I'm driving a Ford F350 4 x 4 Crew Cab Diesel and am looking to replace the existing shocks (front & rear). I've attached a photo of my rig and as you can see I've got a good bit of weight. I generally leave town with the truck, camper, and Jeep all loaded with supplies. Then there's me at 170...

I was walking my dog a few days ago and saw this 4 wheel drive Ford Ambulance for sale on a used car lot (Crystal City Auto West) in Lewistown, Montana. I took a few pictures in case anyone was interested. I saw one very small dent in the drivers door and other than that it looked pretty good...

I'm currently looking into purchasing a Defender 110 LHD probably around 1992 to 1995 model. Back in the mid 70's I spent time in one in South America and have always loved the vehicle and now I'm considering a trip south starting October 2020. My current rig which I live in (Northern Lite truck...

I'm currently living full time in my truck camper which has (2) 180 watt solar panels and (2) Interstate GC-2 6 volt golf cart batteries (new 02/2018). About a month ago I began to have issues with the battery charge life. I thought there might be a battery connection issue but when I looked in...

I'm looking for a new truck camper to replace my 2005 Bigfoot. The new camper needs to fit on a short bed truck and have an entry door on the side. I'm not interested in anything with a rear door entry. I tow a Jeep so the side door would be a huge plus for me. I have to put up a metal porch and...

I thought I'd share this video that I came across this afternoon with other climber type people. I did this climb back in 2002. http://theadventureblog.blogspot.com/2015/02/video-i-lived-in-aconcagua.html That would be me standing on the left.

So I noticed this summer that my camper batteries are not recharging after a day of driving. They seem to be fine on a sunny day when the solar panel is charging but on cloudy days there's nothing. I wake up in the morning and the batteries are nearly dead. The batteries were replaced in May...

My broke college buddy has a 1999 Jeep Cherokee XJ. It has a 9" lift kit with new 35" tires. After he replaced the tires he went for a front end alignment and was told that the tie rods were bad and that they couldn't align it until they were replaced. Tonight we ordered a heavy duty tie rod kit...

So I've spent the past month selling most of my belongings, renting a small storage unit for some of the things that I just couldn't part with, and completed the sale of my cabin at 4:00 p.m. yesterday. I now find myself homeless and living on the road. This is something that I've dreamed of for...

I'm thinking about adding a pair of driving lights to the brush guard on my truck. They would be mounted about 3' above ground level in between my headlights. My goal is to increase my visibility to both sides and to increase the distance visibility as well. These would be used almost...

My son just switched majors and is going with film. I'm thinking of buying him a video camera for Xmas and was wondering if anybody knows what to get a college film student ? Thanks.

I'm looking to purchase (3) fuel cans. My preference is plastic since I plan to strap them to the luggage rack on the top of my camper and for some reason it seems to me that plastic would be kinder to the roof. Also, they'd have to be 100% leak proof. So I have (3) questions: 1.) Recently when...

On my truck I have after market tires and wheels.......19.5" rims. These are heavy duty (14) ply commercial tires. In addition, I have an after market heavy duty trailer hitch. The stock spare tire / wheel is 16", so I've bought a new 19.5" spare. Since I have an oversize / heavy duty trailer...

Tomorrow morning we'll be leaving Virginia and heading north for Canada. I'm not certain how long this trip will last, nor where we'll be going. There are no deadlines, and there are no destinations. I've mapped out a possible route for the beginning phase of the trip, but this could easily...

I've never had much concern for what I spray on my body to repel insects, but this year I was diagnosed with cancer and let me tell you, that will definitely make you take a second look at the way you live your life. I was always a fan of DEET and have used it whenever the need was there. I'm...

I've got a Chevrolet 2500HD Crew Cab with a BigFoot truck camper on the back. The truck weighs in at about 7,500 pounds with maybe 500 pounds of gear in the rear seat, me and the dog another 250 pounds.........a total of 8,250 for the truck. The camper weighs in unloaded at about 2,200 pounds...

Does anyone know where I can purchase decals of the world which you often see on rigs ?
