I have noticed there are some gatherings and trips around the Boise area so I figured this would be a good place to ask like minded folks about a move to the area.
My wife and I are in our early 50's, she is retired and I work as an ICU RN, kids grown and gone and house has been paid off for...
Sounds so simple for the Taco/4runner crowd, toss on new control arms. Well for us Transit van folks there just as NOT been any options.
And I beat on my van hard so this was an upgrade I really wanted, especially as this rear control arm bushing "fights" the control arm movement on a lifted...
Hey all,
I have a buddy opening a Overland focused retail store w/ a couple of install bays. He is a few months out and getting the attention of the right kind of employees is a worry.
We talked about going to 4wd club meetings, hitting the trails and looking at builds and trying to find the...
Hello & Howdy All,
I am with the Sonora Rally April 21-28 and with the short gap between our race and the recent Abu Dhabi Desert Challenge is causing teams to have to fly/container goodies to Long Beach.
And you can't take a U-haul or other commercial rental truck across to Mexico (if you know...
Howdy All,
I have been assisting in Mexico since 2013 with desert races (ICU RN) and it is a blast. All the fun of fast vehicles and cheap tacos without in the worry of broken rigs and dreams.
For the 2023 Sonora Rally I am the Chief Safety Officer and we are looking to bring on more volunteers...
Hello & Howdy,
I work as an RN and often have free weekdays for either day trips or easy overnighters....
Just curious if we have any other folks with odd schedules, retirees or ??? that might be interested in goofing off.
I have a 4wd Transit on 33's with Fr & Rr Eaton Trutracs and plenty of...
I have not finished the interior of my SEMA build Transit but I wanted to get out for some day trip learning so I understand how it handles off road.
Quadvan does a great job on the conversion, the front diff is a Raptor 8.8 unit and the stock Ford 9.75 rear is plenty strong.
Eaton TruTracs...
Most important info....I am only selling this setup because I had a chance to build a Transit poptop 4wd SEMA project. Nothing wrong with the Taco/Treehouse combo, just don't need 2 killer rigs in the driveway.
Kelly Blue Book puts the truck alone at $30k without all the upgrades it got...even...
We all know that our rigs get fatter with mods and gear.
Then you have big tires, in my case a 33 is a huge tire for the Transit since it comes with 28's.
So since this is a SEMA build I have a chance to work with RaceChip to take their F150 piggyback setup and tweak it for the 3.5 Ecoboost in...
Some of you have seen me on Expo or other forums but I thought I would share the 30 day, 4500 miles roadtrip that will build my van for SEMA 2019.
Join the insanity.
Day -1 of SEMA 2019 Build a Ford Transit 4x4 Poptop Van Roadtrip
Update time for everyone, we ARE in Kansas anymore Toto! Or...
Howdy Vegas & Henderson folks,
I am doing a 30day, 4500 mile roadtrip building a 2019 Ford Transit for SEMA.
Along the way I will stop at Aluminess, Sportsmobile, Quadvan, Extreme Outback and others to build on bits here and there......but you know SEMA projects never go as planned.
So I was...
Recently during a novice Overlander class we got to put my Extreme Outback tire repair kit to good use.....
This led to my recommendations to the folks there and then after I got to wondering what others were actually using/liking.
So let's hear what everyone carries, if you have actually used...
Who is attending the show this year?
Would be great to set a meet up, I have an AirBnB walking distance from the show or we can meet at Tacos El Gordo (which are flat amazing) or name another idea.
I will have cigars in hand if you see me, just hollar 1 Leg Lance and I will hand one over :)
