Selling whale babyfoot foot pump, faucet, and food grade tubing plus hose clamps...everything you need to hook up faucet. Everything is new. Didn't end up using for build. 50 dollars for everything. Paid about 90 for all this.

Havent run into the need yet. I got that good Sam's insurance in case it does. I don't really have room on board for a spare 19.5 inch tire and wheel, jack, jack stands and the leverage to loosen the wheels. I have a compressor and tire repair kit that might get me by in a pinch. Do most...

It's a step van on a workhorse w42 chassis. The brakes are brembo 62mm I believe....that's the Piston size I assume. Here is actual link https://pasteboard.co/IRjHk1v.jpg

Link to picture....looks like hex head would just unscrew and bolt would slide out allowing me to lube and fix boot?  It's definitely a one ton truck....gvwr 12500. Caliper Slide pin picture

So my caliper slide pins (the ones with the little rubber boots attached that you lube up) have gotten kind of crusty and sticky on account of a couple boots ripping. I was wondering if it was possible to remove the caliper slide pins alone and lube them and install boots while leaving brakes in...

Well, ended up borrowing a jack from a friend of a friend and got them in. Thanks for all the creative suggestions though. I thought about it but the risk of being crushed alive made me opt for a more conventional approach

My regular bump stops are shredded so I'm replacing with timbrens. So I'm thinking maybe I'll get a jack after all at harbor freight....could come in handy in future I guess...my frame rails are about 2 feet off the ground though. Any tips on how to deal with that? Plenty of space for me to...

Haven't had that problem yet. I have a patch kit and compressor so will attempt without removing wheel and I have triple AAA worst case.

Oh, and removing tires not an option. I have nothing to torque them to 150 lb/ft. Its a dually btw.

So I'm trying to install some aftermarket bumpstops that fit between my axle and frame but I need about another inch of clearance to squeeze them in as suspension is too compressed right now. I don't have a jack but I need to unweight the suspension on the rear just enough to get one more inch...

Bass_sears,  My total circuit length is 50. So 25 on positive and 25 for return. I'm around 3.29 voltage drop on your calc with 10awg. That should be acceptable for a fridge, right? I'll go 8 if I have to but...

Just sprang for a 75dzw fridge and trying to wire it up now. I ran it off battery all night and the highest watt draw I got was about 63...so a little less than 5.5 amps at 12v DC. I have about 50 feet total circuit length so using a wire gauge calculator I should be fine for 10awg. However, the...

I keep going back and forth about how I'm going to keep the van warm this winter....diesel heater or wood stove. (If anyone has any very positive or negative things to say about either of these I'd love to hear it)  Anyways, one of the main issues I have with diesel heater is how I'm going to...

Thanks for the response Will and thanks for the link to your site. I watched some of your videos as well which are very helpful. So just thinking aloud.... The jackery input Max is 100watts....or about 3.5 amps at 30 volts....so ideally I'd want a solar panel that pushed out 30 volts in order...

I have a jackery 500 that I have just been charging off the wall where I can findfpower but I'm looking on getting a solar panel.  It has a pwm controller and is current limited at 3.5 amps and can accept voltages up to 30  The recommended panel is 100 watts but I have heard about others...

Hmmm...so it seems that I cant escape floor insulation according to most replies and the logic makes sense. I remember Bob from this forum stating in one of his videos however that he lived in alaska without any floor insulation. Wonder how he did that? I understand the cold floor pulling heat...

Oh, and a further question somewhat related. If bed is elevated 4 feet above an uninsulated floor, is there a danger of condensation underneath and mold growth? Does using slats under mattress instead of solid plywood solve this problem by creating space for mattress to breathe? Very...

Looking for flooring options for a stepvan that will predominantly be used in cold weather (like Colorado winter temps) and will need to withstand a lot of animal traffic and mud and melting snow, and damage from ski boots etc etc.  Currently have aluminum diamond plate on floor which would be...
