Seems this is as good of an area as any to ask this question here. I'm in the design phase of a project and am curious the standard way of welding square tube that is cut at an angle to square tube of the same size, example below. Here I have 1.5" square tube that is cut at a 10° angle that...

Spent some time looking at trucks online earlier, and noticed that when I was building the GMC 1500, the upcharge for the diesel was ~ $2300 over the base: When moving up to a 2500, you're looking at nearly $11k upcharge: Is this a "because they can" scenario?

I'm very curious about peoples opinions on the economics of driving "old" vs "new". A brief explanation of my scenario: - Currently drive 2013 F150 ecoboost. Just hit 100k miles, recently had ball joints and control arms done, had one turbo replaced, have had exhaust manifolds replaced a...

I'm in "need" of a new truck. Let me give a quick back story: Owned a 2005 F150, took great care of it and stayed on top of maintenance. Spark plug ceramic cracked and fell in to the cylinder on a trip (known design flaw) ruining the motor. Truck went from being worth $13k to $1k in a few...

I have a 1999 Hallmark Ute LX. Owned for one just over one year. Overall good condition. I did add air conditioning (AC only) so that it was usable in Nebraska in the summer. It worked great, especially with the insulated soft walls this has. Fridge works but doesn't get super cold, so its...

Has anyone used or installed on of these Rigid HVAC Micro DC AirCon (micro dc air conditioner)? https://www.rigidchill.com/micro-dc-aircon/# I'm purchasing an older Hallmark Ute, and a requirement for camping in Nebraska in the summer is AC. Rooftop air is out, don't care for the added height...

Pretty simple question, did you finance your truck camper purchase? I've been on the hunt for a $5k or less TC to use for the next few years. I've been ogling the Camp X and FWC Hawk but won't buy one for a few years (not in the budget). I'm curious how many people are plopping down the cash...

In the process of planning a pop up truck camper similar to FWC and others. I'm on the fence about a few things and figured I would see what the people here think. If you have previously built a camper, particularly a pop up for a truck: What would you do differently this time around? What...

Thought I would post this here for people's opinions, since I can't seem to make up my mind. I picked up some rims for cheap that are the same as the ones on my truck, with the intent of putting them on the camper. A couple reasons why: 1) having all tires match means less spare tires to...

Thought I might share this here to get some feedback and maybe some ideas from people. I started this about a year and a half ago, and while it is still a work in progress it is now campable. The frame is 2" square tubing, 1/8" thick. The cross members are 1"x2" that is also 1/8" thick. It...
