No, the Bullet's were only made with the 6.7 Cummins, only came in white, and only lasted two years, you did have a choice of manual or automatic transmission

THE BULLET 10 YEAR REVIEW Yup, it's been 10 years since I completed building the Bullet, if you remember, the first trip was memorial day weekend 2011 where we got to unexpectedly test out the hot water and space heater. I thought I would go through the various design aspect to update you...

time for me to do something here ! Bethany has been after me for years to bring our inflatable kayak's with us, I always resisted as we typically do whitewater kayaking and hence, take out like 7 miles from where we put in, so getting back to the camper was always my dilemma, until this past...

Not just 10 years, but 10 years of 'solid use', congrats, (kind of like that T shirt you are wearing right now !) this shows how good your design and construction was. Steve & Bethany P.S. how many miles do you have so far? (or kilometres)

another thing to look into is to contact U haul directly, I went to them looking for just a box and found them extremely helpful in getting me a list of all of the old U haul boxes and trucks for sale at the pacific northwest U haul locations (where i live) from there, I traveled around...

that would be "Basinranger" or some spelling close to that.

I agree with what's been stated above, go with a cab & chassis, what would the swap out gain you, 3 feet of frame length ? that wont get you anywhere near the frame length for a 15' to 18' box . you could look around for a used tow/ flatbed truck, take the bed off, and off you go, plus as also...

Ahh Jack.. .... nice to see you're still around. I was hoping you hadn't lost your edge !

I'll vouch for #6, - plan enough time. Bethany & I were up in Alaska from July until august 20th last year. The time of year was perfect, but I do wish we had like another 3 weeks to explore more. I would aim for at least 2 1/2 months, preferably three, enjoying the trip up and back as well...

the Liberty 331 is not intended for use with chemicals or flammable liquids, although they do make other pumps specifically for that. I don't know about the corrosion aspect, I couldn't find anything about that in the specs, but would still recommend airing it out after each use to preclude...

Hey Strangers Bethany & I are gearing up for a 5 week trip around Alaska, so one thing I wanted to have for this trip was the ability to refill the water tanks from rives & streams.. .. plus I'm about due to do something to the Bullet, it's been too long! I know there are several posts on here...

ATCws nope, I am still running the original 5500 springs. I thought about changing over to Kelderman early on as well, but decided not to for the reason of not wanting to have a potential bag failure. I was also proposed changing out to a 4500 leaf pac, but also chose not to do that as I just...

Those extrusions are proprietary, no one else will have them. Although Uhaul will sell you the parts, they are expensive new, really expensive. Your best bet is to either go to Uhaul & buy a used truck with a good box as I did, them remove the parts needed & sell or junk the rest, or more...

Nothing serious, just the 60,000 mile service plus a couple small electrical things. I did notice they parked the Bullet in the prime corner/intersection spot to draw attention. I just replaced the tires, so they only have about 4000 hard miles on them but they do seem to be wearing well &...

Yes, I too have read about some of the catastrophic failures of the Ricksons out there, (after I got mine) but I will say, I've had no problems whatsoever. you do have other options for single wheels, the tires seem to be the bigger question.
