    How much to convert Volvo to Straight Truck?

    What ever is cost effective, single axle is best for tolls but I suppose dual axle is better traction in snow, any pro or cons to single vs dual?

    Best Wash for preventing Rust Corrosion for Cargo Van?

    Looking to do a wash and I'd like to just use a self serve car wash but I don't think that will be as thorough and was wondering if any locals up in the rust belt states could chime in and share some of the tips to keeping the rust away. I think the flying J charges around $20 for a truck wash...

    5 days to kill

    $100 a day is enough to live in luxury! :D Held up at the Quality Inn tax included $52 a night 4 star rating. Never really have to pay more then $55-60 a night through choice and if the rates are high you can use your points.

    Looking for a CARRIER that runs Sprinters out west from Tx or Chicago/Michigan. Tri State offering a $1 per mile, seems rare these days. What are their requirements, cdl anything special?

    Espar Reliablity Pros Or Cons

    I would have to check to see if I have a aux oem heater. My Sprinter is originally from Miami so it might have not been ordered with that option. Maybe call dealer with vin# tomorrow.

    Maybe a better way to put it is what is a carrier that will allow you just to run those loads I will also run to Denver or Minneapolis from Tx on occasion. The carrier I'm with now allows me to go wherever whenever but I'm needing a better rate.

    Ok, How about PLANAR?

    Just tough it out for 3 months with a alps mountaineering zero degree bag. I used that back in 2013, least I could do is sleep warm. There's the warm up period though when you transfer from sleep to driving that is no fun. I'm reinstalling my d2 in Feb winter will be almost over, but maybe I...

    Espar Reliablity Pros Or Cons

    I just removed/deinstalled a espar d2 out of Sprinter before I sold it yesterday and I think installing this heater looks pretty simple. Lowering the fuel tank looks like the difficult part everything else looks like a couple hours. I might try and do this on my own if I have the extra time. I...

    Is Detroit a safe place to relocate if in right neighborhood?

    West Village is such a small neighborhood adjacent to Indian Village. There are some dangerous areas around there. East English Village still has good bang for the buck, Any other recommendations in the city you would suggest Ragman? Corktown definitely over hyped and expensive. It will be...
