I've been in to Three Forks once. Beautiful area. Did you find the warm springs at Three Forks?

I got my 2005 Excursion with 6.0 diesel in May of last year. Intended primary use is road trips. My primary offroad/camping/exploring rig over the last decade has been my built 80 Series. I find...

I've been working on the Kamparoo lately, thought I'd share the mods. I'm getting it ready for a trip this May with 4 other guys to mountain bike the White Rim Trail in Canyon Lands, NP. The Roo...

Here's my post on my portable water solution. It worked great last summer. http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/79989-Completely-Portable-Hot-Water-System-Propane-Battery-Heater-Pump ...

This just shows my aluminum diamond plated laid out so I could first drill the several dozens of small holes....but I first powdered coated my frame, then pop riveted the aluminum diamond plate using...

Very cool. NICE LIFT! I love Kamparoo's. Here's mine: what I started with and how it ended up.

Couple of questions for you: I'm very interested in the custom aluminum fridge box you...

I spoke to a diesel shop in my area and considered having them do the 'bullet proofing' that I decided I would do. In the end, I did the work myself. Saved thousands and knew the work was done right....

The guy in the YouTube video above gets no respect at the diesel forums. He's apparently come to some wrong conclusions and makes some bad recommendations.

In the interest of posting accurate...

Beautiful truck. Here's mine I picked in May. I've made a few mods to my 6.0 PSD to avoid any potential issues. If you haven't done your home work on the 6.0 you need to read up at...

I'd have to go dig up my receipt, but I believe I went with the longest available; same ones you are looking at (PN 23231)


BAL Model 23221 - 19" C Series Jacks - 5000 lb Capacity
BAL Model...

Installed these on my trailer. Saw them in a build on this forum. They've worked excellent. Manufacturer is BAL.

Any experience with this size (35 qt)? Very tempted but wondering if it will be too small. Primary use would be for 2-3 persons, 2-3 nights.

Also wondering what 'open box' means to the warranty....

That's funny. Yeah, nice area. You heading up for the Harmonica Festival?

This has probably been done but can't say I've seen it on the portal. (Okay, I didn't exactly search.)

Just your typical components but not tied to a specific vehicle or trailer. Used it for the...

Chain-link ghetto? Maybe I suppose. Pic. is of my first trailer build, I chose chain cause it was readily available and fully functional.

Not designed for a spare tire but rather a sleeping platform. My build thread on MUD: http://forum.ih8mud.com/80-series-tech/460291-sleeping-platform-without-drawers-heres-what-i-came-up.html

Towed the Kamparoo to Moab about a month ago but didn't ended up even using it. It tows great on pavement. Didn't get a chance to weigh it either.

So I did manage to get out last weekend and use...

Powder Coated turned out great. Only time will tell how durable it is.

In my mind it's a kitchen, but not as fancy as others. I'll have a table, fresh water source, propane tank, propane stove, and a cooler. Kitchen, right?



I believe the decision to keep the...

The top has a 1" square tube steel frame, plywood, and some kind of vinyl that tops it off and makes the top waterproof. I've used plenty of Por15, but hadn't considered it for the smooth, unrusted...

Thanks for the feedback. Yeah, I've read the bad comments on powder coating but I have another trailer that was factory primered and painted and it just does not hold up. You literally would need...

Yes! Thanks for asking!

The new rack for the top of the Kamparoo is mostly done. The new rack needed to be taller so my legs would reach the ground for when the top becomes the floor when in the...

Some pics. to show latest progress...

Found a spare tire hanger from an 80 Series at a junk yard.
Had aluminum diamond plate cut. I'll pop-rivet them in place.
Big cooler is an option when the...

Very nice pics.!

Can you give me an idea of how many mountain bikeable miles are in City Of Rocks?

Are most of the trails desginated 'no bikes?' Or just better suited for hiking?

Thanks!

Thanks. 75.5" wide at the fenders. It's a little wider than I was planning but still a touch narrower than the tow vehicle.

Never seen a bicycle rack like that. Looks very secure, just like the...
