I have a 97 Chevy Express hightop conversion van and i need to find local contacts for light body work (surface rust and some fiberglass hairline cracks on roof). I also need to paint the van and would like a simple custom pinstripe or artistic paint job of the stars shown in the pic on the on...

Here are pics

I have a Chevy Express Conversion van and I have taken out the carpet and there is padding underneath that is like the gym floor mats. The metal floor has the ridges and the mat is already cut so that it fills the low spot in the ridged floor and the walking surface is flat. I am planning on...

I just bought a 97 Chevy Express 1500 Sherrrod Conversion High Top van and would like to know if there are any recomended products for use as a backup camera and a front camera for parking but that can also be used as a security camera and accessed from inside the van without turning the...

I usually put a some sugar near the anthill and that keeps them busy. If you are there long term sprinkle dried grits around the ant pile, wait a while then water it and the ants will explode. Gross but effective.

Anyone know someone who wants to get rid of a short bus (4 window) or a shuttler bus of the same size? Any resources out there to check?

I was sleeping in the topper pickup bed area and the truck cab was locked. When he started bumping the truck I hit the alarm one time (which locks and alarms the truck) then immediately a second time (which unlocks and unalarms the truck). So now the truck is unlocked and he opened the door just...

My scary incident happened just 2 nights ago...and I have the video to prove it... I am on the 4th week of a 3 month cross country trip and I'm sleeping in the truck topper and something big bumps my truck. So I start moving around back there to shake the truck back and let whatever it is know...

I heard one in Texas last week and it sounded like a wild boar crashing through the bushes.

Had the scare from hell last night camping. It was raining so I wasn't able to open the tent to my truck topper so I had to sleep in the pickup bed with the topper closed and the cab of the car is locked but the alarm is not set. In the middle of the night something BIG bumps my car, climbs on...

I took out the back seat of my Frontier and made a flat shelf and I put my cooler there which is strapped to the tie downs that were behind the seat with ratchet ties. This keeps the cooler from flying forward in a sudden stop. I also have my food in the back seat in a pullout 3 drawer chest...

I've read that strapping the red plastic gas can on the back of a hitch carrier is like a bomb if you get rear ended. Very concerned about that but don't have any roof rack to put it there. I was wondering if I could put them in a bin with a lot of holes drilled in the plastic bin in the top...

Is anyone out there in Texas right now? If so where and what is the traffic and gas situation around Dallas?. I've heard many places like Alvarado and Fort Worth are out of gas right now. I have to be east of Dallas by Thursday and want to keep up with what is going on. I'm sure as things get...

I just made a bunch of reservations in TX state parks. I hope I don't get booted out. I'm glad they are opening them up to evacuees. I'd be happy to share a site since I only have a truck/topper setup.

I'm heading out toward North Texas soon and was planning on bringing two 5 gal cans of gasoline because I hear there is a shortage right now and I don't want to run out on the road. What is the safest way to transport this? I have a truck with a topper. I was wondering if I traveled with the gas...
