Re: "EDC"

This is an interesting thread. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who carries certain things "just in case." I started open carrying a loaded firearm DAILY back in January 2008 (when I lived in...

How cheap is too cheap?

Just wondering "how low you would go" on a base van to make your DIY RV conversion? This is available locally to me, but looks to be in "beat up" condition with questionable floor spills, ripped up...

Re: How old are Sportsmobile owners??

I didn't vote in the poll since I don't have a van or SMB or RV yet. Been planning and dreaming about my homemade build for YEARS now (started in 2005 I think). Just don't have the funds to make it...

Re: Oh, if I only had "extra" money....

Here are two photos of it. It looks to be in decent shape. I can't afford it right now, but if anyone else is interested, I can give you the dealer's name and phone number. I think he mentioned there...

Oh, if I only had "extra" money....

I've driven past a local car dealer's place a few times, and I keep looking at their 2002 Ford E350 passenger van (EB with Quigley 4x4 conversion) and I keep drooling and dreaming. I finally called...

Re: Nasty pop up

LOL, this method (freezer) reminds me of mags from BMX bikes back in the day. If you bend the crap out of one, you toss it into the freezer overnight and it comes out straightened again. I never knew...

Yeah, whenever I watch videos like that I wish I never got rid of my BMX/Freestyle Mongoose bike. I love that thing. I did dirt trails, dirt jumps, ground stunts, and ramps on that thing....

Yeah, I've been hit with nasty crap just going to music lyrics websites. Sucks.

Re: Guys kind of video

In the first video, the guy on the orange BMX bike doing tricks is Danny MacAskill. He's insane on that bike.

Re: 76 Pop Up Camper Fold Outs & 76 Ford E-250

Re: Review of my RV design specifications and drawings?

It's OK, there's no rush. No apologies needed.

I just wanted to let people know that I'm already reconsidering some things that were pointed out already.

Re: Hal The Van

WVvan, I must say that I admire your dedication and willingness to chop and cut up your van the way you do. I don't think I'd have the guts to do 90% of the things you've done (even if I did have the...
