Re: Transit with Ecoboost review
I'm usually not fussed about looks, but.....ouch. That thing looks like a big ugly bug.
With some care and of course $$$, I figure that we can get another decade out of our E350.

Re: Overland Solar portable kits?
How do you connect the solar panels and charge controller to the house battery?

Re: EOT & ECT - Too Hot?

Re: Anza Borrego over New years (Was Mojave)
I dislike taxes as much as anyone, but am a big supporter of user fees. The theory is great. The heaviest users pay the greatest share of the costs.
Having paid for an adventure pass and OHV...

Re: Factory Sprinter 4x4

Re: Factory Sprinter 4x4
Very helpful info, thanks.

Re: A Quickie
I am a big fan of short trips like these.
Life does not yet accommodate my desire for longer adventures, so I try and make the most of what time I do have.
Looks like a fun area.

Re: Engine Controllers
