Now THERE'S a beauty~! (and I ought to know--- I only own three of 'em~!) What year is she: '85, 86? One ton or 3/4? Small block I hope: easy to work on, etc,. Also like the service bed too. Had overland-ish plans for one of my old Chevy long-bed step-sides: because the bed was so beat up and...

Even after a pressure testing looked good I would caution you to keep close tabs on your coolant level. That smell is vapor of coolant and it is coming from someplace. A very similar thing happened to me when I could smell coolant odor emanated from my K30's 6.2L Detroit Diesel cooling sys...

Been looking at lots of bumpers myself lately and this one a Yep--- the ARB bumper looks very enticing. Thought about a second battery for my rig but from the looks of your dual batts mounting I don't believe my 2013 will have the room. Mine has that hydraulic-fluid/power-steering canister where...

My advice: Go with the snorkel--- guaranteed you'll get the girl every time~!

Subscribed~! Just bought a 2013 X myself recently and am lovin' that lil' truck--- yes it IS a truck~! It had 45k miles on it, in perfect condition and it's the S model. Needed to get something for work to get me over the mountains here in SoCal so I would not get stuck at the CHP snow chain...

Ditto~! I also would like to see more on Ozymandias's truck/camper~! Looks and sounds like a lot of work devoted to your vehicle and I'm sure more of us are more than curious to learn about it. Kind regards

Wow--- liked the look of that pop-top and I just searched Hallmark Guanella LX--- and I think I've found my camper~! Wonder why I have never seen these Hallmarks before? With a wet-bath model wifey and I should be ready to go by spring '17 retirement--- we hope. Our plan is no plans, just...

For nearly 30 years my trade has been in heavy construction, specializing in cranes and hoisting equipment and when I bought my Hi-Lift 48" in the late 80's, I instinctively knew that this was a device, like many of the things we use in the crane business, that has the potential to maim and...

Like the looks and layout of the Lance 835 and like you, my fullsize Chevy is standard cab. And since most modern campers are designed for extended and cab pickups, I've wondered how that somewhat long over hang affects your view from the standard cab driver's seat. Is it restrictive, bothersome...

Alrighty then, Treasure Coast is awfully scenic, or it WAS last time I drove A1A, hope to see it again before my old bucket gets kicked. Also, it looks from the engine compartment pics like you still have the original resistor bank in the glow plug sys. Not a bad thing but I did the--- GP...

Awesome dude~! Definitely an M1028 and I see it even has the ALWAYS lovingly placed forklift bash on driver's side bed--- my 1008 has 'em on both sides~! Wish you all the luck and BTW, did anybody tell you about this site here - LINK - tons O' Info. Also, What part of Floridee are you from? Was...

Hutchison's lookin' good, they are my choice for the next off-road only tire/wheel set~!

Wow~! Thanks for that--- what a detailed report~! Hope to do this trail in the near future only I am planning to have a pop-up by then, unless maybe I grab a good deal on a nice hardside for practically nothing. Cheers~!

Good looking rig. Like that size of camper for my vehicle only in standard cab configuration. And come to think of it I don't believe I've seen guys driving full-size-hardsides on Mojave Trail, mostly Jeeps and SUV's w/popup tents and such. How's your Lance hold up to the rolling & flexing...

Thanks for the Honeyville Farms link, they're located just down the hill from me~! And what is the Barilla tortellini package, freeze dried or MRE-type...?
