I don't understand how we got here but now that we are here, you don't have to feel bad a lot of guys are in your same situation and live a good life. Keep your chin up and walk with confidence like nobody knows.

If I had credit, I would buy a loaded to the gills AT. I have the guaranteed work every month to make a payment on two.

...but alas I've paid cash for EVERYTHING, and have almost no credit.

Go buy a ford truck with a lot of rebates and 0 percent financing and start building credit.

Got it registered at the DMV today too..


damn thing weights 11,600 pounds with almost everything out of it, no water and a 1/4 tank of gas.


Comes to $1100 a year in reg fees.


and to top that off my power steering fluid line had a loose fitting... made a f'n mess of my front end... :cry:


if this damn thing so much as leaks a drop of oil on a customer's drive way I'm gonna sue the pants of John Olsen for misrepresenting this dang thing to me..

with that stuff ( and anyone correct me if im wrong) but from what ive been told the third time you get a warning light the truck will shut off and you will need to get it towed to have it reset at a dealer......

so keep an eye out on that Mikey, or at least look into it more

my 07 just skipped under this req.....

I would DELETE the regen system, and get a programmer to bypass the regen mode.

Eff the EPA

Gotta love Cali, that commercial weight on the registration is what I love about living here.

If I carried a bit less shit I think I'd have room for a cot. And then could maybe swing it.

Instead of those fancy wand holders do ya think they could install me a fold down bed?

Looks good might even quiet it down a little.

Is there an installation video?

I need those pole hook setups some um bad. Also what brand solution line is that? Any issue with the blue rubbing off on carpet or tile or corners?

Only issue with that hose (brand unknown) is it weight.

AT makes and sells those roof clips. You'll need to bend them a bit to make it so the polls don't come out on bumpy roads.


You need a video on how to lay carpet tiles?..lol


Use gorilla and two sided tape...and lots of fresh razors....and knee pads.

Before I installed any equipment in my sprinter I linexed the entire inside and had them linex precut marine grade plywood (both sides). I then put down a premium adhesive rubber backed carpet.
