    Ottoman Lift top Table Hinges

    Does anyone have these type of hinges installed and are actually using them? The ones I bought wiggle so much, do not sit flat when collapsed. Looking for specifics and where you bought them. Amazon only has variations to these cheapos! Maybe it’s my install, maybe just my understanding but...

    F350 CCSB

    Tested my fridge overnight to see how much energy it draws from the batteries and to see if it cools properly. The only other power draw is the CO2 sensor. The variances between the 2-ThermoPro sensors and internal fridge sensors are definitely different. Test ran from 9pm to 7am. Initial temp...

    F350 CCSB

    Another task completed. Made a 2” memory foam sleeping pad from scratch! With much help from the web site www.sailrite.com, the fabric calculator (bottom of page) and the videos were spot on. He said 30 minutes but it took me 4 hours… who knew¿ 32”x72” fits nicely on top and next to the fridge!

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    Did you change the hose and fitting sizes? I still want to tap out to 1/4. I purchased a premade 4 tire hose and I’m thinking that was a mistake. Yeah I think I will be last to fill up with 35x11x20s until I dial it in. The first test was not good hence my questioning the fitting/hose size. So...

    Where to start vehicle wise

    Best advise I’ve heard in a while. Although it seems like common sense it’s full of wisdom. Get OUT there and do it. Figure it out as you go, make those lists, find what works for you, be adventurous!! Be flexible with time and effort and ENJOY!

    Any Ketogenic “Keto“ Overlanders?

    Lets just say. “Fast food is a running herbivore” I love the carnivore mindset but am not so strict. I stay aware from grains a lot but not completely. I grind my own hamburger from a 20lb chuck roll. I just ground pounds of venison/bacon burgers for my next trip! Individually vacuum sealed...

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    Take a look at a Milton Valve. It is a valve stem remover/bypass air chuck. I sort of disagree with another member that it drastically increases your fill rate of your tire. Does it go faster but not a lot. Yes the valve stem reduces the inlet volume but we are talking seconds not minutes. Here...

    Finally received my air compressor. Yes it’s a cheapo but with a little mods it will serve its purpose. First up is a 70-110 psi pressure switch. Tomorrow, Anderson disconnects and a connection point on the rear battery box. If all goes well, I want to test airing up individual and all 4 tires...

    Diesel heaters

    I have the 8kw Vevor diesel heater. I'm a truck camper and I installed it inside and plumbed it to my main tank. I have a propane/C02 sensor installed right next to it and by the tailgate incase the wind blows the exhaust back towards the truck. I have tested it and feel safe concerning C02...

    F350 CCSB

    Made the initial slide boxes. I must be weird. I like the developing process. Taking a concept, a picture, an idea, and build it. Of course the ideas change when its physically in front of you, so plans change. I always wanted the griddle to pull out of the main drawer. Yet when you start war...

    I like the carpet very much. Rubber backing to boot! I used spray adhesive from Lowe’s and so far only the edges are a problem. But that’s understandable. https://a.co/d/3aXIU02

    Ok. I have a mental block against spam but I just flipped thru 44 pages of content on SPAM… I laughed almost the entire time except for the “I just puked in my mouth” moment about spam Oreos… I will never get that time back… what should I do???? Now that’s funny right there!!

Many items to change/cut out for the pull out sink/cutting board, the pull out Blackstone griddle and then figuring out the best storage ideas for the left...
