I am sure anything is possible but it went well enough with a floor jack under the outside of the support bar. I do not want to carry a floor jack with me so in the event of a flat getting it down is easier and the flat will then go in the truck so no need to lift it back in if I am not feeling...

So the floor is in and the fridge is fit. All I need to do with the fridge is about 5 minutes of wire splicing and I will be in business. The reviews were hit and miss on this so I purchased it locally to be sure I have a brick and mortar store to return it to when and if things go wrong with...

No, the clamping pressure is from the frame through the rubber to the bottom plate. The tire carrier in the middle has two plates that help keep the rim centered on the bar. Here are some pics that show where things were added. Still need to tighten it up, tack weld and throw a lock on it but...

okay, so I got the spare today and went to see how it would fit, two things, it appears it will fit, to be clear I am running the cooper discoverer s/t maxx 255/85/16. The problems I ran into are these; the hanger studs are not long enough. Also the big receiver that the fire department put in...

foldout door shelves So I knew having some tables that make for easy setup would be a good thing I finally found the time and came across the right material to make them. After paying through the nose for the aluminum H channel I wanted some cheaper solution for this next project and I realized...

ordering a spare this week, will fit it one way or another and get the answer pretty soon.

So the 255 85 16 is a 32.8" tire and from what I can tell it will fit as per my tape measure but I will update it when I try. It will be close but looks doable without modification. Definitely doable in the location, just maybe need to widen the hangars... Soon I will try.

no, I am talking about aftermarket diesel heaters. You could easily replace the stock one and get a lot of features over a propane unit with the additional safety of not having propane combustion taking place inside the cab. Maybe I am just biased but I have done a lot of reading and decided to...

The cheap chinese knockoffs are very power efficient (as I would imagine the german and russian models to be as well). Running on full draws about 1 amp (fan and fuel pump). Startup and shutdown sequence will draw about 6-8 amps on mine for about a minute(glowplug) . Not too bad and no need to...

going to replace mine with this, thanks, mine does capacity as well but is a little more than i need and the red LEDs are a bit much. this looks easier on the eyes and as long as you know the capacity of your battery and know safely how much you can draw it down this works just as well and much...

I'm curious if anyone here knows if there is a fitted seat cover that would fit the high back bucket seats that are stock in this vehicle, I did a little bit of searching and I'm not sure if anything is actually a good fit. I bought a set of cheapos to protect what I have as a really good...

The diesel heater offers two benefits, one is no combustion gas in the cab (in theory) the second is unless you need a propane tank or anything else, you can stick to the main fuel tank for space saving (wanted to avoid strapping a tank to the back). As far as the OD goes, I have read into it a...

Looks nice and straight! I go back and forth on whether or not it would have been nice to have the stock a/c and heater and I think having them already deleted let me do a little more of what I wanted inside. That said I would love to have AC and will be looking for something aftermarket when...

some pics from the last push Here was the supplied air duct which was hitting just under air temp which is about 170...180 if on full blast for a while. Being that it is boxed in I wanted to avoid as much heat escaping into the cubby as I could so I used a class B dual wall vent which dropped...

more pics. camping trip coming up in a couple weeks Dryer weather and longer days have been letting me make more progress in the back of the rig. I really like how all the cubbies have turned out. Installed a diesel air heater, A lot more to go but the list is getting shorter which is nice...

Read through this thread and thought OH SHOOT! The full size spare 37" won't fit!? I did not buy a set of 5 when I got this size but I planned on it fitting without issue under there, I will see if I can get under there soon and test fit this size I have a set of coopers ... Something tells me...

Been a wet slow winter but I figure enough progress has been made to put some pics up... Main panel with dimming controls for lights, fans, and other gizmos and monitoring charging etc... top down view of slideout stove and water filler going in, the spigot connects to the bottom of the...

I think these would do nicely but I think they are slightly smaller than mine so it would be a lot of work to retrofit... I should have the paneling off in a week so I could measure out stud spacing again but the depth is right for this and the price is not too bad either...

I will check when I get a minute, the fire dept installed them... SIDEWAYS! I had to fill the weep holes and drill new ones, also the seam of the frame is now at the bottim so even with the weep holes it is not correct. That said I have considered replacing them but they are not cheap but I have...

rear coming together Got a chance to take the rig on a trip, put 750 miles on it going through Yosemite and slept 4 nights pretty comfortably(built a temporary bed platform), the insulation was in and the trip showed me areas I need to work on while I continue tho run wires etc... Sorry for the...
