So I received my drive shafts back from the shop yesterday and installed them. They always look brand new when Todd rebuilds shafts. They went right in. I use a $10.00 bottle jack to remove or install my shafts. Just as easy and way cheaper then the $250.00 tool and I carry the bottle jack to...

I know a guy who used a camper like that. It was done fast and easy! Then about a month into his trip he noticed wood dust on the counters and then the next time he went into the camper the upper cabinets were laying down on the countertops. Guess that camper was really not able to handle the...

I live in Jamul. I go to Fiesta Island often but mine is white and black. If it was a stock work box truck it was probably another member on here. I will be out of the Area pretty much into the new year. Going out to AZ to find a Vacation home and property near Flagstaff. Need to get out of CA...

As of today my driveshaft's are still in the shop. My shaft builder Todd told me that he is still waiting to get to mine but the u joints are still in like new condition physically, however the seals are hard and dry around the cups. They will be replaced anyway. He looked at my truck and the...

I am waiting for that part number to be sent to me right now from parker. As soon as I get the call back I will post it up. Ok all, Here is the reply and part numbers provided by Parker for the units. They don't currently have a complete unit with housing and heater in stock. So you will have...

I'm enjoying your daily parts delivery!! You are almost as bad as I am, UPS loves me!

I will be moving to AZ soon!

I took mine out. Before I turned mine into a camper I had a cop ask why I had those in there and if I had weapons in my truck. I laughed at him and said "well it is a MILITARY truck! but no, no firearms." I also live in the broken state of California. LOL

Glad you made it home Scott. Cant wait to come over and see the truck soon!!!

Scott, Have a great trip and enjoy your Thanksgiving trip. Thanks for picking up my parts on your way also. Cant wait to see it here in person! Finally I will have someone else to go out camping were I go. No one else can follow me to my spots!!! LOL safe travels and if you need assistance...

HAHAHA that's true!!! Poor lady! Get to feeling better Brother!

The brake, lamp and weight slip were required by DMV and CHP when I registered my truck. I had to have certified brake inspection done to show CHP that the brakes worked and were in spec. (safe for the road). The lamp inspection was for all the lighting. It all worked correctly. Each inspection...

I used some basic side bolstered bucket seats I bought for like $160.00 each. My 80 year old mom rides in my truck and we just did a 1200 mile Off-road trip. 1800 total with highway mileage. she says its a Cadillac! You can see on her face that she was happy!

I registered mine as Stewart and Stevens 1997 RV from the start. They made my serial number into a 17 digit VIN, brake and lamp inspection, certified weight slip, CHP verified the vin and the camper to in-fact have the needed RV items then signed off on the paperwork. I then took it to DMV and...

If you get a chance...... can you ask you guy what the typical commercial Trucks hinge test specification is? Would make an interesting comparison. I dropped my shafts off yesterday to get rebuilt. Shaft came out easy, but boy are they heavy, especially the rear. I will have better then new...

Down where I live in east county San Diego, the CHP has there pickup cops that haul all the needed truck inspection stuff. That includes scales and all. They do random stops on large trucks and do inspections right there. If you don't pass the truck doesn't move! I see the good in that. We have...

At this point if I tell the DMV I want to do it as an RV build I'm not clear on if I need to cancel registration or do a planned non operation or what. Until it is registered it isn't in the system. You don't need to do anything. Except get it off the city street. If it is on private property...

[ If this is the case then I will be forced to make a hasty conversion to a camper so I can register as an RV which is the long term plans anyway. Why do you have to do a hasty RV conversion? Was the truck already registered by someone? If its never been registered prior, there is no rush...

So I took my truck into my buddies driveline shop here in San Diego he also works on many military trucks contracted through the Gov.. He looked at my shafts and said "Eric, your u joints appear to be fine, however the slip joints are shot." I told him that the manual has allowance for .005...
