    Hitch ball through crossmember?... Maybe..

    Would this be dangerous? There's already holes there, 2 of them bigger than the hitch ball shaft. Would one more hole hurt? Thinking about using a hitch ball as the front attachment for a 2500lbs camper, as part of a 3 point mount. Question 2. Where exactly on the frame is the best place to...

    What truck is this?

    Disregard the subframe on top. I know it's 2001 Fg 4x4, but which one? Looks too long to be fg140. Must be a fg160, right? Is that how it goes, bigger the number, longer the frame? Whatever model it is, does anyone have a owners manual, line drawings, etc? I'm particularly looking for distance...

    Rock and Roll beds?

    We're installing the lid from a FlipPac camper on the roof of our Tgb11 in the spring which will give us a queen size bed up top. But I'd also like to install some kind of couch/bed in the far back. I've seen them with seatbelts so it could still be used for passengers, but having a place...

    Can a compass be fixed? It points south...

    Bought a compensated vehicle compass on Ebay. It has the n-s and e-w screws to adjust it on the bottom. Tried adjusting it both inside and outside the truck and I can get it to swing a little in both directions, but it's still 180° off, and points south instead of north. Junk, or fixable?

    Water cooler parts?

    We all see them. Some have them in our homes. They run on 110 VAC. They take room temperature water from a big upside down clear plastic jug and turn it into VERY cold or VERY hot water, right? Anybody ever crack one open, strip the parts, and make an in-vehicle water heater/cooler that'll run...

    Xhose retracting hose

    https://www.xhose.com/index.php?page=Home This looks promising. Wonder if it gives your water a funny taste. I imagine it'll pick up a bunch of dirt as it retracts, but it looks like it packs small and light.

    New member needs help in San Diego.

    Hey folks, Made a post a few days ago about making a Volvo C303 expo rig with a custom FlipPac on top. Found a truck in San Diego, but I'm in upstate NY. Tight budget, no money for a flight to look at it, so I need somebody in San Diego who's familiar with these trucks to check it out for me.
