    The EEXP is Born

    Just saw your truck today, very nice looking camper. Not like anything I have seen before but it looks perfect for two people and you can bring all your toys too. Hopefully the weather improves, enjoy your stay.

    Building an over dinette bunk

    I think the bunk is pretty munch done. The only thing to figure out now is a matress. I let my little girl try it out today and she told me it needs a railing. Here is how it looks folded out of the way. It can be slid up against the window and it can be hung up against the lift system...

    Building an over dinette bunk

    I have tried it like that standing up on end, although the end opposite of the one your talking about with out the hinge. It stays up there pretty well and it's mostly out of the way. That's probably where I will end up leaving it although it does make it difficult to see out of the window...

    Building an over dinette bunk

    So I have a 2000 Cuchara that we just got a few months ago and after a four night trip with our family of five I noticed the kids could use a little more sleeping space. I decided to build a bunk over the dinette as I have seen in pictures that Hallmark offers this as an option. I have it most...

    Camper and Truck Photos

    Old camper: New camper: Just got this 2000 Hallmark Cuchara a few weeks ago and we did four nights and 850 miles in it this past weekend. The difference between bundling up and climbing out of the roof tent to enjoy my coffee in a camp chair in 40* weather and slidding out of the bunk...

    Buffalo Wing Recipes

    I usually take some butter and sweat some minced garlic in it and then add some franks to it. For the wings I steam them first to render out some of the fat and then they go in a 425 degree oven on a cooling rack that placed on a sheet tray. The steaming pretty much cooks the wings so they are...

    Considering a Yaesu FT-897D, any input?

    The 857d is a very nice unit and I'm sure you'll be happy with it. It may take a while to figure out all the menus so be sure keep the manuel very handy.

    RRC Seat Removal

    Yes but I'm in Alaska so my chooses are limited. It's not like I can drive to the junk yard in the next state over.

    RRC Seat Removal

    I've never taken mine apart but there has to be a better way then a sledge and hacksaw. I wish I could get ahold of some newer front seats, mine are trashed.

    electric zodi shower head modification

    I have learned the hard way that if the water is not constantly circulating through the heat exchanger you will end up with a steam shower and a melted hose. What I do is just leave the bucket of shower water in the shower enclosure with me and when I'm not using the water I drop the shower...

    07+ Tundra, too BIG? Advice

    We have been tossing around the idea of selling our RRC and getting a double cab truck since our family has grown and we would like to be able to comfortably take longer trips. We looked at the new tundras and decided that they are too big for us. We have settled on either a new Tacoma or a...

    Rear diff just let go

    Last year my diff ovaled out the cross shaft holes and eventually broke the cross shaft. There aren't a lot of rover parts laying around in alaska so I had to buy a complete housing and I just swapped the diff out. It takes very little time to slide out axle shafts r&r a diff and slide the...

    Considering a Yaesu FT-897D, any input?

    I have the 857d mounted under the drawer system in my Range Rover and I used the quick detach bracket from the old ft100 hf radio that Yeasu used to make. You have to make 2 small spacers for the side of the radio but it works great. Then I can easily remove it and use it as my base radio as...

    Looks like it would be 3.357 gearing in the models I'm looking at. Thanks.

    Considering a Nissan

    I emailed AT to see what it would take to ship one to Alaska since that would be a little bit of a drive for me to pick it up. We'll see what they say. I'll have to weigh the cost of the flip pac against buying a camper shell and mounting the tent I already have to the top of it and see where...

    Considering a Nissan

    I'm not really looking for more passenger room but mostly more cargo space. The rover was fine with my wife and I but after adding a few kids we have to bring more stuff. Sounds like the roof would work if needed but I have been thinking about the bed rack as well. Or a flippac maybe? Anyone...

    Considering a Nissan

    Did the OME suspension just come out for these trucks recently or is there another reason that it isn't very popular? I like the coil overs but they are quite a bit more expensive. The OME appeals to me because I know that I can load it down and it can take it. Are the available roof rack...

    Considering a Nissan

    That's pretty much what I have been doing and I plan to drive them both back to back when the day comes. I have read that the Titan front diff can be swapped in, is that correct? I really like the look of the DC Tacoma but the Frontier is growing on me. My neighbor has a black DC...
