    What do you think about this truck?

    Car Salesman here. I deal in mostly new cars but I also sell used cars every now and then. First of all I love in the south and I dont like cars from up north. Other than that I am not a big fan of rental cars. If I rent a 4x4 I plan to take it somewhere I am going to need the 4x4. If I rent a...

    Window Motors 94 Ford explorer

    It would be a 94 Ford Explorer as the title as. Yeah I hate power windows aswell but I only have $1500 in the truck as it sits and it has new tires, tranny, timing chain, ignition and water pump. Thats hard to beat!

    Window Motors 94 Ford explorer

    I need a window motor on every window. Got to love ford for using plastic gears. The motors are about $80 a piece plus labor. Anyone know a way to get them cheaper or a solution to keep them up? If i pull them up the soon fall down to where there is about a one inch crack.

    Entertainment center

    Why do I need headphones?  It has speakers and it is barely audible in the front seats.  It gets louder but there is no need for that.

    Entertainment center

    I had to laugh as I typed the title. Right now I'm boondocking and  I'm testing out my Explorer this weekend.  Mostly my bed, window screens and entertainment.   Bed isn't bad.  It's two 3x3 memory foam pads wrapped in a fleece blanket.  The window screens are just thin black cloth held on with...

    floor mat type thing while boondocking?

    I am thinking of rigging up a canvas drop cloth to use as a kind of mat while boondocking. I mean I can always just throw out a tarp and say "hey there we go!". But I think that would make a bit of noise. Has anyone done this? Or am I just crazy?

    Microsoft is downloading Windows 10 to your machine 'just in case'

    I use Windows 10. I prefer it to windows 8 and 8.1. I much prefer Ubuntu but I have to use Windows for work.

    New guy! Using a 94 ford explorer

    already checked it out. It looks easy enough to do. I work at a car dealership so I am able to borrow the tools. The hardest part will be boxing it back in with wood to create storage. I am not great at woodworking lol

    New guy! Using a 94 ford explorer

    Hey Bob. Yes it is an suv.  I am not sure if the seats come out.  I have them folded down right now and I have a foam pad as a mattress laying over them. I will definitely have to check that out tomorrow once it's light out.  Currently I use it for camping and I just throw everything in the...
