Also addressed long known problem of loose tie rod ends and leaking rack and pinion. Wasn't too bad but...

    Titan spare tire replacement fuel tank

    I would do the skinny cross and KISS. The slide backwards is not a big deal and yes with this big a camper a belly tank sort of defeats the purpose of a pop up but it could still be done. If max fuel capacity were the goal the belly tank is the best option. A pre mfd. Aux tank for the Ford...

    Titan spare tire replacement fuel tank

    Just saw that in profile. I have an Outfitter Apex 9.5 very similar to the Hallmark. I would not give up the spare with a truck camper unless willing to mount on the front. I assume you don't want an in bed tank in front of camper. Again can get a tank were you can go fully across the bed and...

    Titan spare tire replacement fuel tank

    If you can sacrafice some bed height install a boat belly tank flat in the truck bed. Depending on the tank you select you would lose as little as 7 inches. Place a plywood deck over the top.

    SOLD:Phoenix, AZ: Alucab Expedition III Roof Top Tent (SOLD) & Alu-cab Awning (SOLD)

    I did not, which again shows you are the true liar. If you would like me to post the ten emails on setting up a time to inspect the tent before I made my first offer, or the ones after telling me to go buy another brand tent, though not relevant I'll gladly do so. If I am cherry picking you...

    SOLD:Phoenix, AZ: Alucab Expedition III Roof Top Tent (SOLD) & Alu-cab Awning (SOLD)

    At this point in the communication it's clear seller left his big boy pants at home and wanted to act childish with his "low baller" comments. I however put my big boy pants on and assumed this was the end of the line. Fact to this point 1) I did not lie, 2) I never insulted the seller in a...

    SOLD:Phoenix, AZ: Alucab Expedition III Roof Top Tent (SOLD) & Alu-cab Awning (SOLD)

    After the November 9th exchange about 3 weeks of communication, I saw seller agreeing to drive to meet 2 other buyers in Albuquerque NM. This is a six hour drive and given the cost of time and fuel his out of pocket and expenses would be right at what I was offering for a pickup at his home...

    SOLD:Phoenix, AZ: Alucab Expedition III Roof Top Tent (SOLD) & Alu-cab Awning (SOLD)

    Ace, Sorry you are sort of caught in the middle. You have nothing directly to do with the disagreement. This is a good used tent and I hope you paid the price you thought was fair irregardless of what I thought was a fair price or not. The issue isn't the price in the end. The issue to me is...

    SOLD:Phoenix, AZ: Alucab Expedition III Roof Top Tent (SOLD) & Alu-cab Awning (SOLD)

    Yes Read the posts carefully. 1 I never said we had a deal. 2 I never said I offered 3500, I said I was willing to offer 3500 . 3 seller said he was going to post copies of our communication. So far he has failed to do so so I have to demonstrate I am of good character despite his statements to...

    Ram 5500 vs Ford F550

    I guess we are so focused on the diesel point we lost sight that the OP started this thread on 5500 or 550 trucks. If your shopping these trucks you better be towing or carry a heavy load which supports the diesel argument. The only advantage if you don't need the load capacity is they have a...

    Ram 5500 vs Ford F550

    2015 Cummins had the same water pump recall and a couple issues with the def sensor making it go into limp mode. Nother engine related issues. 100k and have t even needed to change brake pads. It's 3500 dually all the bells and whistles. Goes like a frieght train. If I were limited to only one...
