    Trailer project

    So I want to mount a truck bed to a trailer rather than trying to find a decent truck to cut in half. Anyone have a suggestion for a brand/manufacturer to start with as a base? I'm not a welder or a fabricator so I cant just fab something up in my driveway. I actually have 2 potential...

    Solar power for Scouts

    I am an assistant scout master for my kids local scout troop. We have a 25 foot or so trailer that we use when camping. It currently has a few lights running off an automotive battery on the tongue of the trailer. I am looking for advice on a simple solar setup to keep the lights working and...

    Eco-Boost anyone?

    Was having a conversation with the wife about replacing the DD, wondering if anyone here has any experience with the Eco-Boost motor in general? Looking at a Flex in particular, but I know the 3.5 e/b is available in the full size trucks too...

    Mombasa RTT F/S in NW Ohio

    Finally getting around to listing this, the wife has been after me for awhile to be able to use our little bantam trailer again. I have used this little tent a handful of times, but I'm getting too old for all the climbing, LOL! Tent is overall in pretty decent shape but will likely need some...

    Avalanche questions...

    A few brief searches on the interwebz were inconclusive, so I will just ask a question of anyone who has owned an Avalanche. Can the mid-gate be folded down and leave the tonneau cover and the rear window in place? I find it odd that there is no mention of this feature on any dealer website...

    Anyone tried using an Explorer?

    As I was driving to work this morning, I was passed by a second gen Explorer, it occurred to me that they are almost as big as a yukon/tahoe but they most likely get a little better mileage on the highway. It seems like without the 3rd row of seats, you could arrange a decent sleeping...

    Well, that ended badly..

    I was out for a night in my little homemade trailer w/ RTT, and I had a bit of a mishap. Seems that when I repositioned the trailer by hand for better ventilation after night #1, I failed to properly reposition the trailer jacks. When I slid to the side of the tent which was over the rear of...

    Just curious about a Flip Pac..

    I wonder what the dimensions are of the flippac on the oddsized Ranger is on the AT site? It looks like it has a bed shorter than usual, if so, would a flippac like that fit in a Colorado/Canyon crew cab? Not that I have one, I'm just just curious.. I do however have a little knock off Bantam...

    Towing w/ a Jeep TJ

    I currently have Tomken bumpers on my TJ, as it was the only bumper I could find that was rated for towing and had a provision for a swing away carrier for my 33" spare tire. I want to avoid having a big ugly, rusty Reese-type hitch hanging down under my Jeep to snag on things. Recently, the...

    Any RV's in here?

    I'm wondering if anyone has used a C-class RV as a starting point for an EXPO vehicle? Seems like kind of a no brainer if you could get an older one in decent shape on the cheap. My main reason for asking is there is an OLD one, a mid 70's Dodge Van based, can't recall the make of the...
