    Has Anyone Found 18" 8-Lug Alloy Wheels with a High Load Rating? SRW

    New Chev 3500 SRW. If I had to guess, the factory 18" alloys probably have a load rating around 4k. Problem is, that's only a guess and for whatever reasn, GM ain't talking. After a lot of searching, the only aftermarket 18" 8X180 alloy wheel I could find (with specs) with greater than 4k...

    End All/Be All Wood-like flooring for Truck Camper?

    Hey kids. I want a durable floor with a real wood/bamboo appearance. However, due to extremes in temperature, humidity, so forth, coming up with a solution has proved daunting. I definitely do not want a floating floor. The more waterproof the better. That had me looking at some vinyl plank...

    86 CJ7

    For whatever empty-headed reason, I decided to grab an '86 CJ7 (258 auto w/ factory 20 gallon tank) to drag to Baja for an upcoming trip. Pretty much stock, but a lot of deferred maintenance. Non-stock are the horrible low back seats (boo), Webber 38 (yay) and a points distributor with...

    Looking For Heavy Duty 4 Bike Hitch Mount Carrier Recs.

    There was a thread along these lines back in '11, but with new models, improvements (if lucky), and whatnot, thought I'd start a new thread. Looking for the best 4-bike hitch carrier option there is. Yakima seems to have gotten cheap. Thule and Curt have their detractors too. It's going on...

    Examples of Front Spare Tire Mount with Winch Bumper

    It's getting to that stage of the game where I need to start thinking about a front spare tire mount. I have a receiver on my winch bumper. Would prefer to keep access to the winch without having to remove the spare mount. I've got a couple thoughts rattling around in my head, but hoping for...

    Camper Electrical Upgrades Step by Step (for what it's worth)

    This process is scattered about, so thought I'd put it into one thread in case it helps anyone: Background: Truck camper with 210AH battery bank and a single Shell 110 solar panel (due to age, it has probably lost about 5% of its original capacity). I also have a propane generator on board...

    Auto Reset Type 1 Breaker Before Solar Controller?

    Howdy. I have a PWM controller (yea, I know). It's a 30 amp model. I going to add two additional panels which would take my max combined amps to 34-ish (let's just assume I will hit 34 amps and that will damage the controller). Any reason I couldn't put a 30 amp auto reset breaker before the...

    So, me gots a truck with dual batts and dual alts (max output 440amps). Camper has (or will have once I install them) 4 batts for 420 amp hours. Camper has solar, inverter (once it arrives) and if things get real bad, a propane genny (which I hate and would love to never use again). We spend...

    Tool Boxes and Flatbed Mounting Thoughts

    I know several have gone this route (perhaps more in the Fuso forums). Just looking for some thoughts. My FB is 8' wide. My camper is 8'1" wide. When it comes to mounting upper tool boxes, it presents a possible issue. Center section on my camper is 4'. The measurement for off the shelf...

    Looking for a little input regarding mount a camper to a flatbed.

    I think I'm going about this right, but thought I'd look for some input too. As of today, my flatbed is mounted in the standard fashion (solid mounting). Seems the best way to mount a camper to a flatbed like this, at this time, is via four spring loaded mounts. Now, once I get around to a...
