    Should i buy this Suburba

    Congrats. Drive it and don't worry about it. And enjoy twice the fuel mileage over your 454, huge difference.... as I'm sure you've figured out. Makes the truck much easier to use when you aren't putting 100 dollar bills in the tank to go half the distance. Ouch. The bright side to not...

    Sprinter + AirStream = $575000

    Link to 14 photos - http://s1107.photobucket.com/albums/h384/cmugler/ Thing has an aluminum bathroom. Guess that's premium price you pay for a rig like this you know... $575k for an aluminum bathroom. Perfectly justified.

    Heavy Duty Bumpers for Expedition/Overland Use: Practical Necessity or Superfluous an

    After backing into a few campsites at night.... wish I had taken off my previously straight rear bumper and sold it. Now have to scrap it and replace with something worth while. A stock bumper will crumple at 3 mph when hit head on by a 30" diameter tree. Disgraceful really, so much window...

    Using a Utility Shell and Rooftop Tent as a "Budget" Expedition Vehicle? (pics)

    pre-determined... ultimately, getting out doing and using will determine what you end up with. You can approximate what it would be like with the things you have now. Your best top and a ground tent would give you a fair idea of what it would be like. Load some gear into your truck, head out...

    Using a Utility Shell and Rooftop Tent as a "Budget" Expedition Vehicle? (pics)

    Those ARE aluminum utility shells wouldn't last long with a tent bolted to the top off pavement. Not the ones I've seen anyway. Recommend a steel frame camper, or a utility rack as pictured, or you would be better off bolting it to your truck roof as you mention. Scrutinize those lightweight...

    Picked up another 1st gen Cummins

    Yes, extremely nice shot. Make sure to crop it down, see what it looks like. If you've got the pixels to get the detail still will probably end up looking freakish... Truck looks great. Should rattle can your puller too.

    Cool and Rare K5 Camper on CL!

    Never seen a white one before, that's rare. So much better than yellow/tan with 70's graphics. Looks like maybe an engine fire happened -- flat black under the hood, engine parts painted, new hoses... the hood looks repainted maybe, no exterior photo of it. Or driver's side of the truck...

    Eco-Roamer - F650 based Expedition Vehicle

    Fine job with the editing/deletions modsters. More picky as to what went and stayed than I thought you would be. Nice to see you err on the side of respect. I too would like to know of the modifications and improvements done. I hope this truck turns out to be the rig hoped for - a truck to...

    Eco-Roamer - F650 based Expedition Vehicle

    The poster is in Ethiopia. Wouldn't surprise me if they have an inordinate amount of semi truck hijackings, etc. I hope you all realize that we have the right to get involved and stop people from harming other people in the U.S. and that you would be willing to do so if you felt it necessary...

    Eco-Roamer - F650 based Expedition Vehicle

    This is what a truck looks like while being driven when it has too much weight on it. Why? Because the truck has too much weight on it. Very simple concept to understand when you can grasp the obvious. The sky is blue, a spade is a spade, and some component or an accumulation of the components...

    Eco-Roamer - F650 based Expedition Vehicle

    What I mean by "overloaded" is too much weight for anything, be it the cabin to frame mounting, tires, leaf springs, frame, something or everything - it's weight that is causing that instability and the inability of the components to keep it stable leading to major handling problems. You have...

    Eco-Roamer - F650 based Expedition Vehicle

    The truck is/was overloaded, there is no debate. If the truck was emptied, had everything removed and was made as light as possible and it still handled like that then it would still be overloaded. Nothing makes a rig handle like that other than too much weight for what it is on, period. And...

    Four Wheel Camper fits K5 Blazer

    Someone should buy this camper For $800 ...? Given the rarity... heck, even without that it's still cheap. A 6.2 or 6.5 detroit diesel should fit in a Blaze. Think it will anyway, might be wrong. Wait a minute... there were military K5's weren't there? They had the diesel? Someone should buy...
