Re: Picacho Project

It's a KX500! One of the biggest bikes ever made. 500cc TWO STROKE!!! I am only a little scared to ride it. And if that's not enough, the previous owner changed out almost every single part to...

Driver's seat

Re: Battery Tenders

One of the first things I bought for my bus was a Progressive Dynamics 4-stage converter/charger units. It allows me to charge fast at up to 70 amps, top up with a proper float charge, maintain with...

Re: Bench and dinette dimensions

You can squish out the water from foam by placing between two sheets of plywood and driving over them with the car. Never tried it, but apparently its what guys who get water into their snowmobile...

Re: Canadian Skoolie Project

Of course I put in a trap. To keep under the sink area clean, the trap is under the shelf, in the open area where the furnace is. Just above the floor level. Everything fits like a glove.

Re: Canadian Skoolie Project

We got the carpet in the back room, complete with proper underlay. It looks good and is comfortable to walk on. I found a tent sale at a local furniture retailer and picked up a brand new mattress...

Re: skoolie days

That is the best idea for tint. This weekend, I had come up with the same idea since I have a few windows left untinted. I decided to move the tinted windows (5% limo tint) to the back of the bus,...

Re: the wild blue yonder
