the road ASAP and set a precedent. A precedent of correction of decisions made on inaccurate or limited facts. We all know another state will try similar antics. I hope we can build universal documentation that supports MV's in every state, should the...

    LMTV as an RV in California

    Yes, nice outline. As an individual you may not be able register in another state, but you are dealing with two different state laws, and the federal laws. If an RV travels to different states and countries, then are you really registering in the state where it is primarily used? Not a lawyer...

    LMTV as an RV in California

    I could be wrong, but I thought I heard they could not be registered as an RV to get around the issue. You may to register it in another state, like others do. Some incorporate. 49% of Californians surveyed are leaving California in the next 5 years.

    Do you still have a plethora of mounting brackets?

    Steel vs Aluminum tubing (Camper frame)

    Until I looked at the science, I thought plywood was a lame choice for most applications. Sealed in fiberglass or other polymer, this stuff is a beast and relatively light weight, given its strength. With epoxy, you can greatly change the characteristics of plywood. Add silica or fiberglass, or...

    Steel vs Aluminum tubing (Camper frame)

    If you are not familiar with FRP, I have a lot of questions. FRP are used by most of the major overlanding companies. Global Expedition Vehicles, Earthroamer, Total Composites. Not UV resistant?
