Stockton Wheel went permanently out of business a few years ago. Their shop made my steelies into 16x10, so I could fit E rated MTs. I've had to straighten them twice for being out of round after slipping sideways off rocks. Been happy w Cooper STT Pro, 35x12. I found Pico Wheel in Ventura...

I'm in the midst of installing a diesel heater & this would be a great solution. I can do Apple Pay. I'm available Thursday Friday this week

Your ideas are sound, and if you do not have to be limited by height, going over the cab would require about 7 inches of clearance above the cab to allow for the bed box twisting on rough terrain. Troopies bodies do not flex the same way the Longbeds can As for me, I spent much of 2022, 23...

Edit: OTOH, the Victron DC DC chargers do get hot, so addition heat sink helps. If 120V or solar is available, keep batteries charged and balanced w a nice Victron hardwired charger when parked

investigating these alternator charging issues takes up lots of camping time. My 55amp alternator goes to an Optima AGM under the truck bed & then to dual Victron DC DC chargers that maintain 200AH LiFePo. Normal use hasn't taxed the battery capacity more than 15%. Ran house fridge from my...

A bit of dimpling on the front tube runner, but then eventually the header cracked two times at the collector tube. I eventually found that supporting the bottom of the header near the frame eliminated swinging. I eventually went to @Mudrak where he re-welded the exhaust manifold and made it...

Interested My brother lives nearby you & can pickup for me if these are still offered

Regarding the ride quality of a long wheel base 40 thru 75 series.... load it up with 700-1000 lbs of firewood, camping gear, extra U joints, maybe a spare driveshaft for crawling, beefy tools, etc. Then it will ride beautifully The wobbly tire may just need to get some highway heat-up after...

you’ll do the truck justice I’m sure. Great find and hope to introduce the trucks in Jackson, Mokolumne Hill or Murphys when we git out thatta way ☕️🍩

Waiting on the delivery of my passenger side AluCab Shadow awning. I don’t use a RTT, and I want to protect the awning (especially the rear) from being torn-off in tight, high angle maneuvers. I’m using 80/20 extruded channel and L brackets, mounted about 45degrees, so when the awning is...

got mesmerized by your work & my coffee got cold. Brilliant thread 👍

Your build is so jaw dropping and terrific execution of your ideas. You probably have another customer for the cool products on your site.

I have a spring clip that sorta holds the passenger bench in place, otherwise......get a date who doesn’t need A/C

Big applause for your write up with pictures. I just have one, no....two things to contribute. I run a de smuggled 2F in my pickup, and blew the head gasket in 2017 right behind the thermostat housing....Anyone who has ridden with me on the 880 or 580 knows I am at full throttle just about all...
