I have a soft top and never take it off, I don't really care for the sun beating down on you. I like to have shade and weather protection. I do however always have the side and rear windows zipped out, and sometimes the doors off. Best of both words, I even have a sunrider top and tried to...

yeah i just picked it up so its not really loaded the greatest, we scrounged around the previous owners garage for scrap wood to space it up, its already sitting on a bunch of 2x4's and misc pieces of wood. It was a random purchase about 6 hrs from home so we were not really prepared, made the...

Newest project. Just picked up this 83 Palamino for my 01 F350.

Your truck looks great, i recently picked up an 01 F350 powerstroke with the 6 speed manual. I kind of hate the color but i think with the black accents that you did to yours it will look good. I'm on the lookout for a cheap pop up camper, like you had in your previous build thread, lol i read...

No way i'd cut that up! I've been looking for a vintage trailer for ever, most i find are to far gone. Also, both of those options just look terrible imho. they truck and trailer lines just don't go well together. Neat idea though.

that siding is perfect... except for the price, it would be over 300 shipped for roughly an 8x8 piece :(

I wouldn't use steel tubing, it would be too heavy, but a few pieces of aluminum would be perfect too. The framework for the roof is already aluminum so it would be pretty easy to bolt/rivet in some sort of framework. I still am thinking of sticking to my 1x4 idea, with them on edge and a nice...

Originally the roof was rubber membrane, with luan under, then a styrofoam frame work with some 1x1's. I originally rebuilt it similar to the original construction but it just came out to flimsy and drooped under its own weight.. My plan is to use some 1x4's on edge as kind of a truss, but cut...

Yes, i noticed the UV issue and was hoping to find something similar to this that was UV resistant. My local RV place was no help so i'm seeking some out of the box ideas. I previously fixed the roof by rolling on a gallon of a white rubberized residential roof patching stuff that worked...

The flat roof on my Bethany Pick-upper has some sag and water damage that i'd like to fix. I already have the plan to rebuild it with a slight curve to help shed water. My question is what would be a good cheap and durable material for the exterior of the roof? I was thinking FRP Wall Board...

I have to ride solo, none of my friends seem to have to desire to ride bikes other than ripping around a gravel pit. They get nervous at the notion of even heading out30 or 40 miles away from home or their truck. My wife rides, but she rides slow and can't seem to handle days over 100 miles or...

My new bike, 05 F650GS Dakar with 5300 miles, just picked it up. Also just picked up an 07 Suziki DR200 for the wife. And my 04 XR250R for when I want to have some fun in the woods

I've been watching the adv forums and managaged to snag an almost new set of Icon Brawnson Textile Motorcycle Overpant and AGV Sport Excursion Kevlar Cargo Pant for $100 shipped for both. They both sell for $100+shipping new and these are like new. The cargo pants are very nice, I can were...

I started hanging out on the adv forum lurking for deals on jackets or recomendations. It seems they have the more expensive is automatically better philosopy. I'm looking for a good quality jacket with removable liner for warmth and I'd like to stay under $300 for sure, $200 would be great...

Make sure your shocks do not limit your suspension travel, you will ruin them if they do. Like previously mentioned you need limit straps to control the amount of suspension droop, its also perfectly normal for your springs to unseat. I have slightly longer shocks than I need, and limit straps...
